This game Supports Ultrawide Natively!
This game Supports Ultrawide Natively! Just throwing that out there for my folks with Ultrawide setups. That being said I'm about 6 hours in and I've just been grinding the first major level after a boss and having a blast. The new jump mechanics are delightful. I feel like the drone mechanics are an improvement over the last game. The limb removal and farming is very similar which I love. I just kinda fell back into it. It's a good challenge and the game looks pretty good as well. For a game to run well on launch day, support ultrawide resolutions, and be fun is sort of rare. And that the game wasn't $60-70 really made this a great buy for me. I love the setting, the focus on combat and exploration, and the mixing and matching of different armors, weapons, and playstyles. I think other developers could take some pointers. My only positive criticism comes largely from my friends wishing that The Surge 2 supported co-op. I bet it would take the level layout to another place entirely, but I will say that a game with these mechanics but with co-op sounds like a blast. Just throwing that out there. I was looking forward to this for months and I am so happy I had all my expectations met. I'm a happy nerd.

Hard to put down
If you see that mixed up there and you're concerned, the majority of the bad reviews are "Game would not open." or saying the game mechanics suck while at 0.4 hours played. This is not an easy game. You will have to learn. If you don't like learning and dying, just don't even try man. However if you're not someone like that here's my first impression. I really enjoy the way you get new equipment more than I thought I would. The executions are cool (Tho they aren't many) and I've enjoyed collecting various sets so far. The combat is a little confusing. I can't really tell what I need to do to confirm a stagger yet. Mostly how I've been playing is dodging and waiting for openings. The weapons are neat, however the game gave me these duel swords that stack a dot that does MASSIVE damage when the bar fills. It's just plain better than anything else I have. The worlds are big and pretty fun to explore. Most of the time your going to find a dead end with a path you can't access without a certain item. Like the EMP for example. Although perhaps I just missed it. One thing I will say is that the camera can be pretty annoying sometimes. Like as in your view will be in a wall or some random thing and that'll cause you to get hit because you couldn't see it coming. Other than that I'm enjoying it and I'm excited to progress further. If you're a fan of Souls likes than this is one worth picking up but perhaps on sale.

What a fantastic sequel
What a fantastic sequel. Even though I preferred the lonely feel of the first game, this sequel is superior in every way. The combat is still awesome. I had a high stamina build and was playing super aggressively, kind of like Bloodborne. Cutting off limbs and looting body parts is still a fantastic and unique way to gear up and really makes this game special. The armor designs are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awesome. Seeing a new enemy always makes you go "oh damn, i want that helmet" You can also do the same thing with boss fights and it makes every new enemy you meet extra exciting. The level design has a TON of variety. Cities, factories, caverns, parks, military camps; They really took the complaints from the first game to heart. The second half of the game can get a bit confusing and you'll probably get lost, but no major complaints. There's a ton of special characters this time and you'll meet some pretty good ones. I especially liked the Johnny Cage-like washed up actor who decides to be your sidekick. I wish I finished his quest so I can take his cool helmet. It's REALLY cool. Overall, there's a lot more humor and character this time. tl;dr It's an awesome sequel. One of the highlights of 2019. If you enjoyed the first game, you will LOVE The Surge 2.
