I’m sure fans of this type of game knew about it, but I think this is still a pretty niche title.

I also love the amount of work some of them took to get, and the surge 2 gives me so much more of that, all with a badass combat system and a new, interesting and varied world (although I actually liked the factory/industrial setting of the first game a lot). Instant 9/10 (for both games) with my only gripe being fighting the game’s camera and just a couple of the bosses feeling a teeny tiny bit boring

I wanted to love the first one but every fight was either you do a running attack on a weak part and trivialize the fight entirely, or you attack like 'normal' and end up getting smacked hard because the enemies don't get stunned unless using super heavy weapons. became pointless to do anything but running attacks, the entire game. even the final boss was trivialized by charging in and doing a two hit combo with twin rigs and then backing out until you had the stamina to repeat.

I love the Surge series so far. I gotta say that thisbwasba fantastic sequal and I can't wait for the next one or even spin offs if they decide. This game was faster than the first one, and I loved that they added some depth to the NPCs that you meet. The story was great and I kept craving to go back to it again. Possibly the greatest "souls-like game" out there. Something I had a problem with was that it was too easy toward the end, and I felt like I ended up using the same armor the whole time and leveling the shit out of it. I always end up trying to be light and mobile, but still ended up being a heavy player in the second half. But unloved the variety of weapons, the heavier use of drones, and the better use of the blocking system (the first had a dodge system that I didn't find intuitive and hardly used). I also liked how they gave you the option (again) to do away with these perks to favor other implants if you wanted them. Overall, I love this series and can't wait to see the next one (hopefully).

Thank you! An actually good review on this AND without spoilers. Already watched a few and all were terrible with both describing the changes and spoilering shit For my opinions on the first game: I wasn't head over heels, but it is definitely a good game, with a lot of cool stuff and I think devs did a very great job working on their mistakes and improving on stuff that was good from original Lords of the Fallen, so I don't doubt The Surge 2 is a great game. What I was wondering is how different it is compared to the first one and if I should go for my third playthrough in the first game or I could just go with the same general build into the new game without missing out on anything. I think I'll go for that third playthrough first and will start The Surge 2 right after I'm done with the first one again 😅

Honestly this game is just more stressful then it's ever fun the open sandbox design just managed to be a headache to navigate least with the first one it was straight forward to a degree I find it hard to enjoy any combat when the desire to win is less for progress and more so you don't have to endure up to another half hour of wondering about and going in circles

I didn't finish the first Surge... Yet, but damn that game was good. Mysterious and a bit startling at times. I like how the character in the beginning seemed generally scared of what the hell was going on. That kind of gave you a sense of emersion. I did not want to die in that game in the beginning cause it was soooo creepy, but after like the 100th time and after you level up to be a bad ass, it grows on ya. lol

Really and genuinely, they’ve nailed it this time around. Lords of the Fallen was a bit of a rough start, so slow and clunky. Surge 1 was rough as well in terms of story and context but it’s gameplay was really engaging. Surge 2 is great. The mechanics are good, huge variety of weapons and gorgeous looking armour. More quests that are actually a good use of the huge and various areas in the world. I love the Surge 2, it may well be a Game of the Year for many people if only because it’s just so solid and delivers exactly what we needed from it, better context for our actions and more toys to play with in its now beautifully realised world.

surge 1 took what was good of the souls game, added their own little things, removed the pure enrage feature of currency inflation-per-level; (now, losing 15k in the second area is not something worth to restart the save for) everything after you meet the board seems like they designed in a fever dream halfway trough production, has you litterally only just found 3 records (and a secret area) actually pointing out to that, and the design of the rogue program 1st phase, from the look, to the movement, to the hit-deadzone is the worst part of the game

I like the the story and lore elements but I agree about the picking the origin, I stressed over that for several moments, what does each one mean? How well it effect game play, and so far only the vendors like “oh your a so and so, I got a deal for you.” So doesn’t feel like the origins matter at all.

I really, really, do not know why people are so shy about comparing a game to Dark Souls, or to say "Soulslike". Its a new, perfectly legitimate genre. We have a precedent with terms like "Roguelike" or "Metroidvania." Here, Jake tried the term "deliberate action-combat RPG." What a mouthful. People act like journalists are being cliche in saying "soulslike", like repeating "it really makes you feel like Batman." It's not journalists fault that all these soulslike games are coming out. Were people in 1890 like "I know its a cliche to say by now, but the new Mary Shelley novel is a Science Fiction story." Is it because everything moves so much faster in 2019, that new terms can spread super quickly and - thus - feel like a fad because of its abruptness? I don't get it.
@justiceforjoggers28975 жыл бұрын
It's alright to make actual comparisons and holding it to light when it's related to the genre. It'd another to say Cuphead is Just Like Darksouls because you die, or that Paper Mario is Just Like Dark Souls because there's a checkpoint

Great game! I kinda enjoy Deck13's soulslikes more than the games that inspired them. Surge 2 is a step up from the original in pretty much every aspect, but I do prefer the atmosphere and sense of isolation in the first game. Also, I'm not a fan of how they streamlined the implant system here.

I played and streamed the surge for the first time last month and I loved it, even did a new game plus which I never do. Started the surge 2 and while the combat is much better, I liked the dark horror atmosphere of the first one. I would love to replay part one with part 2's combat.

Am I the only one playing on PC who thinks the keyboard and mouse controls are worst in this one than in the first game? I played through the first game with k+m but in this game it feels like they designed it more with controller in mind. Like for example they removed the button to cycle through the drones and now instead you have 4 keys to switch through the 4 drones which for some reasons are assigned to 3, 4, 7 and 8

Man I was sleeping on this game for so long. Wrote it off as a cheap souls like. I'm happy I was wrong. The directional blocking, once you get the hang of it, feels so satisfying. I got to a point where I literally never dodged. Super creative armor and weapon models. But it was WAY too easy. Once I was halfway through, I never died. Felt like a god. Got a bit boring. But new game + brings back the challenge all over again. Also the story literally is nothing. Which I'm not exactly looking for in a game like this so that's okay. Pretty fun game overall.

Are there more balanced weapons in the Surge 2? For me, in the previous game, all weapons felt really underpowered except the heavy PAX weapon which I ended up using the entire game. All the other weapons were really fast and fun to use but felt like hitting an enemy with wet newspapers.
