While it’s easier to beat enemies by unleashing attacks on their ungeared parts, targeting and dismembering geared ones yield schematics and materials needed to craft that specific gear, which you can then use for yourself. This fight introduces the limb-based combat system. This is denoted by the blue marker, while the geared ones are marked with the yellow ones – switching between them is done by targeting, then switching targets with the right joystick. Since many of the enemies in The Surge 2 are equipped with gear rigs on different parts of their body, it’s important to know that they are generally weaker on the parts that don’t have gear. If you’re new to The Surge in general, this battle also teaches you the limb-targeting system. It’s not too hard, but you do have to time your attacks a bit owing to the fact that your twin-rigged knuckle starting weapon isn’t as fast without a RIG. You can’t really dart around by dodging, since you don’t have a RIG yet, and so it forces you to time those blocks really well, or just move out of the way whenever Vic does a wide swing with his big hunk of a weapon. This is the true first test of combat, and overall, I found it to be very engaging and slightly more fast-paced than what was possible in The Surge. Literally unhinged, if you get what I'm sayin'. After a bit of walking around, I encountered the game’s first boss, an unhinged criminal known as Violent Vic, who happens to hold the keycard for the Medbay which has the RIG you need. Wielding a RIG allows one to do enormous feats of strength, and can be fitted with various gear and implants to help you on your journey. In order to do so, you need a RIG, which is an exoskeleton of sorts that’s prevalent in the world of The Surge.

You’re given your first side mission, which is to free him from a cell. It is a bit funny to find him here now, in the flesh, and I can’t wait to see how his questline plays out, seeing as he actually has one now. There are a lot of players of the first game who kept wondering if he was a missed opportunity for a questline, when in reality he’s not even a big part of it. Bit of a background first – Burke was a big red herring in The Surge, as his voice recording was used by another NPC, Sally, to lure Warren, the game’s protagonist, to an area in the CREO facility. I actually snorted out loud when I met the guy, mainly because of his context within the first game. Inside the main prison block, you also meet one of the game’s NPCs, who also happens to be a returning character from The Surge – Benjamin Burke. Oh hey, it's that guy from the first game. You can check out more on the character creation here, as well as some thoughts I have on the game’s new multiplayer elements.

I felt that it had a lot of potential, and I was pretty excited when plans for a sequel were announced.Īfter checking out what The Surge 2’s beta build has to offer, and after playing it to death for more than ten hours, I’ve come to the conclusion that not only is it a worthy successor to the original, it also carved quite the name for itself to the point where I’m no longer looking at the game as a Souls-like, but as an otherwise amazing ARPG that can stand on its own merit.įirst off, you know immediately that The Surge 2 is vastly different from the original, thanks to a character creation screen shown to you after starting a new game. I was lucky enough to get to play a small, partial build of the game, which features several areas in the new Jericho City setting, a couple of the human bosses and, most importantly, a closer look at the vastly revamped and improved combat system.ĭespite its overall jankiness and somewhat lack of polish, The Surge is easily my favorite out of all the titles that were released following in the same vein of gameplay as the critically and commercially successful Souls series.

One of my most anticipated releases of this year is Deck13 Interactive’s The Surge 2, a sequel to their sleeper hit Souls-like title The Surge, which came out back in 2017.
