A fine souls-like. Definitely not as challenging as any of the from soft games, but can still pose a fun challenge. Devs did improve on the formula of the original game, like remove the bullsh*t weapon proficiency stat, introduce new weapon types. But what was a definite downgrade for me, its the main character him self. In the first game Warren (your character) had a personality, a voice, something you can connect to. In this game you get none of that but what you can do is to customize the appearance of you character, something i could not care less about. By the end of the game i have completely forgotten how my character looks underneath all that armor. Overall a great game, would recommend for any souls-like enjoyer.

This game is like a love letter to bloodborne. It ditches the more defensive playstyle of Dark souls / Elden Ring for a much more aggressive trading blows approach to combat. And for someone like me who didnt really click with Elden Ring this game gets combat right. Hits are punchy, with a lot of weight and impact (more or less depending on your chosen weapon) It also utilizes a directional parry system which seems odd at first (imagine for honor) but is absolutely addicting once you get the hang of it. Exploration is very well done in this game at first you might think the map to be rather small but theres so many layers, little corners and a lot of verticality that you can easily spend up to 7 hours before doing anything main quest relevant while also frequently providing the satisfaction of a new shortcut, a side quest or similar. The way you gain new armor is also a very big factor that kept me from always looking forward to seeing more, as someone whos only in it for the fashion the armor system can be a bit frustrating because everything is based around building "sets" for thier respective 3 piece and 6 piece set bonusses. Although i ended up just rocking a set of armor which i just picked for looks for a good portion of my playthrough i was very happy that towards the end i ended up mixing 2 3 set bonusses together for a fun electricity based build. The finishers where still fun and i only saw a tiny amount of them (theres 1 for each targeted limb, for each weapon type so its a lot) All in all without rambling on too much i hope someone reading this can tell is that i thoroughly enjoyed my time with the game and i dont wanna spend too much time gloating about all the aspects i like about it. If youre a fan of a quick semi gritty action rpg with meaty combat give this one a go. i did 54 times in my roughly 41 hours with the game with only one boss requiring more than 1 to 2 tries so dont worry too much about the difficulty ( i didnt even put a lot of points into HP and ony started to get two shotted by 1 enemy with a very specific attack towards the end ) If youre looking for punishment like Nioh this isnt for you but if you just wanna vibe, have a good time while playing some bloodborne light, have at it. Its definetely worth a good 20 bucks (imo everything up to 35 would be a good bargain still) Dont bother with the Dlcs though, apparently they are either completely unnecesarry cash grabs or not that great (the story dlc from what i read)

Getting 100% was... Interesting but frustrating due to frequent technical issues. approximate amount of time to 100%: 40-70 Hours Estimated achievement difficulty: 6/10 Minimum number of playthroughs needed: One (Main game + Dlc + NG+ intro comic) Multiplayer achievements: No. Missable achievements: Yes. Many, The point of no return is clearly marked tho. Point of no return: One, clearly marked. Grinding Achievements: A bit. Crafting the 20 full armor sets requires a lot of components DLC-Only achievements: /!\ YES /!\ . 10 achievements do-able in the DLC (Kraken) only. Time-gated achievements: No. Speed-run achievements: No. RNG-achievements: No. Is there a good guide available: cas's "Surge 2 achievement" guide on steam helped me a lot. Does difficulty affect achievements: No difficulty choice. First achievement unlock: Acquiring an Exo-rig 5 minutes into the game. Notes: * After the end of the game you have the option to return to the last save point instead of going to NG+ * The frame-rate dipped into the low 10's on a PC better that recommended settings, especially when the game was loading new areas. (But sometimes in combat as well) I'm almost convinced that they had only junior level-designers create the layouts. This convoluted knot of level-flow is what you get when your level designers haven't realized that "less is more" and are still trying to prove something. This is especially true for the underground area and AID command. Otherwise the game was interesting, the limb cutting and crafting was satisfying, and the story hit on some unique points. Despite the presence of DLC achievements I enjoyed this game with all it's flaws. So it's over the line for recommendation but never at full price.
