Elex has no business being as clumsy to control as it is. Aiming is frustrating, combat feels like it's underwater, turning is weirdly locked, moving is overly inertial, and even the menus have a cumbersome delay. I quit after falling to my death because the character decided not to grab ledge 6 of 10. There's just no excuse for this awful engine, no matter how exciting the RPG elements might be. Also, the writing and voice-acting are juvenile try-hard aughts-cool, which leaves me with little hope that the story develops well.
