Pros:
- You get to make a lot of choices and they do actually matter in the end.
- Giant openworld, you never run out of things/places to discover.
- Large Veriety of weapons, armor, upgrades etc.
- Many missions and side quests, you never run out of things to do.
- Lots of monsters and enemies, so you never go 100% safe, got to be awake to play this.
- Good trading system, you can find loot/Shards (Ingame Currency) all over the place while exploring the world
or by completing missions, all your left over items you can simply trade in for weapons, armor and items you need.
- Good character design with good voiceover and smooth animations.

♥♥♥♥:
- The animations might clip, for example an arm going inside the other arm etc.
- Simple and a a bit few fighting animations, doesn't necessarily mean that they're bad.
- Not the best graphic of the world, this does not bother me as I mostly play for the gameplay and not the looks
but might bother some.
- General small bugs, which I bet will be fixed in the future as this game is still fairly new.

I like the overall game feeling of playing ELEX, played it for 10 hours in 2 days.
If you like Assasins creed and Red dead redemption this is definately a game for you!
Looking at the Pros compared to ♥♥♥♥, not surprised it's 49.99€
