Most of reviews are heavily based on tastes. Sadly, reviewing games is a job, so reviewers are paid to write reviews, not to find out if you can have fun in games. People have to some degree understand what game is to have fun with it, and most people have completely different approach: if game isn't something they want to play at this moment, they will hate it. What most people doesn't seem to understand is that there is no game that can possibly be good at everything. PB with their 26 people wouldn't be able to compete with developers that hire 1500 people even if they wanted to, so of course it would be extremely easy to find out many things that are done worse than biggest titles. Most reviews aren't about finding what games are good at, but are about finding what is done worse than in other games. I think it is more about constructive criticism. But it definitely deserves the score it got on Steam (around 72-75%) and it definitely deserves the criticism, because even though the game can be really enjoyable it has serious flaws that to this day hasn't been fixed. It's like when you go to some niche subreddit of some game that's absolute disaster and even though it has the worst reviews, everyone in that subreddit tells you it has bad reviews because no one understands the game and the reviews are written by trolls. You basicaly say people should disregard all reviews except the few reviews by PB fans (that are much more prone to bias) that will be positive. I agree with you that there are usually some straight up trash reviews, but your whole post and especially this last sentence feels a little bit manipulative to be honest. Regardless though, just don't bet on seeing any review that actually gives a proper impression of what the game is like, save for the inevitable few outliers who tend to be fans of PB themselves. ![]() The first game isn't perfect by any means, and the second game will probably have its flaws as well. ![]() Lots of reviews are just clearly biased towards mainstream rpgs, some of them even outright making the claim that Elex didn't achieve any of the ambitions the devs were aiming for and is going to go down in history as a game that could've been good but failed in every way, and it's probably not getting a sequel this time guys trust me. Reading through the old reviews of the first game generally makes me cringe. ![]() There's always something, wether it's a critic complaining that the combat doesn't compete with Dark Souls or that the world isn't as big as Skyrim, but they generally get a bad review on the basis that they're not the best at any aspect in particular. In order to defend the peace on Magalan and the safety of his own family, Jax has to go on a mission to convince the factions to unite against the invaders and find his own son, Dex, who got separated from him …ĭive into a huge, hand-crafted, completely unique world with multiple factions and diverse environments set in a post-apocalyptic science fantasy universe.If there's ever something you want to win a bet on, it's that PB games will be trashed and tossed aside as "bad but the effort is cute" rpgs on release by most game critics. Several years after Jax defeated the Hybrid, a new threat arrives from the sky, unleashing the dangerous powers of dark Elex and endangering all life on the planet.
