The Surge 1 felt like a proof of concept. The Surge 2 feels like a far fuller realisation of Deck 13's vision. It doesn't fix everything wrong with the first game, but it fixes and adds enough that the entire package feels meatier, more fleshed out and noticeably better.

@crozraven 4 года назад

I really love The Surge series because of its satisfying mutilation system. Thank goodness the devs also seems to properly implement ranged combat & better overall drone system, although I do genuinely wish for actual ranged weapons that player character could use. After all it's a bit Jarring to see no guns or even the likes of crossbow/bows in such futuristic setting. something like a hybrid weapons (i.e. rifle-spear, dual pistols - twin rigs, shotgun-staff, etc) would a good implementation for the overall melee focus combat system.

@ApexNYC 4 года назад

Amazing game and i totally agree with you.Hopefully part 3 will figure out a cool way of having meaningful melee combat alongside great gunplay.Something a bit similar to The Remnent of Ashes maybe as far as shooting mechanics.Never played it but i hear it's Dark Souls with guns.

@DJ-fn9zk 2 года назад

I mean I’d argue it’s ok as is in terms of ranged combat with the drone. Maybe denser customisation for them. But it’s really easy to pepper someone with both at once. Wish you could hold more ammo by standard tho

Played a few hours of the first Surge and this looks pretty good. One thing I've learned as I've gotten older is these precision based games become increasingly more difficult for me. Even though I can hold my own in the Crucible in Destiny 2, running consistently in the middle of the pack, I just can't really complete these games anymore.

@GtheMVP 4 года назад

17:22 Those three legged machines kept me from finishing Surge 1. They were so annoying, that when I reached the final area (I think?), and couldn't run past tougher iterations of them, I stopped playing. I had always intended on going back, but the thought of fighting them made me play something else each time. You basically had to stun them with your drone before being able to properly attack/damage them, which required you to power up your batteries each time. I'm so glad they fixed that this in this.

@jhyde2129 4 года назад

Thanks for another really good review. Been watching a lot of your channel lately. I really appreciate your thoughtful analysis and insights about story, game mechanics, and other details. You so clearly articulate what works, and WHY it works. But you also tell us what doesn't work - without holding back. You clearly put a lot of time and effort in your reviews - they are well-produced, entertaining, and consistently hold my attention from start to finish. With so many game reviewers on RU-vid, I've found your videos to be the most balanced, fair, insightful, and useful. After watching your reviews I feel like I can buy games with confidence, fully knowing what to expect. Patreon $ coming.

As good as the game looks and how the combat feels, having mediocre boss fights is going to be a MASSIVE point of contention for many people. Fighting mobs and exploring is important, but it's the boss fights that are where the meat is. It might be worth it, but I'll wait a bit more.

@Coco-vv8nf 4 года назад

compare to the first game the first boss in the surge 2 is...easy....putting it lightly.. The first game's boss was Aids and in my opinion a huge contributor to the hate the game received as it was a bit stupid how his hit boxes worked and then after him you do not ever face any bosses that do the same level of action he does until like the Wolf pack boss at the very end which just has replicas of the first boss in it.

@lruddy8820 4 года назад

personally for me i can nvr get into those action games where you push a button and the character does a huge swinging attacking or a spin attack or does something way more complex then just the real life action of pressing a button or pressing the same button three times for a combo like in monster hunter and doing 2-3 different looking attacks and always wished there was more of a control system like there was in the skate games (i kno you wouldnt get to look and move with both joysticks or mouse and WASD but it be fucking cool to run around and swing your mouse or joystick in a specific way to swing your sword in a specific way) in skate it actually felt like i was doing a pop shove it pulling the joystick down and bringing it around the side in the semi circle and it actually felt like doing a hardflip bring the joystick down flicking it to the side then flicking it again diagonally and if you didnt get the right motion down you didnt land the trick now thats what i wish action games where like

@jangiurg5295 4 года назад

For me the most important info is that the combat is re balanced and the environments have improved. I absolutely adore Soulslike games but I just couldnt get past the second area of surge because all the enemies would one shot you and it completely killed any semblance of fun, especially when combined with the super confusing locations where I did not even know where the heck I am and could never find my corpse again over and over. I am a bit worried about the performance part though, I have only regular PS4 and I assume its going to be even worse.

@kevinbroderick5002 4 года назад

I would try it again. You have to segment your path and focus on where you are going. Don't be afraid to meta if you don't know where to go. It is fairly easy to follow if you eliminate one path one by one and most lead to shortcuts that bring you back to the medbay. I finished the main game in 25 hours (few frustrating deaths) while playing with a light build, focusing on dodging and upgrading core power. I don't plan to take on NG or DLC but am considering this, Dark Souls 3 or Code Vein.

Are you sure there is a new game plus mode? Devs said it might not make it to release and will be included later.

I'm legitimately excited for this game, thanks for the review!

@qster4 4 года назад

Cool, glad to know that I'm not missing anything by skipping this game. First one I enjoyed at first and as I played more of it, the more I grew to resent it. The PS4 performance certainly enforces this decision.

@saintallison 4 года назад

Good call! It's similar enough to the 1st that you probably wouldn't enjoy it. Regardless the PS4 textures on character models are deadass PS1 quality and in the busier parts of the game I'm seeing screen tearing on the reg.

Great review! I was really hoping it would have some Multiplayer. Not just for the sake of it, but because I think a game like this would benefit of something like that. :)

@astralisoffthechain8588 Год назад

I was hoping for some Co-op in surge 2 at least a summon option to fight bosses together.

Seems like Deck 13 took some hints from the colleagues from Piranha Bytes, narrative wise.

Im not gonna watch but i had to leave this comment: as someone who holds the first game in incredivly high regard, this makes me so damn excited. I dont think the surge is THAT great a game, but i love it to no end because of what it represents. I played the Surge BEFORE i played LOTF and i learned 2 things from that: Lords of the Fallen is so bad it’s agony, and The Surge did everything right in terms of development. I legitimately could point for point kist how TheSurge addressed the conplaints about LOTF amd not only fixed them, but in some cases turned them into positives. Knowing through your affirmation that TheSurge2 has kept this trend of Deck13’s has me more hyped to pkay it than any amount of marketing and trailers could ever hope to achieve I look forward to coning back and watching this video in full probably like a year from now

@saintallison 4 года назад

I played LotF after The Surge also lol I found the environments and gear design really cool but otherwise it just felt off somehow and way too easy for it's own good. Surge 2 feels really similar to 1 but despite some gripes I have I can't stop playing it :) Hope you enjoy you, mate!

As far as performance goes on xbox I have had NO issues apart from a couple of really minor bugs such as a quest not properly showing as completed in the menu. (Still got the reward etc.)

@markwheeler4245 4 года назад

I have The Surge sitting in my PS4 PS Plus library and I haven't got around to downloading it to try it yet, just with PS Plus games my backlog is ridiculous, not complaining it's a good problem to have plenty to play:) PS I got A Plague Tale Innocence based on ur review mate and absolutely love it! 👍🏻

Lemme tell you about how cool The Serge 2 is. While running around an open plaza area, I found a hidden hallway off the beaten path covered in boxes and full of poison. I assumed that there must have been something cool at the end of this hallway if it had this much shit in front of it. I ran down the hallway, getting poisoned in the process and at the end of it I found nothing but an entrance to another area. I went through that and fount a small side area that was blocked off from this new area completely. Instead of a cool item I was told to go fuck myself. But that's not the end of my cool story. After I had gotten out of there and continued exploring the area, I died to some enemies and left behind a huge chunk of souls. I didn't respawn at the closest robot bonfire, instead the game places you at either the last bonfire you touched or the last place you transitioned into the area from. It put me back at the end of the ass poison hallway. With no heals stalked up to fight the poison and all the enemies respawned, I lost all my hard earned souls. Doesn't help that right outside the poison hallway are 3 guys: one melee, one with a gun and one that tosses molotovs. Fun game, really improved on the original.

Good luck criticizing this franchise. Apparently anything different than a triple A must be worshipped or you're some sheeple consumer that doesn't know any better. We definitely must praise mid tier developers listening to feedbacks but these guys had 3 games and still can't figure out a camera or work on a decent narrative cause they're too focused on copying dark souls style? Come on.

@AxxmorbidfloristxxC 4 года назад

I haven’t had many problems at all on PS4 pro aside from the texture bullshit which is sad, but frame rate seems to be 60 or close to it even in the nature reserve. That said I do have the game downloading on steam because I am kinda bummed it looks like borderlands 3 with textures not loading at all sometimes. Also the amount of tweakable stuff is actually impressive as hell for a console game.

My biggest problem with Deck13 games is the Physics. all of Deck13 Physics always feel floaty. they look the same this time around too. To me that is the largest problem they have.
