Turn off auto target lock = Better Combat system

[ArcadeVault]

Just a little tip, as said. A lot of people complaining about the combat system, and i found it pretty strange as well, even compared to Gothic games. Then i realized the main problem was that auto lock feature... When locked on a target, you cant turn to other directions, also if the target ran away, your character started to walk towards to it slowly. Very annyoing, cant face multiple enemies, totally broken.

Turn it off, u get a very playable combat.
Game is just a masterpiece anyway!

Whoah whoah. I wouldn't go calling it a masterpiece. A solid 8 or 7/10 though for sure.

Personally i prefer the lock. The dynamic lock is way too unreliable, and the controls too janky for my taste for the free targeting.

To each his own.

Well, i can tell you one think. This is the first single player game since mass effect 3 (and that was not even the best), what kept my attention till the end and i did not get bored at all. And after 10 years , that was the first time i really felt the good old gothic 2 vibe. For me, yeah, Elex is a masterpiece. Not Fallout 4, wich i got bored very soon, but this. (skyrim was another favourite, but still far away from the gothic saga)

Combat consists of me running around a tree with a mob chasing me while my companion kills it.

So Combat Lock works either way for me

Get better gear, learn to combo, or jetpack away. It helps if you interrupt the enemies' attacks for your companion even if you are too low level to do damage because it lets your companion unleash longer combos and keep up his stamina.
