Very fun game if you are looking for something to scratch that souls-like itch. There are some interesting mechanics not present in other souls-like games. It is no Lies of P, but definitely worth playing if you are obsessed with this sub-genre like myself.

Eh, it's alright. Okay jokes aside. It's good, Just need to get your head out of the mindset to play like a Souls game. It's not. Combat is pretty deep and some parts of the game are more enhanced than the Surge 1. I've spent dozens of hours creating builds after builds in this game. The only issues I have with this game are One; the lighting in this game is worse than The Surge 1 because some parts are too dark or it's heavily filtered with a color tint (I'm talking about you Gideon Rock), and Two; the camera when you're fighting some enemies is too low to see what they're doing. It's distracting, especially fighting those who can just one-shot you into oblivion. Finally, the bosses are not really an improvement nor a downgrade. It's different. Dare I say the bosses in The Surge 1 are much more memorable despite that game having less boss fights in comparison to The Surge 2. I think some boss fights are fun, but the rest of them are just alright. If you don't like the Surge 1, chances are you might not like The Surge 2. If you only care about the combat, you'll enjoy this a lot. Two tips; 1; Attack cancels is you friend and 2; Learn how to do directional block / deflect and you'll have an easier time fighting enemies and bosses. For those who have played Dark Souls 1, the deflect timings of the Surge 2 are somewhat similar to it. Alright, why are you reading this? Go and play it and have fun!

April 2025

Surge 2 is a good game, no doubt about it, just not so good as the first one. I like new parry system, weapon and enemy variety, world building and how city changes through the story. I don't like story at all, some basic garbage about saving a girl and you play as a big nobody who don't have any personality. NPCs are awfully stupid, just talking puppets, the only one interesting character is Warren from first game. First half of the game was too boring, level design and city layout are very confusing but when you got all tools/shortcuts to traverse the locations it's becoming alright. Combat kinda lost a little bit of weight but became very aggressive and fast. Bosses are serious lacklaster, there are some decent encounters but others are reskins of basic enemy types. Overall it was a very fun experience, just with some bad game design decisions.

The fact that this game is rated mixed and just mostly positive is a travesty.. This is an awesome souls like that doesn't have the same controls as a souls game. It has different armor sets, lots of weapons with different move sets, the levels twist back on themselves. I think this game is a work of art.

A fine souls-like. Definitely not as challenging as any of the from soft games, but can still pose a fun challenge. Devs did improve on the formula of the original game, like remove the bullsh*t weapon proficiency stat, introduce new weapon types. But what was a definite downgrade for me, its the main character him self. In the first game Warren (your character) had a personality, a voice, something you can connect to. In this game you get none of that but what you can do is to customize the appearance of you character, something i could not care less about. By the end of the game i have completely forgotten how my character looks underneath all that armor. Overall a great game, would recommend for any souls-like enjoyer.
