Although, the lip-syncing is significantly improved alongside good voice-work. They look and feel more like a mannequin than ever before. Character models received a noticeable downgrade especially when it comes to their faces. It’s not bad by any means, although it’s not anything breathtaking.
ELEX 2 HAND POISON SWORD UPGRADE
Textures only really have a slight upgrade from the first game, four years ago. The game’s presentation is a bit of a mixed bag. The open world is huge in which you can run through without a single loading screen in sight. One Step Forward, Maybe A Couple More BackĪfter going through the initial area, Elex 2’s Magalan opens up for the player to explore wherever they want, whenever they want. That Piranha Bytes games have so much charm and things to love amidst the problematic aspects of each title. Right then and there, I was already thinking of giving up on the game, but then I kept seeing all this praise about the first Elex saying it’s one of their favorite old-style modern released RPGs. This will happen constantly throughout the game. This devolves into nothing more than an occasional blue light flashing on-screen coupled with a sound that is a mix between an upset stomach because of hunger, and one that you would hear on a toilet. There is something that happens to Jax in the game’s opening that infects him with something throughout the story. This is your friendly neighborhood headphone warning. Pre-rendered cutscene audio, on the other hand, is in a different league. Normal gameplay has really loud sound effects and music that I immediately suggest turning both down to 60% and 70% respectively. This is your head’s up that the Elex 2’s audio mixing is laughably bad. The first one I already described, but the second one comes out of nowhere so incredibly fast that it might as well be a jumpscare. More on that later.īefore anything else, I should probably warn you that the opening features two pre-rendered cutscenes. And you will need to level up a lot in order to use better equipment. You will eventually obtain ranged weapons and magic, but it is all hampered by an unforgiving starting difficulty that makes it harder to level up. It is as bare-bones as I have described it. It was also the time I told myself “oh no.”Ĭombat only really involves a dodge, one attack button which you can either press for a light attack or hold for a heavy attack, a shield/ parry, and healing through potions or food. Here, the game teaches you about combat, exploration, looting, and healing. The next thing I knew, I was in one of the most generic-looking forest areas pushing forward with nothing but a broken pipe as a weapon (get comfy with this pipe you’ll be using it for a while).
