"ELEX II" Review --GAME Watch

THQ Nordic Japan will release the science fiction fantasy open world "ELEX II" on March 1, 2022. Developed by Piranha Bytes. As the name implies, "ELEX II" is a sequel to "ELEX" released in 2017. Since the previous work "ELEX" has not been released in Japan and is not compatible with Japanese, many people may have heard of the series for the first time in this sequel.

The action aspect of this work is that it is equipped with a "jet pack" that can fly in the sky as standard equipment. Although not unlimited, the main character, Jacks, can fly in the sky, prevent him from falling from high places, and can come and go to various places even from the beginning.

Also, as the name of SF fantasy, the main character Jacks can use modern weapons such as handguns and shotguns, as well as SF weapons such as laser guns and plasma cannons, in addition to weapons such as swords, axes and bows and arrows, as well as magic. It is also possible to learn and use, and one of the charms of this work is that the range of role play is very wide.

In addition, many NPCs with a strong habit of having a pretty keen taste have appeared, and the atmosphere of conversation is also very unique, so when you play, you can feel like you are playing MMORPG a little while ago. In addition, there are many items that can be picked up and reused in the field, such as junk and flowers, and there is also a taste of collecting junk like the "Fallout" series. There are many things you can do, and you can sit down and enjoy playing.

This time, I would like to introduce the play feeling of such "ELEX II". Since this is a review version, it may differ from the actual product version.

By the way, the PC version of "ELEX" can still be purchased on Steam. Although it is unofficial, there is also a Japanese patch prepared by volunteers, and if you are interested, I recommend you to play this as well. In addition, even if you do not play the previous work, there is not much hindrance to the play of this work where another story develops. It is made so that you can fully enjoy it with just "ELEX II".
