Maybe something's here, but I'll never know.

The Surge 2 lets you create your own husk of a protagonist and no matter what they're going to look fresh from a round of chemo. Poor KB+M controls for combat turned me off immediately and none of the opening weapons had any sort of weight to them. The directional parry is a nice concept that's executed poorly, in fact everything about this game felt like devs built it from bargain bin scraps.

Gave up pretty soon. Just rare for me to be this unhooked by a game's intro. I was bored and definitely not in the mood for a knockoff Soulslike. The coolest thing about this game (that I saw in my admittedly very brief stint) was being able to choose my character's backstory and being a criminal, but this of course meant nothing and changed zero, basically just headcanon for me to remember while I played.

Don't plan on coming back and I highly doubt I'm missing anything.
