well, mixed to not great, I suppose would be the frank way of putting it. It's easily the strongest aspect of Elex, along with that Bethesda open-world model where heading off in any direction is bound to offer an intoxicating mix of discovery and danger.

It plays in the same speculative fiction pool as those with other similar eerie extra-terrestrial blue substances - The Expanse novels and TV show or the Metroid Prime trilogy coming to mind first and foremost - while also having fun with a Horizon-style post-apocalyptic setting filled with artifacts and mysteries of the 'Old World' (which, to reiterate, isn't modern day Earth but a close approximation called Magalan) for the curious to find and learn from, provided they can evade or eliminate the nearby beasties. For all its borrowing, I still think there's a kernel of an original idea behind the worldbuilding of Elex: that a ruined planet is suddenly filled with this unknowable alien element open to ruthless exploitation and experimentation that, as the finale of this game alludes to, is possibly even more dangerous than anyone realizes. Last month proffered something of an aperitif on Elex, describing the manner of oblique backstory that allows it to be the bastard child of three completely disparate open-world RPG franchises ( Skyrim, Fallout, and Destiny). What sort of final list placements await them? Read on. That's why August might have to be the month where I invoke the biggest GOTY contender I have left, so look forward to that.Д«efore then, though, we've got a trio of dubious contestants to process.

We're not quite at scraping barrel territory yet (and gods willing, we'll hit December before that happens) but the 2017 content I have available is definitely thinning a bit. However, I did polish off Elex - one of those games, much like the PB RPGs that came before it, that I'm going to be a big apologist about for the rest of my days - and knock out two of the remaining mid-card Indies that I'd stacked up prior to the start of this year. This was not a productive month for much of anything given the humidity was so high there were moments of the day where it looked like an N64 game both inside and out the house.

As my backlog-related project for this year I'm looking to build a list of a hundred great games that debuted at some point in 2017, making sure to hit all the important stops along the way. When it comes to game releases every year has its big headliners and hidden gems, but none were more packed than 2017.
