Hey guys, so I kinda missed out on playing ELEX, even though its exactly my kinda of scifi-esque open world adventure and of course, thanks to ELEX II, which looks even better - I'm thinking about jumping into ELEX 1 then grabbing a copy of II.



Has anyone played this? Im probably gonna start it on PS4 (played on PS5). Kinda wan't to know the amount of hours to expect and if there are any do's and dont re the gameplay

@Tex - I'm a fan of the first but I have plenty of tolerance for eurojank games and their flaws. Given the narrative trailers I've seen, playing the first won't be vital (time has passed, factions leaders have changed, Jax has lost most of his abilities), but the ending and one important companion quest tie directly into the events of the sequel.

Just go in forewarned that the world design is dated and the lack of quest difficulty indicators unforgiving. It's a game in which you need to feel your way across the world, avoiding most creatures at first, slowly building up your skills and gear until you're powerful enough to steamroll anything. That said, in classic Pirahna Bytes' style, you can cheese or exploit some tough encounters to get your hands on fantastic gear early on (if you've got the patience).

Some spoiler-ish advice - follow the main quest from Goliet north to the Domed City ASAP for a half-decent difficulty curve and some good gear.

Thanks Lurch! I think both you and I have a thing for "euro-jank" RPGs, and I must say I'm really looking forward to playing this. I'm presently playing kingdom come deliverence and I've been super impressed by the intricacy of the medieval world and rpg mechanics. It's a slow burn rpg, but very rewarding so far!
