    This game has a major game breaking bug making it unplayable on PC. With a patch on Oct. 22 this bug suddenly crept up and has not been addressed since. The devs are silent.
    The game crashes every time an area transition is made. It is impossible to continue anything your character does, clicking a door to go to the next hallway or room makes the game crash to desktop.

    Therefore I cannot recommend this game. It would only cause immense frustration buying and trying to play this game. This is made worse by the developers not communicating, seemingly not caring about their game anymore.    … Expand

    For starters, this game has among the absolute worst tutorials i've played through. It teaches you only the most basic mechanics you knew from earlier played games. It's rather in the way then helping you out. It makes the whole experience when trying to get into this game terrible. The questions you do have when starting out is the ones you don't have answered.

The questions you do have when starting out is the ones you don't have answered.

    For people wanting to get into games similar to darksouls, just go directly to darksouls or bloodborne. This is rather of putting, The second after the first boss you get an equipment which have the function of deleting all your currency without warning just for wanting to try it out. Instead of the great feeling when you defeat the boss and get good loot they really took it all away, which sucks when it was quite the amount early on.

    The gameplay it self is pretty good, good combat mechanics, a little getting used to the blocking mechanic, but it is fine otherwise.

    It does look pretty good aesthetically,

    What this game need more then anything is a proper tutorial to not scare people away from the soul like games genre.    … Expand

    the game isnt fun the point of darksouly is to be a challenge not to punish the player.
    the game throws 6 enemies at once on you hiding them behind corners to sneak attack you with instakills. it traps you in cramp spaces with **** camera that doesnt show whats happening.
    no matter what settings i try high or low it runs at 30 fps. the bosses have no parry time and combos with 5 attacks    the game isnt fun the point of darksouly is to be a challenge not to punish the player.

    Usually I trust Jimquisition and Skill-up reviews... this game is a boring grind time waster, The difficulty is artificially inflated to create the souls feel. Combat is mindlessly repetitive once you figure out the patterns.

    The Surge 2 was **** Clunky combat , extremely grindy and repetitive. **** character , buggy, **** world. Not to mention not 15 minutes into the game and you have to listen to the devs woke homosexual romance story through audio logs. How is a homosexual romance relevant to the events unfolding, or relatable for most players, virtue signaling at its worst.

    The graphics in this game are appalling, seriously it looks like it was made in 2006. I can't get rid of stutter even on my decent desktop at medium settings. Oh, and the game is really boring. I do not get it AT ALL

    Не понимаю зачем они клепают такие тупые игры. По сути Surge1-2 это игры паразиты - смотрите мы на DarkSouls похожи. Нихера вы на DarkSouls не похожи, вы просто говно склепали. А журналисты которые ставят высокие и средние оценки этому говну просто продажные шлюхи и никто больше. The Surge 2 пустая трата времени и денег.Не понимаю зачем они клепают такие тупые игры.

    Horrible. How did it manage to be WORSE than the first game, which was bad, but not this bad! Extremely boring and grindy, avoid at all costs.

    Первая часть была чем то новым в жанре souls-like. Механика фокусировки на частях тела противников была фишкой первой части, из-за я прошел ее полностью.
    Во второй части же ничего нового нет. Все те же противники, все те же механики, желания продолжать играть нет.    Первая часть была чем то новым в жанре souls-like. Механика фокусировки на частях тела противников была фишкой первой части, из-за я прошел ее полностью.

    Gameplay is an improvement from the original version, but it runs and look three times worse. With an RX 5600 XT The Surge 1 runs the game at max settings with pure ease. The sequel stutters at any setting and looks worse too. They messed up this port, needless to say. Ruins in the game.

    Как и все соулсы, эта игра очень сложная, но прогресс есть. Игра не такая сложная, как большинство других соулс лайков. Графика дерьмо. Подсказки по управлению показываются для клавиатуры и мышки.

    With the environment changing from a factory to a city, The Surge 2 loses its appeal of heavy machinery. With a spiritual story and a confusing map, it was never really clear where The Surge 2’s gameplay or world atmosphere was heading. Luckily, changes in the game’s system are more clear. By making battles less challenging and improving the upgrade system, the game’s dismemberment-focused action has become genuinely more fun. That being said, there are just too many aspects that hold it back.

    Graphics are rarely worth mentioning nowadays, since most games look good or great. That’s not The Surge 2’s case: sometimes graphics are so bad it messes with gameplay, as it gets hard to tell if it’s a puddle of water, poison or a chasm. [Issue#242, p.50]

    Despite a few technical hiccups, The Surge 2 presents a marked improvement over its predecessors and an all-around good game.
