Elex 2 in Preview: Many good ideas and a big problem

The spring of 2022 is packed with blockbusters, let each player with a huge pile of Shame burst into tears. For RPG fans still a heavyweight comes on top. Alex 2 the new project of the venerable RPG forge Piranha Bytes is to that even 20 years still enjoys a very good reputation with role players in Germany after her acclaimed role-playing games of the Gothic series.

The game will continue the way to the moderate success of the first part, which it has taken with fantasy and post-apocalyptic fiction. This involves problems of its predecessor and wants a deeper role-playing game with dense knitted content are. After many hours in the preview version, we can attest that the path is the right one, but we also see the danger of tripping over the pitfalls of the past.

make Group on itself

With pretty cutscenes Alex tried to stage his story better. Source: games.DE The hero of Alex has a problem that probably a lot of serious research in the real world also have: Since doing and doing it and discovered the big problem that threatens humanity only heard a no to.

After Tax mitbekommten at the end of Alex one that a huge threat to expect the world from Catalan, he goes to the floor leader of the guild, to prepare for it. But the scare him annoyed away again, because after all there are far more important things to do. For example, each hew the heads or other sophisticated things.

Resigned draws Tax, and hides in the mountains. But when a few years the threat actually arrives at the planet later, he sets out again, because solid arguments he has now. This story is Alex 2 (buy now) most chic scene.

The game uses only the first few hours already felt more scripted cutscenes than its predecessor in the entire game. Additionally, we are chic animated rendering sequences. Piranha Bytes puts over backwards to stage his story. Why this is a problem, we clarify the same.

An old bastion is used from the beginning as our headquarters. Source: games.DE This Tax not only to the other groups to leave, he just founded his own guild. One of the surprisingly cool features of the first part is in fact expanded and is from the outset present. In the first conversation, which is carried out in the game, the quest is about to put his own faction rolling.

As the site we choose an old castle ruins, and so that we can bring in good shape again, we are always hiring new people: a builder, keeps the houses repaired, or Commander of the strategies is to work out.

Unlike its predecessor, we do not get into an already existing camp, but our home is growing from an empty ruin to give a firm basis. This is a motivating element and was not in vain very popular in the predecessor. Here, just have to show how important the fortress later in still is.

Elex 2 | PREVIEW | Lots of good ideas, but one big problem

Guild choice

The Berserker has the fort in the desert Tatar cracked under the nail and transformed the desert into a thriving oasis. Source: games.DE But we all know since the Three Musketeers One for all and all for one!. So the other groups are of course also important. Although while we pull our own thing, we should join us for assistance also one of the existing guilds, and we work up.

Of which there are now five instead of the usual three on the world map. The latter is the way of known areas of Alex 1 and new country strokes. Thus, the Berserker took over the fort in the desert Tatar and abruptly conjured a thriving forest area from the dry wasteland — in the truest sense, because as early as the first part of the fraction is based on ancient weapons and magic.

The Mormons live in an underground facility where you and the pretty lighting effects can review. Source: games.DE The old men of the fort, the Outlaws were beaten while coming together in a crater city in the north but new and behave as ever: it is a rougher and anarchic bunch who mostly live in the dirt.

To defend oneself, they pump stems into the veins and make their weapons of scrap together. The clerics also celebrate a comeback. The fanatical God Warriors with a slope to the technology were expelled from their advanced hoard and form themselves again in an old castle ruin.

The old enemy of the first part is also back with it. Although the Albs continues to consume the emotional cold ALEX, they are far less deadly than before. Her fortress perched in a snowy north. Completely new is the political group of Mormon. They have born in front of the meteorite impact, which the world of ALEX has even crashed into a chaos at all, in a subterranean cave plant.

Only now do you open your grotto and bring the customer of your God over the world. They preach from a standstill and want nothing evolving. In particular, they use blood rituals and pain for their purposes, because in their opinion, death is the purest form of standstill.

How the character and combat system fails and what that is a big problem, you read on page 2!
