From the comet came the world’s infusion with the titular substance Elex, a desirous ore which soon becomes known to the player as a malleable substance capable of being imbibed and transmuted with great potential for human evolution (XP, ability and learning points) to take place in the form of magic powers. You are Jax a former commander of the Albs, a cold and emotionless separatist sect of Borg-like militarists sharded from the Clerics, whom formed in response to the planet ( Magalan) being hit by a giant meteor in a cataclysmic nigh world-ending event. If you did not play Elex (2017) you can more-or-less catch up on some major story beats in my review of it, not only was I a bit edgier back then but so was that first game. “If you don’t know, I ain’t gonna tell you” She says, cocking them hips like you’re just another bitch in her way. If you are as ingenious as they’ve allowed you to be, it will be a walk, eh, jetpack ride in the park. In fact the major brilliancy of fighting against Elex II the whole way through is that it felt all the more satisfying to, eventually, have reached the point of conqueror strength and obliterate the multitudes of task at hand.

As an enormous fan of this series and the developer’s style, I wouldn’t have it any other way. The studio’s eighth game, and second within what is likely to be a trilogy, Elex II once again speaks to a pattern of obtuse combat systems, wobbly animation, satisfyingly over the top voice acting, jarring technical mishaps, and somewhat unforgiving difficulty dogging its opening moments.

In keeping their stronghold scant and their ideals clear they’ve managed to sustain their own ever-evolving spiritus of classic (read: early 2000’s) PC open-world action role-playing games, presenting a hill to climb as prime motivation for the player’s persistence in exploiting various cryptic systems from all angles and fighting off “jank” with their own cheesy actions. Using their heavily modified in-house Genome Engine since 2006 and creating modestly sized yet ambitious open-world fantasy experiences with a team less than a few dozen people strong is an admirable independent feat for a (technically publically traded, well-backed) company.
For all of the complaining one could do in venting their pedantic man-child sized “gamer” frustration with German role-playing game developer Piranha Bytes‘ long history of struggleware, and we will get there at some point, most of that ire should sharply diffuse nearby completing any one of their charming, if not slightly busted games.
