The Surge 2 keeps what fans and critics loved about the original while also expanding greatly upon the formula. The Surge 2 takes place in a brand new environment: a sprawling, devastated city with larger, more ambitious level design and improved engine. Combat is more brutal and tactical than ever, with even more options thanks to an expanded limb targeting system.

This game out and out sucks. It's lacking fundamental necessities needed to even PLAY it. There's no map, no markers for quests, can't even select the quest you wanna do, enemies respawn even if you don't save (they just respawn if you even re-enter an area) and there's absolutely no guidance whatsoever about where to go or what to …

This game out and out sucks. It's lacking fundamental necessities needed to even PLAY it. There's no map, no markers for quests, can't even select the quest you wanna do, enemies respawn even if you don't save (they just respawn if you even re-enter an area) and there's absolutely no guidance whatsoever about where to go or what to do. This is hands down unplayable. It's a shame cause it opens really well and plays pretty well too, but you can't progress and it's simply frustrating, and not even because of diffculty but because the game outright won't let you know how to. Uninstalled and never finishing.

Hey, what do ya know, someone found a way to make a Souls like actually playable and enjoyable. Wild. Robots are also way cooler than general fantasy, so there's that.

The Surge 2 is actually the combination of God Hand and Kingdom Hearts 2 combat nobody saw coming and it's fucking crazy

The Surge 2 - First Impressions

The Surge 2 - First Impressions

This is honestly the biggest surprise of the year for me. Deck13 seems to have taken every single lesson that needed to be learned from the first game and went above and beyond to rectify on them. The quality gap cannot be overstated here, as someone who didn't enjoy the first game at all this is well on the way to being one of my favorite ARPGs in general. A lot of my praise is centered around the guard-parry, which in contrast to most parries in action games, requires you to INPUT IN A DIRECTION OPPOSITE THE ENEMY'S ATTACK, which is phenomenal! Because instead of just a strict timing test, it values enemy awareness. Combine this with strong boss design (insofar where I am), good enemies, solid although linear levels, solid kinesthetics to attacks, genuine weapon variety, depth of options to combat decisionmaking, and what's on offer here is something I really can't wait to come back to to finish.

I'm honestly just sad that it flew under the radar now!

I'm genuinely amazed that The Surge did well enough to warrant a sequel:
