The Surge 2 keeps what fans and critics loved about the original while also expanding greatly upon the formula. The Surge 2 takes place in a brand new environment: a sprawling, devastated city with larger, more ambitious level design and improved engine. Combat is more brutal and tactical than ever, with even more options thanks to an expanded limb targeting system.

Critic Reviews
By Dustin Murphy
One of the things that’s hard to admit is that despite its performance issues, The Surge 2 is fantastic and the Premium Edition assures this to newcomers and veterans alike with plenty of DLC (coming in a separate review) to enjoy.

All in all, The Surge 2 is a great game to pick up if you're looking for a more arcade-like take on the Dark Souls formula. It's a fun and engaging game with a solid combat system and enjoyable mechanics, and it's only dragged down by a mediocre story and lackluster environments. With the excellent improvements from The Surge to The Surge 2, the franchise is well on its way to standing tall in the Soulsborne genre. It's well worth playing if you're an aficionado of this genre and don't mind dying a few times.

The bottom line, The Surge 2 is a fairly large shift in the series and amputations are simply satisfactory. However, if I stop talking for a while as a serial killer and rather focus on the technical state of the game, I have to mention loading textures. The level is missing many times, even you or other characters. It doesn't matter if you play the performance mode or frame rate mode on consoles. The title is simply less optimized than the first episode, which, together with other shortcomings, drops the recommendation rate to 8 points out of ten. Number one earned 4 points out of 5 in the old ranking, which could be compared to the current seven to eight. So it is up to you whether you try the first episode first or jump straight into the actions and nerves of Jericho.

If you want a challenging action-adventure action gameplay and don't mind a weird story, The Surge 2 is the fun option you can count on.

The Surge 2 hosts some of the best combat and customization seen in the genre it inhabits. That alone makes it worth the admission price, even for those less inclined to more challenging video games. Slick, vicious, fun. Much like wrestling a greasy bear.
