Only one at a time can accompany the player but because the AI is so laughably bad in this game, they really only serve a purpose as a ‘meat shield’. Like most RPG’s Jax will not save the world alone, Elex 2 does offer some companions to take along on the journey. Blending the two worlds and even fighting alien threats and earthly ones at the same time with a companion was always something. Not to be confused with the uber successful, historical Showtime show of the same name but I digress.

I don’t know, I thought the blend of it all was very reminiscent to the movie Outlander, where a man from a far off planet crash lands on Earth during the time o the Vikings and they have to band together to fight an alien threat. People were living in wooden cabins and shacks, using axes and swords but the guy next door had laser guns and ‘Iron Man’-esque armor. One of the things…well really the only thing I liked about Elex 2 was the blend of primitive and future tech. Movement speed just feels slow, and that’s even with the jetpack that you get early on. For an open world game that wants players to explore it made it quite the chore to do. However, the textures are bland, and while some areas look better than others the overall world just looks very drab and it didn’t help that it suffers from pop-in badly. I will say this for Elex 2, the map is huge and you can run from one side to the other with no loading screen and that’s technologically impressive. Things only get worse as players finish the starting area and the world truly opens up.

Mind you this is on the Series X, running on performance mode and it still didn’t feel like it was a smooth 60fps. I had to check to ensure that my television wasn’t producing some sort of latency issue. I don’t think I have ever played with a combat system that is so unresponsive in quite some time. But you want to know what REALLY makes this game so difficult… come close so I can tell you. It’s just an odd approach to put so much effort in explaining away the hero’s abilities but then throwing these incredibly difficult monsters at them from the outset. The number of times I got killed by what was basically a flying wasp in the starting jungle area is ridiculous! And this is speaking from a POV of someone who has been playing Elden Ring, so I understand difficulty. As I said players will start with a pipe that they will keep for what is honestly too long and have to fight monsters who feel way more powerful than they appear to be.

For starters it’s quite a difficult game. Very basic story set-up aside Elex 2 is really a mixed bag of tricks. And since he hasn’t been killing monsters, his skills have lapsed is it a clean and elegant solution to the age-old problem of putting a hero who ends an adventure fully powered into a sequel adventure where they should still be powered? No, but I applaud them for trying and it mostly works here. Platforms: Xbox (Reviewed), PlayStation, PCīasically, its been some years since he saved the world, and while he was ‘hot’ for a while… his 15 minutes of fame were up and everyone forgot about him. One thing I thought was kind of interesting is the way the game explains Jax’s lack of power. But losing his house to this new enemy forces Jax back into the world where he has to reunite factions to help defend their planet. Seriously, the aliens destroy his house so he picks up a pipe and beats them up for it. Wasting no time giving our hero a reason to fight, Elex 2 starts off by making Jax homeless. I never played the original due to other open world games at the time but having played the sequel I am left with only one thought…How on God’s round, spinning, ball of dirt that we who live on it call EARTH did this game get a sequel?Įlex 2 puts players once again in the shoes of Jax, the hero who saved the planet of Magalan in the previous game. Having heard about the original Elex developed by Piranha Bytes I was intrigued because reviews and word-of-mouth pointed towards it being a ‘janky’ but mostly loveable game which I just assumed would be like a Spiders developed game. Technomancer has its quirks but it is a ton of fun, same with the more recent Greedfall. One of the best examples I can give is most of the games made by developer Spiders. Something about them never feels quite right, but because of the fun being had its overlooked. I don’t mind “janky” games you know the type that are “so bad, they’re good” either because of content, or story.
