I even saw better stuff in other janky games from Spiders (Mars, or Technomancer) more than in ELEX so far... You just described every PB game after Gothic 2. I realize it is not a game for everyone, but I always can see what developers did good even though I don't end up liking it, but in case of ELEX, I keep seeing praise from lot of people, but I have yet to see single good redeeming quality.. I've enjoyed talking to characters finding stuff out about them etc. In the beginning of the game this attribute is at neutral level.

Umm, what? Maybe you should play more than just a few hours before judging character progression, it makes you look dumb for people who actually played the game. I will say the voice acting isn’t bad, but certainly it’s extremely limited as I think only a handful of voice actors did all the voices. An example of that situation is presented in the picture - the only available lines are no.1 (for a hero with low Cold) and 2 (neutral dialog line) while the line no.3 (for a hero with high Cold) is blocked. The history and meaning of the name Elex is fascinating, learn more about it. I like the game but I do question the wisdom of creating an interesting world with an engaging story that can only be explored by sprinting and jetpacking away from near instant death for the first 20 hours or so. Overall, since you're exactly at level 10 with only 10 hours playtime - you're basically at the point where the game starts to show it's strength and you leave behind that wall you have to break at first to really enjoy it. Yet you, describe it as empty and void of meaningful details? He is a slave of the questmarker. The world, characters, their motivations all feel real and relate able to me. I realize it may not be my cup of tea, but I usually can at least see the potential or good ideas in games...But ELEX so far was so underwhelming...I would say it is as mediocre as it can get... Animations are bad both in and out of combat (feels bad and provides zero player feedback like if hits connect etc.). Sorry if this post seemed like I am hating on the game. Over time you get certain skills that form a good combination. Instead, we recommend that you pay a greater attention to the origin and meaning of the name Elex.

There's few of the abilities that unlock core gameplay elements like stealing , lockpicking but other than that most abilities are very passive. For all it's problems I still find at times I am enamored with it, much like I was when experiencing other solid open world rpgs that have good depth such as oblivon, morrowind, witcher series etc.
