I tried to get back into Gothic II again but failed. It was such a faff to make it run on Windows 10 with a need for fanbuilt patches and mods and then when it does run, every monster and NPC in the game is absent. It's like the Rapture's hit. I decide I can't be arsed and uninstall. The drunken mouse control doesn't help either with looking up and down being super fast and turning / looking left and right being slow as shit, it makes me feel a little seasick.
Having another run at ELEX. Yes, the combat may be wonky and the facial animations iffy but say one thing for Piranha Bytes, they can design a really immersive game world - and in same the early game hell (another PB trademark) is justified by the fact that you, the protagonist, are involuntarily cold turkey from your super soldier serum and are thus reduced to normiedom in what is for all intents and purposes a death world (and it is; every item of wildlife larger than a turkey is aggressive and territorial and quite capable of murdering you at low levels).
