Having never played the original ‘The Surge’ and, upon reading into it, finding out that it was dismissed by some as a Dark Souls clone, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect from the Surge 2.
After spending several hours with it, I was surprised to find that, whilst it does come from that genre of difficulty being a focused gameplay feature, it’s a really strong and involving example of the style that absorbed me far more than I was anticipating.
