What is ELEX?
ELEX is a third-person, open-world action RPG set on post-apocalyptic Magalan. You explore with a jetpack, take quests, make choices, and fight mutated creatures with melee and ranged weapons as groups battle over a resource that grants powers but dulls emotion.

- +you enjoy RPG quests shaped by your choices
- +you like starting weak and gradually growing stronger
Not for you if...
- −you prefer linear adventures to open-world wandering
- −you want a relaxed early game with easy fights
