ELEX II looks every part the modern open-wor💦ld game. Beneath its impressive veneer however, it's a complex RPG that will be familiar to those who have played the developer's past games, but maybe daunting for those used to more formulaic open-world games with map markers, simple progr🐷ession systems, and conveniently level-scaled worlds.

ELEX II isn't a game that holds your hand, so we're here to - if not h🍸old your hand - at least send you off on some training wheels with these five tꦡips.

Don't try to win every fight

You'll probably realise this the hard way after getting one-shotted by a troll you tried attacking with a lead pipe, but ELEX II's w𒈔orld doesn't scale with you; there are weaker enemies wherever you go, and there are tougher ones, and yo🧸u should assess each one from afar before deciding your approach.
