it's out-dated, unbalanced, clunky and utterly boring. The first part of the game is quite decent but the 2nd is very boring and tedious. I can't recommend this game to anyone who is not an hardcore piranha bytes fan. Unfortunately the last chapter is the weakest part, they overwhelm you with stuff that made me roll my eyes and because they can't make serious scenes like I previously said, I couldn't take the ending seriously, maybe ditch the In-game cringe Cutscenes with prerendered Cgi next time.

Story is ok with lots of big choices that alter the game and small ones that help with the immersion tremendously, a really nice aspect of the game and I wish more developers would do this.

Sound is mostly the same with good voice acting given the script, except they really can't do dramatic scenes, every single one of them is cringe even if I can tell that the actors did their best, the stiff face animations with dead eyes and awkward choreography is absolutely top Eurojank and I could not stop laughing in the last act where everything should be super serious. The graphics look noticeable better, with really nice looking environments at times, but the character faces look sometimes I think worse than Elex 1, don't know how they managed that.

Overall an improvement over the first game, but still with a lot of jank.įor me the most important upgrade they made is to the melee combat, which is now serviceable, it was so bad in the previous title I had to force myself to continue play until the end.
