If you like Pirahna bytes games you'll like this one. It feels like a more polished Gothic 2 in a futuristic setting. The Jet pack is a game changer and though it was also available in Elex 1, it's more fun to use in Elex 2.
As most Pirahna Bytes games, Elex 2 starts you off in a very weak state and you'll need to avoid the harder foes in the beginning. The graphics are pretty good and the game world is fun to explore. There is a lot of loot to be found and NPC's to meet. Give this game a chance.
