A Dark Souls game with an exoskellet. Thus The Surge mentioned last year, and the Surge was a perfect combination. In this The Surge 2 preview you can read whether the sequel will just as well come off!

Just like in the first part you will take place in an exoskeleton and take on futuristic robots. And also this time the game takes place on a more dead than living globe. What is new is the setting, because that was the time for change.

Entering the city

In the first Insurgency game, the fighting mainly takes place on bare plains outside the cities. Every now and then you hear or read about how utterly grim it is in the former big cities on the earth, but these cities do not happen. In The Surge 2 this will change happily.

The largest of upcoming features is therefore the setting, because the battle scene will be a post-apocalyptic city. And the only way to make a city feel alive is by showing life in the new world.

That is why in The Surge 2 you will have more interaction with other survivors. No longer are you the only living (and normal) organism in the wider area, but you will see how other people try to pick up their lives again. Or at least try to adapt to the new reality.

Combat system

The combat will also go on the shovel. Where it rattled in the first part, the ambitions for the continuation are great. This way, different personalization options will be introduced so that you can perfect your favorite type of fighting style. All this without the game becoming too easy.

This way you can upgrade your drone to help during combat, but also use it to collect more health and bullets. Or you can choose to work hard at learning the perfect parry, so that you can deal with even the biggest enemies without too much damage.

It should be clear that it is the intention that you are forced to choose a specialty. Becoming a parry master and a tactical drone owner is of course the best, but the chance that you succeed is extremely small. And if you experience too many problems learning a specialized skill, you will always be able to return to a much higher level at a later time.

Choose the path that suits you

Just like in the Dark Souls games you can choose your own path. Most paths have a blockade in the form of a final boss, but if it is too difficult you can also walk away. Who knows, you might encounter an end boss in another area that you have less trouble with, after which you can go along with new equipment once again at one that did difficult at first.

Fans of the first The Surge game will also be happy to hear that the graphic aspect of the game is going to get a makeover. Deck13 also makes its own engine, which makes refreshing it a logical choice. Thus, the new, even larger world will look more beautiful and offers opportunities for other aspects in the game.

One of the biggest changes is the introduction of finishing moves on robots. Where in the first part you could do very little in that respect, The Surge 2 will allow such performances. If you shoot an enemy's leg that way, his complete fighting style will change, making it sometimes even more difficult for yourself!

Preliminary Conclusion

If you enjoyed titles like Dark Souls, Nioh and NieR: Automata, The Surge 2 will definitely have to be on your radar. Admittedly, the release of the game is not that far, but after the The Surge 2 preview we definitely want to throw controllers again and tooth-grinding our multiple must acknowledge in a final boss!

Thanks for reading.
