Wow, this one slipped under the radar, didn't it? An ambitious project from the developer behind the rather crap Risen series [we actually heard reviewer Alex Stinton scream just then - Ed], ELEX was announced quite a while back, and we honestly forgot that it was out this month. And by this month, we mean tomorrow, the 17th October.
Obviously, that means we don't have review code, and we have no idea whether other publications have got their hands on the game yet either. Still, we'll be keeping an eye on this one to see whether it delivers. Here's hoping that the finished product matches the vision.
Are you interested in ELEX? Don't be afraid to admit that you completely forgot about it in the comments section below.

Any game which apparently allows me to fly around via fart power is A-OK in my book.
I honestly don't know how mid-tier studios manage to survive this generation. Between indie titles and actual AAA heavy-hitters, who really favours this type of effort? Must be real tough for the developers to even capture people's attention.
The concept looks interesting, I will check for more details, but is it a good idea to release In October and on the same day of Gran Turismo and South Park?
i can honestly say this didn't slip under my Radar!
However, it was never on it in the first place!!!
Its not exactly done anything thus far to force its way onto my 'wanted' list

HEH HEH HEH
The combat in this game looks like something you'd see in an MMO or one of those boring Early Access survival games. Not very impressed.
Maybe the story and characters can save it.
@fchinaski My thoughts exactly as soon as read the article.
PSLS gave this a 5/10.
So it's off to a promising start.
Wow that game that was announced on the E3 conference? Anthem? Oh wait...it's not! Meh x)
@Eternallover21 Not the only one but I can see it's an average game with major flows. I will get it eventually mind you. But I'll wait for the usual patches first. It will be on discount by Christmas.
LOL, makes Destiny 2 look like Game of the Year. Can't believe people are still making this last gen stuff.
Will play the heck out of this once it's on sale for $7.99
Eurogamer.it gave this a 5/10. Game still bugged even after 5gb of patches...
Looks like The Technomancer 2.
Looks incredibly janky
There's a giant robot fight tomorrow too.
Like, real, actual Giant Robots are going to fight on October 17th and that completely seems to be flying under the radar. Team USA's "Eagle Prime" vs Team Japan's "Kuratas MK2".
There must be something about this date that is just... letting news go undetected.
I played through Bound By Flame twice so maybe this will seem okay.
Not interested at all even if it was free on PS+ wouldn't download it.
Please review this game, Im really want to play it just can't afford at the moment, doesn't seem to be much new game play out there yet
As a fan of Gothic 1 + 2, which are two of my favorite games of all time. I did have Elex on my radar hoping this game would give me a feeling of something special that the two Gothic games had given me so long ago...
I missed the risen series as Im not a big fan of pirate based games... (played assassins creed up to 3) so I do not know about them. However if anyone hasn't played Gothic I would advise it to anyone.
@Eternallover21
To say it all I bought it today. Eventually I ll wait for the patches if any and play in a month or so. As you say support developers day one especially small ones
