Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1.43/day in the week to Aug 7 → 1.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Вот отредактированный вариант текста. Я сохранил ваш живой, эмоциональный стиль, но исправил грамматику, пунктуацию и логику повествования, разбив текст на абзацы для удобства чтения. Начну с того, что купил эту игру, потому что меня окончательно достала магия и всё, что с ней связано. И тут я вижу этот проект: думаю, да это же «Готика» с пушками! Начну с **минусов**. **Первое** — боевая система. Она очень сильно смахивает на серию Dark Souls. **Второе** — враги. Проблема в том, что в начале ты вообще не понимаешь, кого стоит бояться, а кого можно завалить. Только после вступления во фракцию я начал более-менее разбираться, но это оказалось долго и смертельно опасно: один удар — и ты труп. Плюс ко всему — напрочь сломанный баланс. Загвоздка в том, что игра никак не предупреждает: по силам ли тебе взятое задание с твоим текущим снаряжением и уровнем. Из-за этого выходят абсурдные ситуации. Чтобы вступить во фракцию, тебе нужно победить чуть ли не ультра-монстра, а чтобы просто получить новое звание — нужно разнести ЕДУ! ЕДУ, КАРЛ! Теперь перейдём к **плюсам**. Атмосфера и виды — это кайф для такого любителя побродить и исследовать, как я. Где бы я ни успел побывать, везде меня ждало маленькое, но интересное приключение. И сколько ещё загадок впереди! Разнообразие тоже радует: вот тебе берсерки, вот изгои, вот клирики. У каждой фракции есть свои плюсы и минусы. Отдельно про квесты: да, персонажи тут не особо запоминаются, но вот задания — это нечто. Ситуация как в Скайриме: все забивают на основной сюжет и уходят в дополнительные линии. В общем, вот мой обзор. Честно признаюсь: я игру так и не прошёл. Уж слишком я люблю в ней исследовать мир, поэтому застрял где-то в середине первой главы.

Im sorry guys I just cannot recomend this game. I have had it for a few years now and I just dont know how I am going to play a 27 hour story with this when the combat is way to clunky, I cannot move the character very well (ex - I was running from guys, went for a second to pick up a medicinal herb so i dont die, and while that should take half a second instead it takes the character like 2 full seconds, just to turn around and try to take plant) The list goes on and on, I want to like it but while the ideas are good, if playing the game even so much as walking or combat..basic stuff is so hard...theres no point in playing. If you are going to have 'dark souls' combat, then it needs to be tight...I cant even fight any thing because its just so clunky. Its been years and the same is still not finished. So sorry. this game is no good.
The beginning of Elex is traditionally hard and even frustrating just like in the older Piranha Bytes game series Gothic and Risen. But over time you rise slowly in the rank, get stronger and establish an increasingly sovereign gameplay. The world is huge (the biggest since Gothic 3) and varied and there is very much to explore and numerous quests to master. All in all Elex offers 80 hours+ of challenging gameplay in a new setting but with many traditional weaknesses of Piranha Bytes games (especially the fighting system). My overall impression is positive and I would rate it with 7,5 of 10.
The only reason I haven’t played good games in recent years is stupid reviews on steam. Seeing “mixed” and “mostly positive” meant a “bad” game for me. Do yourself a favor and ignore steam reviews. Elex and games like it are games with soul. It’s rare to find good open world rpgs with meaningful exploration, dialogues and quests. The world here is vast with lore and many things to see. It is a flawed game? Yes it is, just like with all good games, there are flaws. In order to have a game that deserves your time, you need to have developers that try new things and don’t hang on ancient series. Yes the formula is like Gothic but it is not Gothic or Risen, It’s is own game. As for the gameplay itself. It’s really hard. You will get eater, kills and you will die for most of the game until you understand where you need to be. You will take your time with it to explore and win little fights. Slowly you will find what works for you. Try different methods and end up being a god that can take the whole map. Can you abuse the system? I bet you can. But that is what makes it fun. They is not hand holding here and you have to discover everything for yourself. So when you are able to abuse the system it feels rewarding and not “cheating”. It’s not a sterile experience like all the AAA games you’re used to. Again, the game is not perfect. But you can sink in many many hours with a minimum of 3 play through to I think. It’s totally worth it,
Игра — средняк для тех фанатов, Что от любви придурковаты. Не радовался я в «Элексе» — Намного лучше в пляске флексить. Но я пришёл не танцпол — Домой я поиграть пришёл, А здесь подсунули мне лажу. Дepьмoм создателей обмажу, Чтоб каждый знал и каждый видел: Вот мирового рынка лидер. Подумай, кто твои кумиры, Кто яму в русских душах вырыл И там засел, монет алкая, Пacкyдa гадкая такая, И кто былую славу доит. Неприхотливый комиксоид, Любитель мемчиков и пупов, Я декларирую: зaлyпa. Её целуй, уж коли геец, А коли натурал (надеюсь), Отринь, возврат скорей оформи: Пиявку кровь любая кормит; Пускай отвалится от кожи. Тебе лишь трезвый ум поможет.
[h3] Постапокалиптическая сага для любителей RPG да и в целом игр от Piranha Bytes. [/h3] [list] [*]Мир интересно исследовать [*]Боёвка не наскучит [*]Квестов полно, без подай и принеси не обойдётся, но это подталкивает вас на путешествие и исследование мира [*]Есть телепорты, которые нужно активировать посетив их [/list] Рекомендую, это первая игра, которую я прошёл от этих разработчиков. Может теперь смогу осилить серию Risen, Arcania и Gothic.
I’m fed up with this game. Because of a bug, I had to kill an NPC named Zerwas (“Betraying the Iron Clan”) just to move the story forward. After searching the map for 2 hours trying to find him, I gave up. The game really pulled me in, even though the combat is stiff, dodging and movement feel terrible, and overall it’s quite clunky — but this was the breaking point for me. Overall, I’d rate the game 6/10, but this issue is unacceptable. I ended up watching the ending on YouTube, and I’m not coming back to this game. In general, I wouldn’t recommend it — maybe just check it out as a curiosity.
Story sucks and didn't care about it at all, however, I found the game to be addictive and relaxing to go through without craving too much focus. In all ways better than the sequel.
Enjoyed this game quite a bit. Everything does not just go the way you think it will, Your choices matter. Good voice acting and writing.
блин, зачем я это прошёл, не понимаю, наверное чисто из уважения что ли к разрабам и к готике 2, элекс 2 лесом
