When the player makes a move or jumps, then they are committing to an action that they cannot cancel out of, while enemies possess built-in tracking abilities. The boss monsters have some great (if not totally original) designs and they provide an incredible amount of challenge, especially for the player who has yet to master parrying.įights against the The Surge 2's bosses shine a light on the biggest issue with the game's combat system and it's in regards to enemy movement. There are some great opponents that play with the rules of the combat system, including robots that can survive the loss of multiple limbs and nanite-infused monstrosities that split into smaller creatures upon death, but these don't show up nearly enough. The human scavenger enemies are the main opponents throughout The Surge 2 and the game leans on them a bit too heavily. The Surge 2 starts the player out against human opponents who use mismatched gear. The player doesn't unlock the ability to fast travel until the late in the game, which can lead to some tedious running around when completing quests that involve multiple areas, but the shortcut system keeps the player engaged with individual short-term goals when entering new areas, as they slowly work out the best way to progress through Jericho City. As they explore the stage, they will unlock shortcuts that lead back to the safety of the Medbay. The Surge 2 uses a Metroidvania style approach with its individual levels, with each zone featuring a Medbay (the game's equivalent to the Bonfires of Dark Souls) that they can use to heal and spend their Tech Scraps. As the game progresses, Jericho City opens itself up in terms of diverse environments and giving the player different locations to explore, including wildlife reservations that are filled with mercenaries and robotic statutes, a power plant that is overflowing with toxic materials that can kill the player if they fall off a ledge, and overrun evacuation zones that have been abandoned mid-battle and left to the machines. The Surge 2 seems as if it's following the same pattern at the start, as the early portions of Jericho City involve bland city streets and only a few travel destinations. One of the biggest complaints about The Surge was its boring world and linear structure. The Surge 2 has altered the way in which many of these concepts work, such as Tech Scraps only remaining on the field for a limited time after death and the health Implant needing to be charged by striking enemies, but they should still be familiar to fans of the Souls series.
It won't take players long to realize that the gameplay of The Surge 2 is heavily inspired by the Dark Souls series, with Tech Scraps acting as Souls and the healing Implant working in a similar way to Estus Flasks. Jericho City quickly falls into ruin as different factions fight for control of the region, including opportunistic scavengers, the heavily-armed military, and a mysterious cult of machine worshipers. The main character discovers that they are not the only survivor of the crash, as they keep having visions of a mysterious young girl named Athena who was taken by the military. The protagonist is the survivor of a plane crash, who wakes up strapped to a bed in the middle of the chaos. The Surge 2 is set in the futuristic Jericho City, which has fallen into anarchy after a nanite disease has caused all of the robots to go on a rampage. The combat system in The Surge 2 has a steep learning curve and the game can be brutally difficult at times, but there is a rewarding experience awaiting the players with the patience to master its mechanics. The Surge 2is an action game that takes the formula of the Dark Soulsseries and transplants it into a science fiction setting.
The Surge 2 is a deep combat action game heavily inspired by the Souls series, and it offers a brutally difficult but rewarding experience.
