![]() ![]() While this is clearly a kleptomaniac’s wet dream with loot scattered all over the place ripe for the taking, the game refuses to allow any form of loot collecting while you have a weapon in your hand. It was in these initial stages that I encountered my first annoyance with this game. ELEX II is quite unforgiving in the early stages of the game as many of the mundane enemies pose quite a threat until you’ve managed to level up, pump points into attributes, and find some better gear than the lead pipe you start things with. Jax starts out weaker than a rice cracker that would struggle to punch a hole through a wet paper bag. No hand-holding here, no quest markers that instantly appear, no directions to follow it’s just you versus the world, and the world will win. This is where your adventures begin as you’re left to your own devices. Jax’s main focus at the start though is to find his son and ensure his safety. ![]() Dawkins tasks you to bring assistance to Bastion so plans can be made to defeat the new invaders. The five main factions of the game - the Berserkers, the Albs, the Outlaws, the Morkons, and the Clerics - are still fighting for territorial control and couldn’t give two flying hoots about the invading Skyand threat. Waking up several days later in the care of one Adam Dawkins - the very same Dawkins that was inside of “The Hybrid”, and antagonist of the first ELEX game - who brings Jax up to speed with current events. Unfortunately, one of these unusual beasts manages to bite Jax on the arm, infecting him with the space lurgy as he then falls off a cliff and is knocked unconscious. Forced out into the open, Jax is then attacked by strange alien creatures leaving him no option but to run for his life. Set six years after the events of ELEX, we once again take control of Commander Jax, who is no longer remembered as the hero of past events and is now living in isolation.Ī new threat emerges from the sky with meteors raining down onto the lands of Magalan, one crashing through the roof of Jax’s home. Yes, the same developers that “blessed” us with the Gothic and Risen franchises. ![]() Reviews // 28th Feb 2022 - 1 year ago // By Neil 'Wedge' Hetherington ELEX II ReviewĮLEX II is a science-fantasy, open-world role-playing game from Piranha Bytes. ![]()
