Elex 2 dex7/6/2023 ![]() RELATED: Gothic Remake Gets New Screenshots Elex: The Open World of Magalan But there's no denying that Elex's Magalan was one of the best, most unique open-world offerings of the past five years. Among those user scores, though, fans will find far more positive reviews than negative ones it's very much the type of game that some will love and some will hate. All of this is understandable because the game had a rather buggy launch (though, there have been some that were far worse), and the game is notoriously difficult. It has a 67 metascore/7.0 user score on PC, a 62 metascore/6.4 user score on Xbox, and a 58 metascore/6.5 user score on PlayStation. Upon release, THQ Nordic and Piranha Bytes' Elex received average to mixed scores. Not every game or franchise needs to be open world, but there are some truly good open-world games out there that may have been forgotten. Among those, THQ Nordic and Piranha Bytes' Elex stands out as one of the best, if underrated, open-world games of the past five years. What is this? A monster turkey bird? What has happened to this place.Įnter your email to follow myVGBC and receive the latest posts straight to your inbox.There are so many open-world games out there that sometimes it feels more like a methodical, dime-a-dozen approach to game development. ELEX II ĭamn, what are these nasty beasts? I remember coming across some ugly creatures, but nothing like these. I can’t wait to find that little bastard. I really hope he’s ok, and less annoying than I remember. Well, at least I’ll get to see my son, Dex. Things seem to have gotten worse, I barely remember this place or anything I learned the last time I was here. Uh, what’s that smell? Oh great, I’ve just woken up and I’m back in this hell hole they call Magalan. Since I wasn’t really into this one, I thought I should add something else to my review, and that is a short journal entry from the life of Jax in Elex II. I do appreciate this game, and if I had more time I would definitely give it another try. It’s not really a game for me, but I’ve been trying to get into more RPGs lately. ![]() Still, I am happy I got to give Elex II some time over the past week. I would think it’s much simpler to swing a weapon than to learn how to travel by jetpack. It was a bit strange how the game was like “Here’s a jetpack. I’m ok with slowly leveling up in games, but I need a few items and abilities to get me started. The game may just be a bit too slow for me. I’ve enjoyed exploring the world of Magalan so far, but I’m already itching to move on to what’s next. Figuring out the timing on blocks and parries will take some time though. When it comes to combat Jax has his attack and heavy attack, also a block/parry. The in-game combat could be better, but I feel like the feel of the combat is not really the point of these types of games. If you’re on a next-gen console and are looking for a big time RPG to play, then maybe look elsewhere. In fact, it plays very much like a PlayStation 4/Xbox One generation game. It wasn’t really working for him.Īlthough I’ve been playing the PlayStation 5 version of Elex II, this does not feel like a next-gen game. I came across this one dude who was trying to be sarcastic and sinister all at once. Sure, they’re rude and mean, but I don’t really feel threatened by them. Some of the characters, especially the rude bullies you come across feel like middle school bullies. I found this to be a very useful strategy, as I always do once I begin tracking quests and missions in games instead of aimlessly wandering through these giant open world maps. I also started tracking quests using the mission log. Once I began to find some other humans (the friendly kind, not the rude ones or those trying to murder me), I became a bit more comfortable. I started my journey incredibly lost in Elex II. I’ve never played any Skyrim, but this is sort of what I have always imagined it to be. You go around talking to everyone, trying to figure out what’s going on in the world. ![]() Elex II reminds me of what I have always pictured The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim to be. What I learned early on is that every player will have a different experience with Jax on Magalan. ![]() Explainer Video (THQ Nordic) Early GameplayĮlex II is a third-person open world action RPG. ![]()
