Piranha Bytes’ Last Dance What I always liked about Piranha Bytes games, like the ELEX games in particular, is how unique they are. The kind of RPGs that almost nobody else even tries to make anymore. Minimum hand-holding, no cinematic rails, just a hostile world that doesn't give a damn about you until you earn your place in it. Factions really matter, choices can block content, and progression feels earned, not given. While the jank is real, so is the sense of ownership over your journey. ELEX II feels more like an old school RPG mixed with weird ideas that no other studio dares to try. It’s flawed, sometimes frustrating, but deeply authentic. ELEX II is a farewell to a special kind of RPG that we may never see again.

Here’s how ELEX sets up the scene for Gothic and explains the origin of several things: • The Berserkers won the war between factions, restored the natural balance of the world using world seeds, and abolished the use of technology. That’s why we don’t see any technological leftovers in Gothic (except one). • Remember that rusty car frame in Yarkendar? Now you know why it’s there. • Magic ore is actually elex deposits. Even the color is the same. • The Berserkers knew how to process elex and create mana from it. The mages in Gothic are their descendants. …Or at least this all could have been true if Piranha Bytes had retained the rights to the Gothic franchise — rights they lost before developing ELEX.

ELEX. What can i say. It's a very specific and unique type of game that is going to only appeal to certain people. First you have to be a fan of the Euro Jank. It's something i absolutely adore in games. I have no idea why. Maybe because it reminds me of games i played when i was younger and before game budgets were spent on visuals and animation instead of actual gameplay and story. Or maybe its because its not trying to be cinematic or realistic. It's just trying to tell an interesting story and offer the player a decent adventure and RPG experience. If you played ELEX then this is the same but better across the board.

Elex II was a great game. I played the 78 hours straight, meaning no other distractions apart from work and family life. I really love these kinds of games. In other reviews I read the fighting was lousy implemented, but even at Strength level 107, I could still be killed if I didn't pay attention. I never really felt overpowered. The first chapter took me 40 hours with real interesting quests and the story line was very immersive that I didn't want to skip it. Not many games are like that. The last 2 chapters could have been better. There was a lot of boring fighting, having to kill 20 or so aliens per quest. I think that could have been done differently. Otherwise it was a great game that brought a lot of joy and I recommend this game to any RPG lover.

Definitely not a game that a company should have gone under upon releasing it. Very very very good Piranha Bytes-style CRPG, exploration is among the best you'll find in the genre, a truly huge map to explore that is densely packed with goodies and hidden caches, so much content and Skills and LOOT and... well you get the idea. Top shelf CRPG if you ask me but I'm just a nobody who loves RPGs... RIP PB Long Live Piranha Bytes and greatly looking forward to their new work as Pithead, which the owners of PB put together as a new dev studio. Cheers guys thanks for reading! P.S. Should also make a comment about the Bestiary in the game, soooo freaking cool, not only the actual text-based Bestiary which describes all the monsters, but the huge variety of creatures in the game to discover and fight against, really remarkable stuff they pulled off there and makes the open-world a real joy to explore. Def had to mention that!
