There are rundown city environments with area’s completely fenced off, or access blocked due to a pile-up of numerous abandoned vehicles. Since the game takes place entirely in Jericho City, each sector has its own distinct theme.

While there isn’t a tradition fast travel system, you do unlock pods much later on that do allow you to zip from a few locations quicker. Jericho City is similar in design to what you’d expect from a Souls’like environment and always feels like your exploration is rewarding you. Once you have the ability to utilize all these traversal methods, you can return to several environments and track down new spots where you may have seen some items remain at a distance or gain access to whole new locations. To access the switches, panels, and ziplines that allow this method of connection will require abilities and item’s you’ll earn throughout the game. Unlocking a path next to the first medbay a few hours in, made me smile, showing me just how far I’d come. Jericho City itself is a maze of connected paths and while the size of what you can explore may seem small at first, there are so many underground locations and branching paths that the city and what it has to offer later in the game that can make it feel massive and everchanging. While the story is fairly thin, even with the added lore provided through its people and side quests, it’s just gripping enough to make you care about your journey and what it means for your own character.
You’ll soon see visions of a mysterious girl and much of the story is through you investigating these visions and how you are connected to them. You play as a new character, one who is the sole survivor of a terrible plane crash as you’re shot down over the city of Jericho. While there are nods and winks to those that have completed it, you can jump into this sequel without even knowing anything about what came before. Since I didn’t complete the original Surge, it’s nice to see that very little of that game’s narrative is required to enjoy its distanced sequel.

To be blunt, The Surge 2 has some of the most impressive combat ever, full stop. The world and gameplay The Surge 2 offers, with its dismantling combat, and the hostile world this adventure takes place in is incredibly impressive and even the feel of combat is more akin to Rocksteady’s Batman franchise with how fast and engaging it can be. The Surge 2 does borrow several ideas and gameplay mechanics, but to say that the game doesn’t have its own unique identity is a bold-faced lie. While I’m not entirely oblivious to Dark Souls, I have played portions of Dark Souls 2, and even through about a third of Sekiro, It’s clear that Fromsoft has struck gold when they created Demon Souls and then refined the game and that experience into the Dark Souls series, and subsequently into the equally popular Bloodborne. While I don’t know if it’s convinced me to jump into the titles it’s inspired by, I will say that Surge 2 is one of the best games I’ve played this year.įirst off, my experience with Dark Souls and how the game functions is mostly limited to the comparisons I’ve heard through games like Lords of the Fallen, The Surge, Nioh, Ashen, and even the most genre distanced one in Remnant: From the Ashes.

The Surge 2, on the other hand, was a title that I really wanted to take a crack at and is the first of these types of games I’ve played right through to its final encounter. Games that look to mimic Dark Souls, and that of even Bloodborne, both titles from the now infamous developer, Fromsoft, I usually end up being curious about them, yet never looking to dive in. I’ve often distanced myself from extremely difficult games, as challenge isn’t really the appeal of gaming to me, though I do understand why it is to many. While I dipped my toes into the first Surge, when it was too cheap to pass up, It was a title I didn’t really give a fair shake to.
