Guys/Gals please support this game if you can. I'd love to see this developer continue to grow into a bigger studio. We need as many RPG developers as we can get. The more RPGs we have to play the better.
Loved the first game, already pre ordered this for March! Great series! Hope this developer keeps it going, no stupid DLC, no GAAS crap, just good old gaming baby!
@@bradsimpson9117 Yes sir! Good deal and keep spreading the word as they have a LOT of competition with all these huge games coming out. It's honestly a terrible time to launch it but they may not have had a choice. I'm definitely buying it cause I want them to be able to continue making games
No. First game was awful. Brocken balance, boring combat, mediocre story. And this game just like one before. Animations still looks like from PS2. What is this garbage? Developers again trying to make another Gothic. All their games looks the same. I wouldn't pay for this game, I wouldn't play this game. This game worth noting
@@Hunter-im3tg Combat is very bad unfortunately, but no other developer makes such immersive worlds and rewarding exploration. It's for a very specific taste of rpg fans for sure.
@@Hunter-im3tg I think you would, quests are a bit similar. Elex has a dense open world with meaningful exploration like handplaced items, no random or procedural stuff. Greedfall has a lot of repetitive combat that just takes up more time, but the story and voice acting is probably much better. Elex is a bit cheezy when it comes to the story but I do love the weirdness of it. If you want to feel a Piranha Bytes game you could try Risen 1 cause it's just 10€ on Steam and you might get the idea how immersive the world building is. Of course Gothic 1 and 2 are their best games if you are not alienated by oldschool graphics.
Loved the first one, not without it's flaws, but it had a very immersive world exploration that I always enjoyed in PB games. This is my most awaited game this year.
Same here. Elden Ring & Elex II are going to be great games. EDIT: Both are GREAT. Elden Ring has great challenges, as Elex II has great stories. Both are amazing at what they do best.
@@jamesvancam Spoiler Alert: Elex II is also a great game. Been enjoying the hell out of Elden Ring and observed a friend in the journalism industry playing Elex II. Elden Ring has been great for the challenge all the way through. Elex II is great for an epic immersive story, with it's first half being mostly a challenge - second half not so much. Each has something I want, but hope one day we can have two-in-one, where the entire game is challenging as it is rich in non-linear storytelling.
@@mmhmmm2 man I hope Elex 2 isn't so clunky in it's combat & that it's fluid and smooth in motion/animation, I digged the niche 1st game and hope they ironed out the issues/problems in the original. The sequel is out tomo along with Shadow Warrior 3. What a tight schedule filled with brilliant games, I might wait for a good sale if this game ends up being even the slightest bit great..bc I plan on playing GT7 very soon afterwards, GRID: Legends, GTA V (PS5), & maybe Ghostwire: Tokyo all next month. March is jammed packed, take care bro!
@@michaelschneider1365 "game has no replay value" is sentence I have NEVER said for any of the Pyranha Bytes game. Good RPG game is supposed to give you multiple options and choices to play the game, so in turn a good RPG is supposed to be replayable (without having to rely on some DLCs). Examples - Witcher 3, Mass Effect 2, Divinity Original Sin 2, anything game from Pyrana bytes... :P
It also means there will be no unpaid content or long term patch support. They will patch the game enough after launch to remove obvious bugs, and then stop all support. They have never done extended support for their games. Other studios put more effort into maintaining their games.
I got Elex about a week ago I'm really glad I did, I have no idea why people dislike the game, it's definitely one of the best games I've played, I'm really looking forward to the sequel
I'll take every aaa game in the past 5 months over this garbage. It's your typical budget right trash. Dying light 2 is so fun, Ellen ring looks better, horizon forbidden west looks better, hell I'll take cyberpunk over this. It at least turned into a decent game this never will
the first game was great 👍 very punishing at the start but once you started levelling more and get better armour and weapons it became much easier, very much looking forward to this and seeing where the story goes 👍
@@Frank_Costanzas_Lawyer it certainly did 👍 bow and guns where much better to use and felt less janky compared to sword fighting which wasn’t the best but overall I enjoyed it
Pirahnaa bites is suck a genuine good company. Their games are all a nice packaged piece of innovative rpg, that don't try to compete with anyone, but rather just give what they can do best. I will buy Elex 2, like I did for every single gothic, risen, and Ellex
PB's #1 problem is that have hardly innovated their own combat in 25 years. Its as frustrating as ever. The #1 reason the masses reject their games is their combat.
@@jonathansoko1085 well it's part of the charm of them imo. Sure elex 1 could have used some love in that departement but they are one of the rare on to have kept their rpgness/clunkiness in the combat. Every other rpg series has just turned into action games at lvl 1. PB games reward you for playing, not just for installing
I've had this game sitting in my steam library for about 4 years and I just started playing it about 5 days ago. Elex gives me the same energy that Dragon's Dogma did when I first started playing and they let me loose into the world. The game will let you know QUICK when you're in an area you have no business being in because the fauna and monsters in the area will quite literally stomp you out of existence in one or two shots. From what I can see thus far, it's an.... interesting game and much, much bigger than what I thought it'd be but what I do know for certain is that the reviews I have read do not do this game justice. They say that at best this game is an adequate talking simulator, and while I agree that there's a LOT of dialouge and chatter, the character and world development is super deep. All your RPers (roleplayers) out there are really going to have fun with this one. Despite its many flaws and very painfully dated graphics, I do like it so far. Oh, and there are Nexus mods for it, too, for those who are interested and didn't know.
I loved Elex and put 150hrs in 3 playthroughs. It‘s very sad that the release date is wayyyy to close to Elden Ring 🙈🙈 I will buy both and will wait these days for Elex 2. Because the combat is way weaker in AA Elex 2 of course. So I‘ll have fun 200hrs+ in Elex 2 first and then 500+ in Elden Ring (I love soulsborne and got 500hrs in Nioh 2 and also in DS3.) My 2022 is safe!
I'd play both and see which one is better. We can't truly judge the combat until we actually have hands-on experience. I have this feeling Elex II will be better, perhaps not as popular, than Elden Ring. PB are masters at developing an immersive world that changes with choice. FS are masters at developing stylistic worlds that are hard as hell to overcome. Between the two, I prefer rich storytelling that can be experienced differently through each playthrough.
Not controversial on an Elex video. There's little reason for diehard fans of what piranhabytes do to be excited by Elden ring, totally different game. Everything thing Elden ring does well, Piranhabytes suck at. Where as From Software being Japanese don't even think to try any of the things Elex does.
The PB Games are not without their share of flaws, but it is the total package which still fascinates me after all these years. These guys know how to craft beautiful Worlds, but they could use a new Engine and I am certain that THQ Nordic might provide them with one in due time.
"When people buy our game, they should get everything we've planned to put into it" Good to hear a dev say this, when most devs find ways to take content out of their game, to sell it to you later.
They have two previous franchises that came before Elex. First came Gothic 1-3, while the first two are probably the most beloved, and then came Risen 1-3. If they are in sale, you should give them a chance. The games are of course a bit clunky and the graphic had "more polygons" than the games today.
Piranha Bytes tried DLC with Risen 2 and it was a mostly negative experience for the studio as people accused them of cutting out main game content to sell as DLC islands. PB grew a strong sentiment against DLC from that experience.
True!´I have seen numerous interviews in which they stated that they will never do such a thing ever again... and I quote Björn Pankratz: we don't like the stinking DLCs. Yes... they may have their difficulties with the combat system in their games, but when we talk beautiful ravaged worlds and immersion, then these Guys aren't nobodies :)
The first game was awesome and worked well for me. The update they made for it after though did sort of muck things up for me fun wise though, mainly because you could exploit the game to do almost whatever you wanted before. I hope this game has improved playability so I won't want to rely or wish I could use those exploits, because the last game was full of tense situations and restraining mechanics that limited me to a point where I would have rather played a figuratively broken game and have fun, then a updated or patched game that took away the joy I felt being able to actually be nice throughout Jax's story because I was not limited or constrained. I also hope that emotional or logical system they used is gone or improved because that was the worst for me, because it forced you to be a jerk or nice based on a stat rather than your own reasoning which kinda eliminates the whole choice aspect entirely.
Fantabulous review! This is on sale in the PS Store atm so I wanted to check out a review before I bought this as I didn't play the first one. Your review sold me, I also find your voice very chill and relaxing so that was an added bonus.
love the no dlc policy...i rarly play the dlc..because until they come out i moved on and forgot already all that happends and all the controls and can't be bothered to relearn them
ohh only heard about this releasing today. Awesome....Need to have ability to reset ability points... even if its expensive. That will be sweet if can actually fly with the jetpack... also needs an option to take side of enemy.. would have been cool to join albs in first game.. or even have own faction and take out others.. need a territory cap system.
This setting kinda reminds me of Horizon Zero Dawn except HZD focused more on action adventure side of things, and Elex focused more on RPG side of things
Most of their similarities come from being cinematic action games on consoles. Even then there's a lot of differences in how those elements are handled. You remove those elements and you've got 2 very different games.
I was surprised by how much I ended up liking the first game. My main complaint is how the cursor on the map would like lock onto marks on the map and I couldn't move the cursor away. Didn't have any bad glitches other then that. The voice acting is pretty bad but I ended up really enjoying it. Made it feel like an old campy movie and I ended up laughing when people would talk sometimes. I haven't played the second one yet but the first had a lot of cool ideas and was really fun
Here's something you need to know. 49 hours in and all my saves are being corrupted randomly. Only info I can find is a 7 month old Reddit thread with a few people having the same issue.
I'm playing dying light 2 and am already bored with its lackluster RPG mechanics and story/choices. Can't wait to jump back into the world of Elex now.
Dying light 2's an open world game. I wouldn't necessarily recommend Elex either if what you really want is deep role playing and branching stories but it'll definitely offer more of that than Dying light.
Not..really. We could probably call it an RPG, but like Piranhabytes other games it's going to still be quite a limited role playing experience. If they stop giving us voiced protagonists and maybe also go back to stopping making everyone on the map invincible that'll definitely improve things. This'll be like a more consolized, less roleplay heavy Outer worlds.
I was very interested in the first game but didnt get it cus of the jank that i heard, but i am probably going to get this one if it is an upgrade on the last game.
Still playing Elex 1. so far maybe the Best RPG game ever. Just like Gothic but much more Gigantic. The low ranking of the game is a crime, considering unfairly overrated games such as The Witcher 3 and Skyrim that can't be called RPG games. After playing just a half of Elex 1 you realize that there are genius people called Pyrana bytes who are the only company on our planet that can cause you to no more enjoy playing any other companys games after experiencing the incredible masterpieces they brought to our world.
It's a eurojank game, basically every eurojank game comes with a fixed, voiced protagonist. Even the rare ones that feature visual customization, they'll still have you play a fixed, voiced character who talks for you often in non interactive cutscenes.
It looks good but the first one is brutal. It takes forever to Level up and get to a point where when you fight you don't die. The main story quests don't keep you from getting killed, everything in the world will kill you. I have 8 hours into the game and if it were not for a UA-camr that showed me how to up my Elex get around faster, I would have quit. I paid $8 and I still don't understand how other players upgrade so fast.
I cant wait for people to hate the combat then leave bad review because a quest was too hard and they died alot. Ive been playing their games since the beginning, i find it hard to believe they fixed combat this time. I hope so, but i doubt it
I'm honestly surprised they didn't make the location new since it's called and pronouced "MAGAland", lol. In any case, I approve and glad it is thus named
I love all their games but after so many of them they still can't get the combat right, just combine melee with magic already my god it's not rocket science how cool would it be to have the ability to combo melee attacks with magic bursts of fire or ice, magic in one hand sword in the other would be pure awesomeness.
As long as it doesn't lock me out of my weapon because I upgrade it. Also those requirements... this game does NOT look *that* good. Something's wrong there.
The worldbuilding of Elex just doesn't make sense to me. The way we are we supposed to believe that the highly technologically advanced Clerics and Alps aren't wiping out the other factions is just... no, just no. Particularly the Berserkers who are just glorified barbarians fighting with bows and swords and some sort of weak magic... The first game really pushed you toward the Berserkers because they are generally the least "evil" but i just couldn't, it feels ridiculous.
I wonder if combat system is still shit? I don't get it, there's so many games with great combat to borrow from, but alas, Gothic is all we get. I liked the world in Elex, but gameplay wise, had to switch to ranged as soon as I could, because melee is just atrocious. Same could be said about every game Piranha's make, nice world, terrible combat, maybe except for Risen with much better combat that I actually enjoyed, but my guess is that it was just a fluke. A shame, really.
Me personally I hated the game, I did not like the way you move your character, as a first time player, everything was really hard to understand if you never played the game before. It was not fun, do not get this game.
Two AAA action focused games. No surprise. If you want what AAA open world games offer, either of those two games or basically any of the many others are a better offering. If you want an RPG or especially the specific things a piranhabytes game offers though. Well you won't find those at all in Elden ring or Horizon.

Elex 2 will be great
I just bought 1 and 2 hoping they are good
"OH" so Elex 2 is coming out? well shit, here we go again.. go crazy or go home
I think they should add a new game plus for outstanding replay ability
Loving Elex 2 Berserker are insanely powerful
I hope the combat is better I really like the first game but the combat puts me off so bad that I don’t wanna play it
Is there a way to remove shadows?
buy on GOG
Elex is one of my favorites.
This game would make a great R.T.S style game with all the factions involved I bet it would be fun.
If you meant the setting, I could see that. The game itself couldn't be converted easily into an RTS game at all though.
I'm playing dying light 2 and am already bored with its lackluster RPG mechanics and story/choices. Can't wait to jump back into the world of Elex now.
Dying light 2's an open world game. I wouldn't necessarily recommend Elex either if what you really want is deep role playing and branching stories but it'll definitely offer more of that than Dying light.
It's gonna be fun to play this game.
Looks legit...I sincerely hope the story/endings/fights change based on player choices. But I've heard that alot since the 80's :/
I hope the outlaw faction is viable this time. The 1st game, the clerics were so op it made no sense to join the others.
Elex is pretty awesome I recommend it.
Real rpg
Not..really. We could probably call it an RPG, but like Piranhabytes other games it's going to still be quite a limited role playing experience.

Is there co-op?
so? you can join every faction?
With DirectX 11 as a requirement, it should also run on Windows 7.
Still playing Elex 1. so far maybe the Best RPG game ever. Just like Gothic but much more Gigantic. The low ranking of the game is a crime, considering unfairly overrated games such as The Witcher 3 and Skyrim that can't be called RPG games. After playing just a half of Elex 1 you realize that there are genius people called Pyrana bytes who are the only company on our planet that can cause you to no more enjoy playing any other companys games after experiencing the incredible masterpieces they brought to our world.
I fucking hate when RPGs don't have character creation.
It's a eurojank game, basically every eurojank game comes with a fixed, voiced protagonist. Even the rare ones that feature visual customization, they'll still have you play a fixed, voiced character who talks for you often in non interactive cutscenes.
I just want dlcs for this game 😢 more companions, romances, and anything for more story. Or a new elex where you play as jax son.
Looks amazing game, I just wished if we can change the look of the main character because he looks boring asf
It looks good but the first one is brutal. It takes forever to Level up and get to a point where when you fight you don't die. The main story quests don't keep you from getting killed, everything in the world will kill you. I have 8 hours into the game and if it were not for a UA-camr that showed me how to up my Elex get around faster, I would have quit. I paid $8 and I still don't understand how other players upgrade so fast.
the game grows on u
I cant wait for people to hate the combat then leave bad review because a quest was too hard and they died alot. Ive been playing their games since the beginning, i find it hard to believe they fixed combat this time. I hope so, but i doubt it
Can you play elex II offline? On ps4
I'm gonna buy it cuz it's in MAGALAND
I'm honestly surprised they didn't make the location new since it's called and pronouced "MAGAland", lol. In any case, I approve and glad it is thus named
Horizon Forbidden West
Just don’t expect it to work with a Vega card
Hmmmmmmmmmm sounds like I heard that before were your choices matter I just can’t wrap my head around it oh yeah I’m dying to see the light
I love all their games but after so many of them they still can't get the combat right, just combine melee with magic already my god it's not rocket science how cool would it be to have the ability to combo melee attacks with magic bursts of fire or ice, magic in one hand sword in the other would be pure awesomeness.
Mark my word - *This game will be better than RDR2*
As long as it doesn't lock me out of my weapon because I upgrade it.
Also those requirements... this game does NOT look *that* good. Something's wrong there.
Is this a console exclusive?
yes
watch the darn video and you will know!
No
@@jamestaylor954 I must have missed it.
Pc also
"The threat of Magalan.."...Sound like the land of insurrectionists lmao
Looks like mass effect something.
Kinda...but if Mass effect was combined with Fallout.
The worldbuilding of Elex just doesn't make sense to me. The way we are we supposed to believe that the highly technologically advanced Clerics and Alps aren't wiping out the other factions is just... no, just no. Particularly the Berserkers who are just glorified barbarians fighting with bows and swords and some sort of weak magic... The first game really pushed you toward the Berserkers because they are generally the least "evil" but i just couldn't, it feels ridiculous.
I wonder if combat system is still shit? I don't get it, there's so many games with great combat to borrow from, but alas, Gothic is all we get. I liked the world in Elex, but gameplay wise, had to switch to ranged as soon as I could, because melee is just atrocious. Same could be said about every game Piranha's make, nice world, terrible combat, maybe except for Risen with much better combat that I actually enjoyed, but my guess is that it was just a fluke. A shame, really.
So its fallout meets inhuman 🤔
Waiting epic store give $10 coupon so only pay $14 dollar
Insta buy
i watched this video but i was left wondering wtf is this game
This studio has been cursed with awful combat in every game I wonder if they finally figured it out
when beresker was magic user berersker has always been melee dmg dealer
I really don't like the art style of Elex games. Elex 1 had amazing deserts but everything else looked really bad.
Me personally I hated the game, I did not like the way you move your character, as a first time player, everything was really hard to understand if you never played the game before. It was not fun, do not get this game.
Just hope they got better models for faces, the previous game was horrible, ugly people that look like melted plastic!
This game is still janky. Its fun though. Even the jank can be entertainment. Weird jump cuts and so bad it’s good dialogue.
combat is still janky but it's fun
i love that Magalan sounds like MAGA land
it doesnt look better enough from the first game... thats a shame
It lost me at default guy.
PC Ui is atrocious 😖
First bro
Looks just as shit as the first
Man looking at this... It's just ugly compared to ELDEN RING or Horizon Forbidden West.
Two AAA action focused games. No surprise. If you want what AAA open world games offer, either of those two games or basically any of the many others are a better offering. If you want an RPG or especially the specific things a piranhabytes game offers though. Well you won't find those at all in Elden ring or Horizon.
stupid game ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 90% bla bla bla 10% action.... don't buy it it's not worth it !!!!!!!!
