   Gran juego tipo souls. Se nota que han trabajado duro para sacar este proyecto que no tiene que envidiar en nada a un AAA.

It's not a AAA title in terms of voice acting, writing, story, length, or scope, but what it lacks in those things, it makes up for in a singular, enjoyable gameplay experience. I've ran into a lot of audiovisual bugs, and one quest you can break if you explore too much before meeting someone, but nothing that doesn't seem like a patch away from correction. All in all, this is a game about visceral, calculated combat, upgrading, and learning what playstyle suits your tastes over time. I wish the proficiency system wasn't scrapped, it was a rewarding way to earn your prowess. All said though, I've already pumped 20 hours in and am happy to keep playing. For all it's flaws, it has character and experience that's undeniable and genuine, and I love it.… Expand

But if you compare it to Dark Souls or Bloodborne... it is not that great. As a begining we have around 10 boss fight in the game. If we exclude regular humans, who are just stronger with more health and stronger atacks we have 1 boss which is repeated 4 times (their is even achievement, that we killed him 3 times) and one of humans which we fight 3 times. Than 2 of this bosses are just regular robots, which we met during the game, but with more HP and more damage. That is so repetitive and annoying, to see same bosses again and again. Combat is more or less fine, but parring is so annoying. I never was good in parry in games... and for sure I passed whole game without using this. But in surge 2, parry was moved on another level of annoyance for me. If you dont like it, just ignore it. What for me was really terrible is that actually it was never clear, where should we go. While in DS you have more or less some idea where to go and you just go forward and forward, in this game... you don't know do you need to go to park or to port or somewhere else. As well because, there aren't any adequate fast travel, there are a lot of shortcuts. While somehow that was pretty nice in Surge 1, in Surge 2 locations are like labyrinth for me. In port nixon I never can't remember where the hell I should go. And because there isn't fast travel, when you go back to some area it is a bit terrible. Quests... they was never strong side of DS like games... this is not changing here. It is a bit more clear what quest we have, which actually is good, but anyway they are mostly boring and not interesting to do. Reward is pointless in general. Game is significant shorter than From Software games for sure. Upgrade system is pretty messy most of the time. If you don't go to grind your upgrade parts and don't search somewhere what kind of armor you can have and where to get it, you would play half of the game naked on level 1, without finding any component. On other hand around level 7 you may found few great location, where you can grind components as much as you want. For level 8 was similar, but for level 9 wasn't clear where exactly I should farm components and level 10 In my opinion was not accessible at all. Last level before final boss was filled with level 7,8 mobs, very little 9 and few 10, which drop no parts in my opinion. For me this system is pretty messy and complicated somehow. If you dont pay attention in it, you will just be without armor and better weapon. While most people I think don't want to grind their upgrade materials. This is not what is interesting in souls like games. In Surge 1 it was less complicated I think. Somehow npc levels rise with levels and your level in general. I never feel forced to go to previous area to farm upgrades, because I was too low level. For example in DS, you just found better sets and from items which you find around levels, you can at least build 1 weapon and have 1 armor set which suit you. Yes, in DS you as well could farm upgrade materials, but this was so optional. 1 thing which for me was improvement, that when you die and you need to recover your scrap, timer is increasing with 20 second for every enemy on your path. As well it heals you to max once you pick them. This is for sure important if you die on boss fight. As well something which is better than DS: in surge it is much more clear what is the story and what is happening.
   In conclusion: somehow surge 2 feels for me a bit worst than Surge 1. Surge 1 was my first souls like game, and after it I have passed through DS1,2,3 and Bloodborne and maybe I have bigger expectation... but anyway Surge 2 for me is somehow lacking what is making souls like games that good and interesting. But it is not bad game, you could spend few hours. Maybe take it on sales.… Expand

   Loving The Surge 1 for its dark dystopian atmosphere, and gritty writing, i can´t help but wonder if some people in the team were replaced forLoving The Surge 1 for its dark dystopian atmosphere, and gritty writing, i can´t help but wonder if some people in the team were replaced for the surge 2.
   this is not an unbiased review, but represents the things i miss in ts2 that i loved in its predecessor.
   the writing is pretty bad, dialogues are hilarious in a bad way and npc´s are a joke.
   i remember the irina questline very fondly, up to the point that makes me wanna say it was engaging in a way i rarely experienced before. i really cared for the characters in general. scrap lady, maddy...all of them.
   in ts2 npc´s are questgivers at best, the less you talk to them the better, it makes me wonder if the devs didn´t appreciate this quality of the first game at all, or the person responsible simply left the team and someones nephew with no writing skill chimed in. the sparky followers? b. please.
   design also went into a direction, i simply cant understand. in ts1 everything was dark and depressing, while that colourful neon city in ts2, with its perfect weather, rather invites sunbathing, than doing what needs be done...chopping up maniacs.
   it is a fricking disgrace.
   that all being said, combat looks amazing, but is that enough?… Expand
