Meaty, weighty combat means you feel the impact of every hit, The directional parries are a high risk/reward setup and wonderfully satisfying to pull off, Clever, intricate level design creates spaces that require observant exploration, The limb targeting
The story, characters and setting are shallow, bland, sci-fi stereotypes, Despite the great level design, few locations are particularly memorable

Rocky performance, Largely poor presentation
The Surge 2 is a must-play for fans of the soulslike genre. With incredibly well-designed areas, excellent combat featuring a wider variety of enemies, and a story that proves itself worth being invested in by the end, it improves upon its predecessor in...
