Elex,

how to start a review?
I´m nearly 10 hours in, so i have only grasp the game.
But i want to make this review.

I have played all Gothic and Risen games ( I LOVED Gothic 1,2 and 3 and Risen 1).
The world, the setting, the edgy characters, the level design and the difficulty.
So i had mixed feelings about a "Fallout" like designed gameworld.
But boy, this game is a jewel. It makes fun to play, the start is hard and you get
only a view instructions an then you play. You have the choice! Going with a
follower to the next bigger Town? you can do this!
Go on your own, make what you want from the very beginning!
I love this concept, so many posibilities!

Grafik:
Some say:"Grafik-textures not good" but 10 hours in, i don´t think it is a big deal,
if the only point of a game is good grafiks, a game sucks. Elex might not have the best
AAA grafik, but it does not need it! Grafik is good as it is!

Combat:
One word descrips it perfect: Challanging. Some say "it is difficult". But it is compareable to
DarkSouls - if you know the enemies pattern and know how you attack it is not a problem and the more i play, the more i like it. It makes the game "fair".

World:
The world is big, i am 10 hours in and havent explored a quarter of it (more like 1/10 or less) and even if i go the same ways
there is something knew to explore! I like the concept of hard enemys from the start, this is true immersion, you have to get stronger to go to some areas.

Story:
Can´t say anything to it, because i only made side-quests.

10/10 - I get the old Gothic feeling and i will play it more than one run!
