About
Elex (2017) is an action-packed RPG set in a post-apocalyptic science-fantasy world where magic and mechs collide. Developed by Piranha Bytes, the studio behind the Gothic series, this open-world adventure offers players freedom to explore Magalan's diverse factions and environments. The blend of RPG mechanics, combat, and exploration gives it a unique identity within the action-adventure genre.
Elex is relatively accessible for mid-range gaming PCs. With modest minimum requirements of just 8GB RAM and entry-level GPU performance, it won't demand a high-end graphics card for playable framerates. You can expect solid FPS performance on budget GPUs, making it an excellent benchmark title for testing how older or lower-tier hardware handles an open-world game. Even systems with integrated graphics should achieve reasonable performance at lower graphics settings.
If you enjoy open-world RPGs with quirky charm and faction-based gameplay, Elex is worth experiencing despite its middling 68/100 rating. The game's unique setting and creative world-building offset some technical limitations, making it a solid choice for players seeking adventure without demanding cutting-edge hardware.
Performance profile
October 2017 release. Elex was built around the GTX 10-series / RX Vega era. Current-gen mid-range cards (RTX 4060 / RX 7600) are overkill at 1080p and handle 1440p Ultra comfortably.
RPGs like Elex stress VRAM during long sessions — texture streaming, mods and open-world traversal inflate memory use over time. 8 GB VRAM is a practical floor; 12 GB+ is worth the headroom at 1440p and above.
Extremely light — Elex runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.
Storyline
Being raised as an Alb and fed pure Elex to strengthen your body and to be free from emotion, you lived in a world of cold logic and military discipline. Set to rise through the ranks, a scourge to your enemies, your destiny seemed sure. Now, as the smoke rises over the wreckage of your glider in the mountains of Edan, you are trapped far from Xacor. With no access to pure Elex, you are experiencing emotions for the first time in your life. Stranded amongst your enemies, outcast from your people, you must find a new course, you must decide how your life can decide the fate of the world.
