![]() With an expanded arsenal of weapons, armors, abilities, implants, and drones to build your character, and a bigger, more varied and more ambitious world, The Surge 2 challenges you to survive and unravel its hidden secrets. Fight its numerous, ferocious threats in brutal, unforgiving combat, slashing and tearing the limbs off your opponents to steal valuable equipment that will make you stronger - strong enough to face the most fearsome, imposing foes lurking in the city. In a bid to survive, explore the sprawling, devastated city of Jericho. Armor-clad soldiers enforce Martial Law, robots are on a rampage, and a dark, expanding nanostorm looms over the cityscape. You wake up weeks later in a derelict detention facility inside the city. Armor-clad soldiers enforce Martial Law, robots are on a rampage, and a dark, expanding nanostorm On the way to Jericho City, your plane is shot down by a mysterious storm and crash-lands in the outskirts. Summary: On the way to Jericho City, your plane is shot down by a mysterious storm and crash-lands in the outskirts. ![]() I hope they pick it up from the first installment and avoid the God Mode trap. ![]() If the company lives long enough to pick this franchise up again or if someone else does. Did not move in the direction I had hoped. One of the few souls like I can stand for some reason. Then install them and and either backtrack or play from the beginning. They want portals? They can have them."īest experience is the base game without dlc's. At that point it was just a "give the people what they want. tv ad worked great.Īnd I also liked the western dlc though that was a shorter jokester of a dlc. Figure there had to be a better way to portray the parks existance somehow. Absolutely hated the splashed on walk in the park ads in the game though. A lot of time and effort went into that One. The actual details of the world is so much better so it sucks you in. Not sure if the AI and it's use of metric data to read the world had a part in the flaws of the second One but it sure as heck would be funny if that was a part of the issue. The devs lost themselfs a bit when they made the second One. You will be frustrated with parts in both games, and you will find joy in both games. If you have a soft spot for science-fiction and lore in your games and like the way the, for example, SystemShock2-levels felt, then by all means try out 1. TLDR: If you just lost a bet to play the game or just want to be done with it as soon as possible, then play 2 and don't look back, it's the better game. But it will be a slightly worse experience gaming-wise than 2 and can only be really recommended if you don't care about playing 75-ish metacritic score soulslikes where lots of things are handled nicely, but some things are just not up to standard. The closest thing to the level-design of 2 would be Yharnam of Bloodborne with its multi-layered, winded cityscape that opens up to the player progressively - just to give you some idea. In its best moments 1 just feels denser, it just has fewer of these good moments compared to 2.ġ has that SystemShock/BioShock vibe where every new area is visually distinctively different from the one that came before, 2 is more 'dark soulian' in how it rebuilds a somewhat realistic world within its universe's rules. The story is basically directly continued in 2 from where it left in 1, so story-wise it indeed does make sense to get the first game done before the second.Īlso - if you bought the complete editions - the major DLC for 1 is miles above every other DLC in the franchise.Īnd while the level design is a two-edged sword in 1 with for example the tunnels and grav-shafts making you loose all sense of direction, in its best moments the level design in 1 is fabulously nice and more concise and to the point ( for lack of better words ) than in 2. The guy above me is completely correct, 2 is a better game in a vacuum and you can't go wrong with playing 2 first, then going to 1 if you still need to 'scratch that soulslike itch'.īut 1 does have some things going for it nonetheless. I too played 1 when it came out, waiting for 2 to be released afterwards.
