The Good:
Amazing graphics
Graphics aren't relevant to me in an RPG but amazing graphics? Come on just look at those horrid meshes. Trees have like 2 polygons. Game looks okay but nothing special.
Moderately non-linear and highly replayable
OK
large, well designed open world
OK
Tons of choice & consequence
Maybe not "tons" but OK
A fun twist on the cliched post-apocalyptic style
Lumping a bunch of stuff together like dinosaurs/lasers/mecha/swords without any adhesive character isn't really a "fun twist" to me but whatever. Would have made a great 80s RPG in the vein of Kung Fury.
Lots of tactics to employ in combat makes late game battles very enjoyable
Lmao what?
The Bad:
Spend the first half of the game relatively under-powered
That's not a flaw at all. This guy cannot even tell the different between good and bad /facepalm
Combat can be awkward at times, requires lots of patience and practice
OK
The Verdict: 9
9/10 is a little generous. I remember how gaming magazines in the 90s (when there was barely any internet) were super-conservative with ratings. 10s were practically non-existent and were just a theoretical threshold while only the best of the best games like BG2 got 9s. ELEX is not the best of the best. This guy is another Fluent-level journeyman who wanted to like this game too much and got a little too excited. Move on peoples.
