It's an improvement over the first game, but not significantly.

Copied and pasted from The Surge 1 review:

An attempt at making a game similar to Dark Souls, but with dismemberment.

It was a decent attempt. The sequel is definitely an improvement in every way.

The combat, which is certainly the most important aspect to nail in a game like this, feels a little floaty and not precise enough. The way you explore the levels and find shortcuts is a little too straight forward/literal, but hey, they tried. It's still worth playing, if you're a huge fan of the way From Soft designs games.

It's an example of not being able to get enough. I enjoyed this game because it was at least trying to be a game I'd love.
