A new alien menace threatens all of them, so we’re re-introduced to Jax, who now has to try and unite all these factions in order to fight an enemy that threatens them all. Since then, as in any good post-apocalyptic world, factions started to form, each with their own focal points – be it dark magic or technology.
Narratively, Elex II takes place hundreds of years after a near-total apocalypse that almost wiped out the humans living in this fantasy world. If you mainly enjoy your RPGs for its narrative and rich world-building element, then Elex II has that in spades as well – though you have to get past some of the rougher gameplay elements to enjoy it (and having played the first Elex helps). In a genre where many games play it safe, we rather enjoy stuff like that. That results in it being a bit rough around the edges in places, but also something that lets you jetpack around a fantasy combat sequence. Part of the reason for that is that Elex II dares to be a bit different from other games. And although Elex II might lack the polish and shine of other open world RPG games, we enjoyed our time with it. The sequel announcement wasn’t entirely unexpected though, as Piranha Bytes has a knack of making them for their franchises – Gothic and Risen followed a similar path. The first ELEX launched back in 2017 to a somewhat lukewarm reception, and became a bit of a niche hit. One of the first to launch if the long-awaited sequel ELEX II from Piranha Bytes, which is being published by THQ Nordic and marks the next-gen debut for the developer and franchise.
