ELEX II

ELEX II ist mehr als nur eine Fortsetzung – es ist ein Statement. Piranha Bytes liefert einmal mehr eine Open-World-Erfahrung, die den Mut hat, anders zu sein. In einer Zeit, in der viele Rollenspiele sich ähneln wie Copy-Paste-Formulare, sticht ELEX II durch Ecken und Kanten hervor – im besten Sinne. Die Spielwelt ist riesig, roh und voller Geschichten – ohne sie dir ständig ins Gesicht zu drücken. Statt Marker-Marathons gibt’s hier echtes Entdecken. Du wirst nicht durch blinkende Icons gelenkt, sondern durch Neugier. Und genau darin liegt die Magie. Die Welt wirkt glaubwürdig, organisch gewachsen, manchmal sogar feindlich – aber immer spannend. Du wirst mit echten Entscheidungen konfrontiert. Es gibt keine simplen Gut-Böse-Pfade, sondern moralische Grauzonen, die dich auch außerhalb des Spiels beschäftigen. Jede Fraktion hat nachvollziehbare Ideale, jeder Charakter seine eigene Agenda. Und genau das macht das Rollenspiel-Erlebnis so stark. ELEX II ist kein glattgebügeltes Hochglanzprodukt – es ist ein Charakterspiel. Wer bereit ist, sich auf seine raue Welt, das herausfordernde Gameplay und die Eigenheiten einzulassen, wird mit einem intensiven, langfristig motivierenden Abenteuer belohnt. Es ist ein Spiel für Entdecker, Taktiker und für alle, die Rollenspiele abseits des Mainstreams lieben.

If you come directly from Elex1 you will be disapointed the first few hours. If you force yourself to keep playing the game will suck you in and despite some question worthy design decisions it can be a very enjoyable experience. I got this on sales and i don't recommend paying the full price for it. Compared to the first title the production quality is significantly lower.

Każdą sekundę gry spędziłem na tłumaczeniu sobie powodów, dla których w ogóle w to gram. ELEX II powiela każdy błąd swojego poprzednika i jest żałosnym zwieńczeniem historii studia Piranha Bytes.

I just don't know what it is but this game is just plain boring. I want to get into it but can't. Cheesy, sleazy dialog, with really bad voice acting. After a fair amount of grinding in quests the game and story line don't seem to move forward very quickly, it's draining. To be honest the trailers are better and more entertaining than the game it self. I know some like it but I can't seem to find a place for it. It's a deleter from the steam library.

Story is mediocre, graphics and gameplay are subpar, and because the dev studio shut down we will not get the last part in the series. I'd say it's not worth it.

The next chapter of one of my most memorable gaming experiences. I admit I’m a bit biased, so overall I can say I had a good time with this game. That said, it’s far from flawless—on the contrary, as an RPG, it’s hard to point to any aspect that feels truly polished. If there’s one exception, it’s probably the faction system, which remains a Piranha Bytes tradition and one of the most advanced parts of their games. In terms of story, it feels like a second season nobody asked for. The writing is highly inconsistent: one moment you feel like you’re reading a young adult novel, and the next moment it suddenly hits you with something surprisingly heavy. The same inconsistency applies to the voice acting. The first game was a beast when it came to world-building—you were discovering a completely new world. In ELEX 2, however, it often feels like more of the same. As for RPG mechanics, they are largely similar to ELEX 1, just slightly more developed and expanded. All in all, it’s a slightly above-average RPG, and I can still easily recommend it to any RPG fan—especially those who enjoyed the first game.

TL;DR: Compared to Elex 1? I don't think the story or graphics are as rich, but the game play and combat have DEF improved! If you were a fan of Elex 1? I can almost promise that you will enjoy Elex 2. Icons are now colored and detailed instead of black and white sketches. I DO NOT appreciate Jax going from a tough guy in Elex 1 to a bland, middle aged dad in Elex 2. Doesn't give me high hopes for his character in Elex 3. The story is satisfactory leaning towards good. It's not the best, but it still holds its own. I like how speech checks are by attribute points now instead of skill points. The jet pack upgrades are a VERY welcomed addition to Elex 2. If there's an Elex 3 in the future, keep that as part of the game. I honestly think that making Elexit is much easier in this game than in Elex 1, if you know what to do. *Animal Trophies should be 3/3 *Take 3 damaged weapons and fix them into a standard weapon. It sells for more than the sum of the 3 damaged weapons. *There is another way if you pick the Neutral ending, but I won't spoil anything beyond that. I HATED those long escort missions. If there's an Elex 3, those need to be taken out. Something that I thought would happen (and wanted) was the ability to pay Gardok, and he would make the Bastion look less damaged and more fancy. Overall I really enjoyed this game so much, I earned 100% of achievements on it. I usually play it when I just need some time to myself and something I'm already familiar with that I don't have to stop and learn, and I've had a slow day, and I need something a bit more fast paced. Well received hidden gem on Steam.

It looks like the most primitive cash grab. All the choices made in elex 1? Forget it, the authors knows the best and will choose for you. Why even bother to add them in the first place? Classic for PB hero reset. While in e.g. Gothic 2 it was stretched, but can be believed it's completely nonsensical here. Also, all fractions ignored yours warnings even tho at the end of elex 2 some of them were supporting you? And the cherry on top: graphics and technicalities. Somehow they achieved worse graphics than in Elex "1", it looks like a joke. How do people look at it without puking? I would go so far that gothic 1 looks better (at least from "style" perspective). No way it's a 2022 game, it would be even ugly for 2012. I didn't experience much fighting, but it felt even worse than in first game. Probably there are much more technical problems, but to be honest I already lost too much of my time for this "game".

over all terrible, huge fan, and finished this game as a chore
