The Surge 2 is a challenging sci-fi action RPG with really solid combat and a unique limb-targeting system that keeps fights interesting. The story is pretty average but the gameplay makes it worth both playing and replaying.

A decent souls-like marred by bugs, annoying camera, poor map design in later stages and some poorly designed or overly bullet-spongey bosses that take far too long to kill (I like short, fast, lethal boss battles in which you can be creative and fight a duel, not drawn out multi phase slogs where you chip a boss to death or need to hit a 'weak point', and there are far too many of these latter bosses in the game). Oh, and in the later stages the checkpoints and shortcuts are stupuidly far apart with many high risk areas to kill you in between, which is just irritating. Basically my enjoyment dropped considerably as I hit the later stages, though I did push through to the end.
Considering how much I loved the first game, this one surpasses it in every way. Many aspects have been improved, such as combat: it’s more agile and fluid here, with better moves, more attack options, and directional parries. I’d say the parry is the biggest defensive innovation, since you can block in a specific direction to launch a devastating counterattack if you time it right, something that’s very satisfying to master. There’s a greater variety of environments, moving away from the repetitive industrial setting of the first game, with cities, forests, beaches, and much more. I also think there’s a greater diversity of enemies and bosses. The narrative is much easier to follow than in the first game. While it’s still not a masterpiece, there’s more dialogue and a more coherent structure. The drone system is more useful, offering more variety in ranged attacks and combat-integrated utilities. The upgrade and loot system is much better, as it adds more armor pieces and weapons with unique abilities. And there are more interconnected, vertically structured levels (non-linear, with better shortcuts in the style of Dark Souls). If you’re a fan of the first game, you’ll like this one much more, and in fact, you’ll end up seeing it as a necessary evolution.
This is my favorite game of all time. I have well over 200 hours on it on console since its release. The story is engaging, told through in-game cutscenes, audiologs, and environmental details which draw you into the story of Jericho city and the nanites infesting it. The city itself is a fantastic setting, with extremely varied locales, including a swampy derelict port, a vibrant park, a police command center, and the incredibly active city center. You get to see in real time how the nanite scourge develops and effects the characters within the world. But the real selling point of this game is the combat. This is 100% the best combat system I have ever played in a souls-like or otherwise. You can target specific enemy body parts to disable and hamper them during the fight to cut them off and gain the weapons they were holding or the armor they were wearing. The system is so dynamic, and made even more so by the parry mechanics new to the Surge 2. The drone has been overhauled to provide a much more varied number of support options and fire types, and can even cut off parts at a distance! This game is well worth the $30 price tag yet routinely goes on sale for just $3, even though the average playthrough length is over 20 hours (given by stats you get for playtime and deaths at the end credits)! If you are a fan of souls likes, grungy mid-apocalypse settings, or sci-fi themes, treat yourself to this masterpiece of a game. The only complaint I have is that there isn't a Surge 3.
