    I got this game because I've read it challenging like the souls series. This did not disappoint at all. If you enjoy a challenge, get this.

    I have never been a fan of souls like games but the surge’s unique setting has always interested me. The first game took me multiple tries to get into it due to the difficulty and I finally beat it a few days ago. I liked it so much that I immediately went out to purchase the surge 2 after i beat the first. I am glad to say that this game surpasses the first in terms of gameplay. The gameplay feels faster and more fluid than the first. In the first game i would evade every attack because I was no good at parrying but the new directional parrying system is a huge game changer to combat. It takes a while to master it but once you do it is so satisfying to be able to take on a mob of enemies slicing and dicing parts off! The character customization is decent but I feel a defined character like Warren from the first game could have made the narrative a little stronger. I really like the way the maps are made in these games, they always lead back to the med bays which makes exploration a must. Jericho city is alright as a setting but it doesn’t have that creepiness of being stuck in ground zero of the surge like the creo factory. The bosses are great albeit easier than the first’s game. The new upgrade system is great the addition of upgradeable injectables really help me get through some tough areas. At first I did not like that the health injectable relied solely on battery charges but it adds depth, every heal used is not given but earned which makes the gameplay much more satisfying. Overall the surge 2 is the best souls like game I have played (have not played bloodborne yet). I am very interested to see some dlc or a new entry that continues the narrative and brings back more characters.

    Punishing but Intriguing

    I wrote in another review that I preferred Code Vein to this game, but it does have some strong points. I really like the art design, and the combat definitely does have weight and impact. However, it relies on fast-twitch skill throughout, and it's so difficult that a regular enemy can kill you in 1-2 hits in the early game. While I have no problem with hard games, I'd prefer a steadier ramp-up to better get used to the controls. Conditional recommendation - if you like games like that, you will enjoy The Surge 2.

    For those seeking a challenging adventure in the dark souls vein, look no further. Deck13 improves on prior mistakes and delivers with a proper fun sequel. Great weapon variety and a maze of a map to navigate, the game is very hard, diverse and tough to put down. 4.4/5

    The Surge 2 builds on what made the first game great! Creative Dark Souls like combat in a future universe. The twist is you can cut off enemies armor and weaponry and use it for your own! The environments are much more open than the first game giving a lot of variety and much more beautiful scenery. Strongly recommend this if you were a fan of the first game and Dark Souls/Lords of the Fallen!!

    I really enjoyed the first game although it was pretty clunky and the sequel fixes all the issues from the previous entry. Anyone who likes souls-like games should at least try this game. It's not as challenging as other games in the genre but the combat is incredibly satisfying.

    I beat the first game and loves it, this game improves in almost all areas. I especially like that we can creat your own character this time. If you like dark souls, you will like this game!

    Bought this game after beating the first one. I’m a big fan of the Dark Soul’s like games. They are tough but it feels so amazing when you prevail. This game has more variety than the first one and the environment is bigger.
