Elex 2 ps4 Ps4#

Charge attacks do not lock on and basically miss as long as you move. Enemies hit quickly and often get in random cheap shots due to being locked on. Attack a few times, walk away, and watch the enemy charge at thin air.īoth you and the enemy have access to quick attacks as well as charge attacks, but quick attacks don’t do anywhere near as much damage. This works well enough because enemy AI lacks the kind of sophistication to require deep understanding of combat mechanics. Character movement requires a little timing just because all actions take extra time. Unfortunately, though, kinky hair looks just detached like a wig, a far-too-common casualty to character design.Ĭombat is clunky, plain and simple.

At the same time, straight and curly hair looks hi-res and defined.

While they look clean and well defined, they look more like remastered PS3-grade models than something more commonly found on PS4 even. On the topic of payoff, another cost to the fantastic natural lighting is character models. This side of the game could have been ironed out far better, but the payoff is still worth the cost, in my opinion. When you open the menu, the world still doesn’t pause, which drops performance even further. When you get to more densely populated areas, however, that frame rate halves. Oftentimes, the rate sits around 30 frames or so, which is easy enough to get used to. The payoff for this vibrant presentation comes at the cost of frame rate. Even though the ground textures are hit and miss, the foliage shares similar movement with the wind just like the trees do. Each leaf on trees is clearly defined on the ground, even when the wind blows. One last warning, the game isn't easy if you buy this game expecting it to be a walk in the park then you will be disappointed.Going back to the map aesthetic, I get blown away regularly by how the natural lighting delivers shadows. Overall, if you are a fan of open world action RPG games then this is a must have game. Choices in this game whether they are action or in dialogues do really matter and have real consequences which gives the incentive for multiple playthroughs.

Whilst it is massively improved compared to the first game, the combat is still a little bit clunky and can be brutally unfair at times but still with levelling up gets much better. The RPG elements in the game are top tier and that is where PB really shines, there is an array of weapons, items, tools, materials, scrap and nothing feels like a waste, everything can be used and if not used can be sold for shards. The world is vast and exploration is a real joy in Elex 2, it really is impressive how open the world is in Elex 2, I found myself pushing to the borders trying to reach the limits of the map. I was a little worried when they listed some of the improvements in Elex 2 but now that I played I can safely say that it is a true gem, I'm not going to say a masterpiece. I spent nearly 185h exploring the world of Elex and it was worth every penny I spent on it. I am a big fan of Piranha Bytes games, played Gothic 1, 2 and 3 and played Elex.
