The Surge 2 Reviews
The Surge 2 is a refined, challenging, and rewarding Soulsborne that has its own identity and value beyond the alternative setting. It won't have the industry-wide reverberations that a FromSoftware title does, but for fans within the genre, this is next one they should play.
Although The surge 2 is just another souls-like game, the special combat experience somewhat creates a unique feeling that we are playing as a human size Gundam, which is superb and impressive. Besides that, enemy's AI design and all the voice acting in the game is really frustrating.

Hugely satisfying combat and some smart world design carries a decent Souls-like that feels like a solid, if safe, alternative for genre fans. The Surge 2 is competent, with flashes of excellence, but loses some of its own identity in the shadows of its inspirations.
The Surge 2 is a great sequel, expanding in almost eveyrthing the first one introduced, while maintaining itself too familiar to stand out on its own.

Despite the level of challenge, The Surge 2 is always entertaining and fun to jump into. Mastery comes with persistence here, and while the lack of hand holding might have you replaying some parts a few times, the game never stops being thrilling.
The Surge 2 is challenging, but finds ways to continually reward the player, whether it's a new piece of armor, weapon, or a life-saving shortcut
With The Surge 2, the franchise is finally hitting the upward swing that a non-From Software title deserves in the hardcore action-RPG/Hack-and-Slash genre. Here’s to more titles in the Surge universe …
The Surge 2 is about failure and success. Players are put into a dire situation and expected to survive, fighting against deadly humans and beasts that can easily tear through an adult human with ease. You will die, get pushed back, and expected to try again. This difficult journey through the quarantined city of Jericho can be vexing at times due to the lack of some modern conveniences but that makes success that much sweeter. Even with its shortcomings, The Surge 2 excels at providing a challenging science-fiction adventure overflowing with incredible boss fights.
The Surge 2 is a likeable game despite some oddities with its cheating AI and lack of diversity with its locations. Once you get a feel for its combat beats, it’s a fun game that keeps you coming back for more. Gamers honed on hack-n-slash type experiences will probably find this too-focused and unforgiving to be appealing. Souls-like fans might enjoy what is on offer here despite the way some actions are perhaps too easy in one-direction and too-tough in the other. Either way, if you can reside somewhere in the middle of these elements you’ll find an enjoyable post-apocalyptic romp.
The Surge 2 rises above both its technical limitations and its predecessor to set itself apart in the action RPG genre. It could even be debated that it makes a case for being lumped in with its genre cohorts - a case that is strong indeed thanks to its innovation and willingness to change and improve upon the foundations set in the first game. While it flits in and out of being a smooth-sailing and sleekly presented package, it nevertheless provides a walloping good time and can't be faulted for its enjoyable combat and exploration, navigation issues aside.
Deck13's futuristic limb removal simulator is a solid but generic entry into the Soulslike genre.
The Surge 2 is one of the best games of this generation and one of the best action-RPGs ever made. Everything in this game is in the right place. addictive gameplay, deep combat system, amazing leveling up and upgrade system, many unique weapons and armors, high replay value and also challenging combat, made The Surge 2 a hardcore action RPG that after 75 hours of playing, i'm still so far away from put it down! If you love hardcore games like Dark Souls or want to play an amazing challenging action-RPG, then The Surge 2 is a "must-buy" for you, a "Hardcore Masterpiece".

Sequels aren't always a safe prospect to bet on, but The Surge 2 is one investment that Souls-like fans definitely won't be disappointed with. The game's visceral combat, robust RPG elements, and immersive exploration mechanics come together to create a second outing that's just as compelling, if not more so, than its predecessor.
A disappointing sequel that offers few new ideas as either a Dark Souls clone or a follow-up to the original, with a less interesting setting and story.
The Surge 2 has some marked improvements over its predecessor but doesn’t color too far outside the lines.
The Surge 2 is a very good Souls-like. The level design has really improved after the first episode, and the gameplay key features will procure good sensations to players addicted to challenges.

The Surge 2 has great combat, but no areas stand out visually, a forgettable story, and the feeling that you've done all of this before makes Jericho City a place you'd want to visit, not live.
The Surge 2 doesn’t feel like a massive technological step forward from the original, but on the narrative and gameplay front, it exceeds or refines the experience. Jericho City is a joy to explore, the narrative is more complex, bosses more numerous, and the excellent combat and progression system still engaging.
The Surge 2 improves the gameplay of the predecessor with meaningful innovations, but has to accept compromises in graphics and bosses.

It is the direct continuation of The Surge, a game tell us the nanito's story, a disease it is destined to destroy society. The Surge 2 is an Action-RPG with Soulborne combat with much to offer. We find an upload title that the precuel, but although it shows that it needs more work, especially in combat, where one lost second could mean the dead.
