Thankfully unlike some other RPGs, I didn’t have anyone shaking me down either for ill-begotten goods. This mechanic is nearly a requirement though given how you improve different items through crafting and there not being any central location for storage – at least that I’ve found yet. Aside from certain areas where I would clearly be caught stealing, I took an approach of “If it’s not nailed down, pick it up”. This means there are no limits to how much you can hold and there are things to loot everywhere. As an RPG should be, there are many skills to unlock.Ī couple of the biggest things I noted about Elex II that sets it apart from others in the genre is that there is no carry weight. But if you want the most genuine experience that Piranha Bytes has put forth, throw caution to the wind, go with your gut and save AFTER you have made your choice so there’s no looking back. Mostly because I was trying to work through the best overall outcome. I’ll be completely honest – I’ve been “save scumming” throughout my first playthrough. Though encounters with various enemies throughout the open world can be unforgiving, so too can be the choices that you make. As is joining none of them at all.Ĭhoices make up the brunt of the gameplay in Elex II. Joining any of the factions is a viable option to completing the main storyline and game. Being the game that it is though, how you choose to do so is completely up to you. A new threat of invasion is upon the world of Magalon and it is up to you to convince the world’s factions to unite for the greater good. You again take on the role of the previous protagonist, Jax, who has spent some years now out of the spotlight. If you haven’t played through the first game, I highly recommend you do so before playing this one. GameplayĮlex II is a direct sequel to the original Elex that released in October of 2017. Have you ever found yourself wondering what exactly you were missing from prior games? Let me know in the comments below.
Elex II definitely falls into that latter category of games.
Each you can pick up at any point along with the storyline but you would be doing yourself a favour to play prior games for a better understanding of what’s going on.
