Today, german magazine PC Games released an article about the combat system of Elex. This article mostly is from the recent preview in the PC Games 06/2017 magazine. In it, editor Peter Bathge explains the improvements of the combat system compared to the Risen series and also mentions the new stamina bar and combo attacks.
However, animations are being criticized again, as well as the ranged weapons, which lack power, and the hit feedback. Also the combat system can't match the complexity and precision of something like Dark Souls or The Surge, because they're still too chaotic. Because of the weapon variety and the jetpack the fights are diverse though, according to PC Games.
