What I said wasn't sarcasm in the slightest. All those issues are present in the game and are bad. What you were missing was the context.

I mean I have been raving about Gothic and ELEX enough in this thread and how much I love the series despite its flaws. I have said over and over again how world building and freedom are the most important aspect to me in open world games and that nobody does it better than Piranha Bytes. So when I say that ELEX has the exact same flaws as Gothic and the exact same strengths as Gothic of course that is a very positive assessment. You just took it as negative because you didn't think about the context.

Why do I have the impression that we're running in circles?

Anyway, my original comment wasn't directed to this review in particular, but to what you put on your post and what happens every now and then with reviewers. So let me ask this: does the review say, in your exact words, "Horrible battle mechanics, janky animations, loads of bugs and the best RPG world anyone has ever seen"?

Because if they haven't, and that is simply your conclusions (exaggerated or not) on to what that review says about ELEX, then we're wasting our time.

By the way, I already knew that you were looking forward to this game, just like you're also looking forward to Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

Of course a professional review doesn't say it that way. Because in a way, a reviewer who enjoyed a game will make sure to recommend it as best as possible while still mentioning the flaws, because that is his job. I don't need it to recommend to anyone so I can be more frank.

Maybe the bug part was abit overexaggerated. After playing for 5h I found nothing game breaking and just one bug during combat in a specific circumstance. Though there are also a lot of small issues I didn't mention.
