ELEX II Released [Mar 01, 2022, 3:12 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
ELEX II is now available for Windows on
GOG.com and
Steam, offering
a sequel to Piranha Bytes' sci-fi, open-world action/RPG. The
Release Trailer shows
off its retro-futuristic vibe, while rocking out to a tune from retro-futuristic
punk Billy Idol. Here's the pitch:
Get ready! Starting today, players around the globe can become the hero of Magalan. Science-Fantasy-RPG ELEX II is launching today for PC and consoles, offering a vibrant open world to explore including five major factions each with their own story arc for the players to join and experience. Magalan is full of fantastic creatures, hidden secrets, and fascinating vista - there are no limits for explorers, you can go and visit every place you see in-game. And thanks to Jax’s improved jetpack, exploration just got a lot more interesting. Traveling by jetpack allows you to fly up that old skyscraper or float down like a feather into a deep underground cave without breaking Jax's legs.
I remember the old Gothic games, they too had plenty of Jank, but at least their combat was "mostly" jank free. I say mostly since by todays standards it would probably be considered pretty horrible, but at the time they were revolutionary. Unfortunately, they never much improved on that with their followup games. Action RPGs live and die based on how satisfying or good their combat is, and this well....it doesn't look that great.
