Elex 2 Review - IGN

Elex 2 is living in a janky Euro RPG past that its closest peers have nearly all transcended by now.

It does look really bad/

I don't know how they released this game. It looks like their first internal Alpha.

lonewolf101150d ago

It is not that bad, if you are a fan of Gothic/Risen you will be happy it is better looking/controlling than the original. Saying that PB need to stop relying on the fans mentioned and do something about tidying up their games before they are released.

pietro12121151d ago

Looks pretty mediocre and what’s up with that frame rate

jznrpg1148d ago

I’ll get it for my collection but I’m not sure I’ll play it just like I didn’t play the first one . I’ll wait for the price to drop a little though . It looks decent but it great .

WayTooManyGames' Top 20 Worst Games of 2022

WTMG's Leo Faria: "You know what? I’m not even mad this time around. I’ve stated already that 2022 was actually a pretty good year for gaming. It was stupidly hard removing so many excellent games from out Top 20 list, to the point we had an entire 20-game list of honorable mentions alone. Likewise, we didn’t review such a huge number of bad games this year. It’s not that we weren’t reviewing enough games (have you read the site’s name?), there just weren’t that many stinkers in this otherwise fantastic year.

But boy oh boy, when something bad knocked at our door, it was bad. It was really B to the A to the freaking D. It’s time for our team to bury these games once and for all. We present you, the twenty worst games we’ve reviewed in 2022."

Lol, I like this idea of an anti GOTY award :p

And my god, there are some terrible entries there.

Kirby’s Dream Buffet

Good to see Nintendo isn't above well deserved criticism.

I dont know if Gun Grave deserves to be in the same mix as the others on the list. Its rather safe but it has its charm. As a fan of the originals, I can dig it. Im not seeing it as something revolutionary but evolutionary, hence why I said safe (as in it didnt take many risks to stray from the source). Its okay, but nowhere near being on the list of worst.

I found the same with one, bad or mediocre reviews, absolutely awesome game couldnt put it down. Havnt tried two yet, but when im in an RPG mood again, its what im getting for sure

neutralgamer1992921d ago

Only embracer group are funding AA games and we need more mid size games with medium budget

Chance_of_Raine921d ago

The original and the sequel are games worth playing. Sure, they're janky, but there's some real love in the games if you care to take the time. <3

RavenWolfx920d ago

I played this at launch (GameFly'ed it) and it was pretty meh. Glitches and a story cinematic that has nothing to do with what just happened in the story (that was confusing, like out of order or something), I played maybe an hour and sent it back. Maybe it isn't as bad now, assuming it has been patched some.

FTLmaster920d ago

Aye, I think the new patches may've ironed out some of the rougher edges.
