Jun 2, 2022Nettes. Spiel es hat echt viel Spaß gemacht. Mehr davon! Nicht zu lang, nicht zu kurz. Genau richtig.

May 3, 2022Как 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.

Feb 18, 2022Game is nice. Great fighting system lots of veapon and armor variety but it felt too long, especially second part of the game. Also I wish there was more options in developing your character.

Aug 11, 2020The 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.

Jul 22, 2020Gameplay 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.

Jul 22, 2020Can be rather repetitive at times, but it`s a good sequel, has a fun combat and simple but interesting character customization. Some welcome changes like parrying can spice up the combat. The voice acting it`s pretty bad for most characters.

Jul 20, 2020Same problems as the first game; terrible level design, cheap enemy placement, claustrophobic environments, frustrating and repetitive combat, irritating gear upgrade system, etc. It’s an improvement over the last game, and it looks like nice, but it isn’t enough to overshadow the games glaring flaws.

Apr 3, 2020A pretty good soulslike game that introduces its own mechanics to the genre, however, it relies to heavily on its progression system, going too far in a grind-to-win direction.

Feb 26, 2020The 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

Jan 19, 2020I've registered on metacritic, just to say how much piece of s**t that game is

Dec 5, 2019Great game. With its own special atmosphere. It is very different from the Dark Souls series. Wonderful locations that are very interesting to explore and find new ways.

Nov 19, 2019I couldn't get into the first Surge but this one swallowed me whole. I'm having a blast even though the improvements, while noticeable, are not exactly game changing. But the level design and enemy variety improved a lot and that's good enough for me. One of the best Souls-likes on the market.

Jan 17, 2020With 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.

Game World Navigator MagazineJan 14, 2020Graphics 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]

Nov 22, 2019Despite a few technical hiccups, The Surge 2 presents a marked improvement over its predecessors and an all-around good game.
