Democracy has won! Sony has been corrected!!

It is time to return to positive reviews and slaying of the forces that represent Anti-liberty

Needs more polish and updates. Needing to delay the game 2 times and then only release in early access displays a lack of proper management. I would figure after 2 delays, someone would've figured out you were putting too stringent of a timeline on development.

If you're unsure about the game, wait. It's worth mentioning that if you have a high end PC you're likely to crash regularly.

The game uses multiple cores, but not multiple threads, leading to what appears to be high CPU usage yet low power draw. Inventory management is a pain, because you have to drag your cursor back and forth in order to see what is in it, this is irritating as hell because you literally cannot see most things with any reasonable time, in addition to the already long interaction time of even just opening the inventory. GPS beeping is awful, especially if you've tweaked your equalizer settings or have surround sound, give a way to turn the damn thing off. Sounds in general are all overtuned and harsh as hell, everything doesn't need to be loud.

After 200 hours, and nearly a year later. This game had a lot of potential and it's squandered literally all of it. It has 2 maps, the 1st has okay performance, the 2nd one has performance that is absolutely awful, and somehow is even worse then the 1st map during the closed beta tests.

They changed hitboxes for critical hits and what not, so now the the critical hitbox is damn near impossible to hit unless you are the host.

Performance overall is absolutely ♥♥♥♥. It has massive stutters regularly, and each update steadily makes performance worse. Walk into a cave, and you'll have a decent hang due to the caveworms. It also happens whenever the host levels up or if someone cross into a different section of the map.

I've been in their discord for a long time, and the amount of people that just want new features and new things outweighs the ones that would rather have better performance and stability. The developers treat this like a PvP game talking about balance and were extremely resistant to adding in respec points. There is also the element of "how do we keep people playing for longer", much like World of Warcraft has and still attempts to do. At one point, it took a full in-game hour to craft a stamina paste to give you better stamina regen for 60 seconds, that is insane. It is now down to 30 minutes, which is still ridiculous.

There is a lot a I want to say, and even go as far to bash on, but I've gotten my point across.

I have uninstalled this game and may revisit it in 1-3 years and will update my review accordingly.

While this game seemingly has a lot of potential, I cannot recommend it. I do plan to finish the game as I've just reached chapter 7, but so many things feel forced in just to look cool, or are extremely jarring to the point that what I had originally accepted as quirks are now things I would consider were due to laziness or lack of caring about the quality.

I could probably continue ranting on every little thing, but I feel like i've gotten my point across with the below statements. If this developer released another game, I would wait for reviews on it before buying, but I would wishlist it in hopes that they learned from their mistakes during the development of this game.

Potential spoilers
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The game looks great, the story has potential. The weapons and the stats feel like they don't really fit the characters, they feel as if they were intended for creating your own class but the game has strict roles and many of the things seemingly have no real purpose. At one point Selene uses an ultimate ability that feels like it came completely out of nowhere, with no build up, in a fight I easily won by out playing the AI. Daryon's ultimate doesn't really fit his style or personality as he's literally just beating the enemy with his fists. I haven't even bothered with other characters ultimates because it's honestly really cringy and i'd rather avoid another annoyance.

Story telling starts goodish, then slowly gets worse, almost like there are parts missing about the backstory. (Example: I'm quite sure Daryon and Selene are adopted since their mother is black in-game and they're completely white, but literally nothing is mentioned ever). At one point you play a short scene as Oboros and pick 1 of 2 characters with absolutely no idea what or why you're picking them, and it's completely out of the blue. The are more plot holes that either are so loosely connected that without over analyzing you can't figure them out, or things were cut/forgotten about until it was too late. The various chapters feel like a different amount of effort was put forth into each one of them, Some feel like a good amount of care was taken to ensure flow and others were rushed just to get to the next part.

The Map and minimap system is just awful.

The characters start out good but never get a ton of development/growth and just continue getting more and more annoying. When you finally learn more things about the characters, it feels out of left field because so many things are only half-way done instead of spending the time to truly expose the characters. The short of this is: all the characters have hidden things and/or have obscured lots of things that all come out of nowhere towards the end.

This game Is hilarious!

The slight jank and strangeness of some things all feed into a satirical story about a Black Knight with his flame powered coffin cruiser while wearing funny hats and accidentally killing yourself because you made big boom with staff too close.

I look forward to seeing more from/for this game, 10/10 would play again. Probably on nightmare difficulty next!

While the game felt refreshing at first and very much a lot of fun early on. The more updates that happen, the more broken the game becomes. I cannot recommend this game and I honestly don't see it lasting very long at the rate things are going down hill.

Additionally, the changes being made to the game are evident of the Developers attitude being "play the way we want you to" as opposed to playing the way you want within the rules of the game. I don't know if it's a management issue or a disconnect between the players and the developers.

I was very excited for this game and now I can't even bring myself to play the game because of all the issues and the direction it's going. If the game is still active in a few years i'll give it another look, until then I'll just add Amazon Games to the ever growing list of developers I won't purchase/play games from. It's sad to see another game be ruined by poor decision making :(

Main game is amazing and I absolutely enjoy it. The DLC is not enjoyable, the soundtrack is different from the main game and it feels especially lacking. I was excited as hell when first playing the main game and getting to hear the soundtrack and i even enjoy listening to it while playing other games.

I took today off to play the DLC and aside from the disappointing music, the weird level design and overall feel of it just doesn't compare to the main game. It honestly feels like a simplified and cheap version, that just feels lacking in every facet.

I was really excited for this, and this is honestly one hell of a let down.

Note: I've played for almost 20 hours, I had been offline while playing so it doesn't register.

I really want to like this game. There is an interesting backstory with the world and the unique take on abilities is interesting as well.

The combat is just plain poor, you walk very slowly while fighting. A troll that throws a rock and you roll to dodge it and the rock just follows you is ridiculous. Attacks are very simplistic and slow, animations can't be canceled. Nothing is very responsive at all in game. You have to hold shift for a couple of seconds to even begin sprinting. (Note: I used keyboard & mouse)

The English in game is atrocious, there isn't consistency with Jax saying Jora half the time. I understand the game's native language is German. But who ever did the translations did a very poor job. There is an insane amount of things that are just completely missed with the story and it feels like at times that there are large jumps between parts of the storyline with no explanation at all. Example: Jax asks where someone is, gets told that they don't know where the individual is. Suddenly the quest tracker just shows the individual's location on the map.



Overall: If the combat, english translation, and story telling had much more effort put into making it higher quality, this game would've probably one of my favorites. But it's just not good, I've seen people mentioning a potential for Elex 2. All I can say is I hope the Developers get the combat figured out and do a way better job at story telling and translations.

Game that is constantly updated and as it continues through it is always changing. Started playing over a year ago and the HUD back then was pretty bare, now it is very much different than it used to be. New gameplay additions such as the Archwing and having your own Space ship are things that weren't around when I first started playing. If you decided not to play for awhile don't be surprized when you come back and things have changed quite a bit.
