I really love The Surge series because of its satisfying mutilation system. Thank goodness the devs also seems to properly implement ranged combat & better overall drone system, although I do genuinely wish for actual ranged weapons that player character could use. After all it's a bit Jarring to see no guns or even the likes of crossbow/bows in such futuristic setting. something like a hybrid weapons (i.e. rifle-spear, dual pistols - twin rigs, shotgun-staff, etc) would a good implementation for the overall melee focus combat system.

17:22 Those three legged machines kept me from finishing Surge 1. They were so annoying, that when I reached the final area (I think?), and couldn't run past tougher iterations of them, I stopped playing. I had always intended on going back, but the thought of fighting them made me play something else each time. You basically had to stun them with your drone before being able to properly attack/damage them, which required you to power up your batteries each time. I'm so glad they fixed that this in this.

compare to the first game the first boss in the surge 2 is...easy....putting it lightly..

Im not gonna watch but i had to leave this comment: as someone who holds the first game in incredivly high regard, this makes me so damn excited. I dont think the surge is THAT great a game, but i love it to no end because of what it represents. I played the Surge BEFORE i played LOTF and i learned 2 things from that: Lords of the Fallen is so bad it’s agony, and The Surge did everything right in terms of development. I legitimately could point for point kist how TheSurge addressed the conplaints about LOTF amd not only fixed them, but in some cases turned them into positives. Knowing through your affirmation that TheSurge2 has kept this trend of Deck13’s has me more hyped to pkay it than any amount of marketing and trailers could ever hope to achieve I look forward to coning back and watching this video in full probably like a year from now

Lemme tell you about how cool The Serge 2 is. While running around an open plaza area, I found a hidden hallway off the beaten path covered in boxes and full of poison. I assumed that there must have been something cool at the end of this hallway if it had this much shit in front of it. I ran down the hallway, getting poisoned in the process and at the end of it I found nothing but an entrance to another area. I went through that and fount a small side area that was blocked off from this new area completely. Instead of a cool item I was told to go fuck myself. But that's not the end of my cool story. After I had gotten out of there and continued exploring the area, I died to some enemies and left behind a huge chunk of souls. I didn't respawn at the closest robot bonfire, instead the game places you at either the last bonfire you touched or the last place you transitioned into the area from. It put me back at the end of the ass poison hallway. With no heals stalked up to fight the poison and all the enemies respawned, I lost all my hard earned souls. Doesn't help that right outside the poison hallway are 3 guys: one melee, one with a gun and one that tosses molotovs. Fun game, really improved on the original.

Good call! It's similar enough to the 1st that you probably wouldn't enjoy it. Regardless the PS4 textures on character models are deadass PS1 quality and in the busier parts of the game I'm seeing screen tearing on the reg.

For me the most important info is that the combat is re balanced and the environments have improved. I absolutely adore Soulslike games but I just couldnt get past the second area of surge because all the enemies would one shot you and it completely killed any semblance of fun, especially when combined with the super confusing locations where I did not even know where the heck I am and could never find my corpse again over and over. I am a bit worried about the performance part though, I have only regular PS4 and I assume its going to be even worse.

I would try it again. You have to segment your path and focus on where you are going. Don't be afraid to meta if you don't know where to go. It is fairly easy to follow if you eliminate one path one by one and most lead to shortcuts that bring you back to the medbay. I finished the main game in 25 hours (few frustrating deaths) while playing with a light build, focusing on dodging and upgrading core power. I don't plan to take on NG or DLC but am considering this, Dark Souls 3 or Code Vein.

Will you do a Shadowkeep review? There are so many recent Luke Smith interviews where he talks about the tough times during the Activision reich, which need to be aknowleged. You’re the perfect man for it.

My biggest problem with Deck13 games is the Physics. all of Deck13 Physics always feel floaty. they look the same this time around too. To me that is the largest problem they have.

I never had any camera issues in the surge 1 probably because i used keyboard and mouse which worked flawlessly (unlike in souls). So if camera is problem to you and you are on pc give that a shot.

Seems like Deck 13 took some hints from the colleagues from Piranha Bytes, narrative wise.

tripod enemy was soooo easy to kill but you needed to parry it, it was designed to force you to learn how to parry. Never skipped enemies in the surge the combat was too much fun to do so.

Could use a dose of humor, though. He's very informative and fair in most cases, buuuut slightly boring to listen to for half an hour.

I just started NG+ on The Surge 2. I love this game. I hope The Surge 3 comes out. I look forward to it being so good that it's compared directly to Dark Souls 3

Are you sure there is a new game plus mode? Devs said it might not make it to release and will be included later.

the next surge shall have boss battle feature when u cut a boss battle with a heavy attack, the limbs should be cut off and their limbs would be recovered overtime during a battle. it is on a future theme game and they should make boss battle slow at first cus they got repair parts in their body, the more they use those parts to repair their body they get faster. like you know what i mean and i would love games like that

Something about the graphics of this game and the first just make my eyes glaze over, like I have no idea what's going on and I can't focus on any details. It's weird. Any similar experiences?

I just finished this on the XBOX One X. Loved it and am starting my new game +. Love games that make you have to 'get good' to succeed.
