Elex 2 20216/5/2023 Characters in conversation are animated and emote like a broomstick leaning against a wall, occasionally shifting in a breeze when they need to do something very specific. It genuinely feels or at least creates a believable illusion, that the world perceives you and your actions, with most NPCs’ (especially your companions’) affection towards you being able to be shifted between hatred and adoring love.Ī fair warning though, there is a stiltedness and flat delivery of a lot of the voice acting. Examples like walking with companions to their quests instead of fast traveling or closing a door during a break & enter give this mystique of the game testing you at every turn reminding you that it isn’t strictly your dialogue or faction choice dictate the outcomes. Now while this sounds like every videogame plot ever, and it is, it’s the incorporation of player-choice that uplifts it in an unexpected way.Īt both a macro and micro level, Elex II shines brightest when it’s bonking you on the head with consequences for some of the most innocuous decisions you make. With it comes an enormous world and story that has you, Jax, a gruff, bland, and stereotypical protagonist from a bygone era trying to prevent Magalan from being colonised by a race of cosmic beings called forth at the end of the previous game. One that is surprisingly mostly killer and rarely filler.
