After playing Elex1 I found the start of Elex2 Strange and a bit clumsy
After playing Elex1 I found the start of Elex2 Strange and a bit clumsy. After playing thru the whole game I found that the game is technically a "classic" Skyrim and Fallout4 are my all time favourites. However playing them takes a long time. The 2 Elex games are much shorter... and offer a wonderful challenge as well as thought provoking story line. I will be 80 in 6 months so do not have the dexterity to play them at high difficulty levels. But it forces you to devise battle strategies if you want to win the big battles. To make my favourite list a game must have a very complex and compelling story line intermixed with the battles. I rate Elex 1 and 2 at 98% satisfaction and enjoyment. So many of the games are very hollow and focus totally on the battles..... not my type of games.

Piranha Bytes’ Last Dance
Piranha Bytes’ Last Dance What I always liked about Piranha Bytes games, like the ELEX games in particular, is how unique they are. The kind of RPGs that almost nobody else even tries to make anymore. Minimum hand-holding, no cinematic rails, just a hostile world that doesn't give a damn about you until you earn your place in it. Factions really matter, choices can block content, and progression feels earned, not given. While the jank is real, so is the sense of ownership over your journey. ELEX II feels more like an old school RPG mixed with weird ideas that no other studio dares to try. It’s flawed, sometimes frustrating, but deeply authentic. ELEX II is a farewell to a special kind of RPG that we may never see again.
