Hype:
Elex, from the makers of Gothic and Risen, might be a disaster
What even is this game?
"I’ve seen it twice now, and I still can’t make heads or tails of it."
[After detailing the complex lore and factions], "But it could just as easily be a series of fetch quests. I have no idea."
"So far, the game demos I’ve experienced have proven to be very uneven. There have been crashes and glitches, including a pretty distracting one related to breast physics. The difficulty curve is also all over the place.
"Bugs aside, the voice acting and the animation of the non-player characters is painfully bad. Likewise, the dialogue system appears to be paper thin."
"My experience so far has not filled me with confidence."
