It's nothing like that, did you even view it?
I read the reviews. I also watched many of the YouTube pre-release gameplay videos. The videos are what prompted me to pre-order weeks ago.

The reviews sound like the usual piss-in-your-cornflakes variety.
"Oh, it sucks because I can't insta-kill anything/anyone I meet."

Gamereactor review describes and positively reviews the game, and in its concluding paragraph its mentions the technical issues and gives it a 6/10! Absolute grabage.
I did not see technical issues hindering reviewers giving Skyrim bright reviews and scores despite its awful technical issues at launch, nor Mass Effect: Andromeda or .. <insert AAA crap title>.
I expect the usual poor to mediocre reviews with the same complaints as PB's last 3 games at least, if not also adding in the first 2 Gothics. It shouldn't surprise anyone. PB makes their style of RPG and says "sales and mainstream appeal be damned." It works for them and the core fans and I'm glad they are one of the few left doing this type of style of RPG.
I can't think of any other new releases right now that are as interesting as ELEX. (I'm not interested in DOS2 after playing DOS1.) ELEX does have a lot of cheese in it though, so it might be one of those "It's so awful it's good!" games.
You really should give DOS2 a try, it is way better then 1.
I agree with this. I got bored with DOS1 after a dozen or so hours but DOS2 is still enjoyable for me after several dozen hours so far. The story is much better.
Metacritic already has 8 reviews up for ELEX so far (all non-English besides the ones posted here). Current score 73…
Please comment a lot on the exploration, which is the reason why I fell in love with Gothic 2, there was nothing else even remotely redeemable in that game except for exploration but it was enough to cover all the sins of the other elements and make a great game.
Is it me or the patch is addressing exactly what (at least a few I've read) reviews stated as problematic?PB games will always be given the benefit of the doubt, for me anyways. Glad it is released. A patch or two and i am in !
Day one patch is ready for release.

Combat flashed nobody, so I'm a bit sceptical there.
