The surge 2 publisher7/7/2023 Since healing is tied to your battery, rather than a limited number of charges to be refilled at a save point, you are less prone to replaying stretches of each world many times to memorize attack patterns and build your way up to opening a new shortcut and making concrete progress. Forward progress feels very attainable, relative to other Soulslikes. These tweaks to the system, all combined, give The Surge 2 a propulsive pace. You also gain more “core power”, which works like a weight limit to force you into making choices about how to upgrade your rig. When you earn experience and level up, you gain the ability to upgrade one of three stats – health, stamina, and battery power. The systems pair well in that way: a deft player can size up their opponents, figure out what they want to get out of a fight, and how to get it without missing a beat.īetween fights, you’re taking the crafting materials and new gear, both from dismembered enemies and hidden item drops hidden around every corner, and using it to customize your cyborg “rig,” which includes your armor and “implants”, which include abilities and perks. At the same time, your enemies are more than capable of punishing you for forcing an attack or button-mashing. Your battery power, which fuels your heal and other injections, charges when you hit an enemy and slowly drains if you go too long without doing so. Don’t think too long, though: The Surge 2 rewards extremely aggressive play.
