You shape Jax’s character with the dialogue decisions you make but, at least in the low destruction path that I took, that doesn’t change him much past his gritty emotionless war hero. In the time between the last game and this one, Jax is married and even has a child, though he is estranged from both as the game starts. The game takes place a few years after its predecessor and follows Jax, a war hero whose efforts to warn everyone about forthcoming dangers have fallen on deaf ears. The first, are those who didn’t know what eurojank meant until this introduction, and the second, are those who are already fans of the genre.ĮLEX II from Piranha Bytes is a sequel to the 2017 vintage open-world RPG called ELEX. Though I knew little about the game or its niche genre when I stepped foot on Magalan, after over 20 hours into my playthrough and several more spent browsing related webpages, I have come to realize that this review has to address two separate audiences. A step into the latest game from a developer behind Gothic one of the most famous “eurojank” games ever made. For me, as someone who has not played the first game, going into ELEX II was a journey into the unknown. It’s that very same community that made the original ELEX sort of a cult hit. Players who see the game’s bugs as charming and ones who accept the technical shortcomings as part of the package deal.
(Which was coincidentally also published by THQ Nordic.) At first glance, it may sound almost offensive to use the term, however, there is a niche audience that really adores games in this genre.
And, interestingly enough, last year we actually covered a game that fits that description called Biomutant. That’s a new word I learned since I started playing ELEX II and, in my understanding, it refers to AA games that are as ambitious as AAA titles but without the budget.
