Deck 13 learned from this mistake, and this time you’ll have to pay closer attention as you have to not only break their armor in order to sever the targeted limb, but you’ll also have to ensure you don’t do too much damage or you’ll kill the enemy and you’ll miss out on getting parts for your gear crafting and upgrades. The easiest trick in The Surge was to attack an enemy where they were unarmored, and then quickly switch so you could execute them and sever whatever limb you needed.
The surge vs the surge 2 upgrade#
As you fight tougher enemies, the pieces scavenged are higher tier which allows you to upgrade your gear from Mark I to Mark IV. Each limb will give you the schematic for whatever set of armor they were wearing, and subsequent severings reward you with pieces that you can use to craft said gear. It’s not quite as instantly gratifying as you’re used to in other Soulsborne games, as you won’t actually get to immediately equip anything other than the weapon you pick up. Each enemy has a targetable set of five body sections - Head, Torso, each Leg, and each Arm, and through targeting specific body parts, you’re rewarded by obtaining their gear. This makes for a much more interesting experience, and I believe more people will find the city more inviting than the drab and dank warehouse settings of CREO’s past.Ĭombat in The Surge 2 is largely the same as it was in the original Surge. The few outdoor sections are where The Surge shined, and The Surge 2 makes up for that by primarily letting you thrive within the confines of Jericho City, a decently open-world type of metropolitan hub, where you explore the sketchy alleys and all too empty rooftops, only venturing indoors to clear pre-determined dungeon type settings. In the original game, you were mostly confined to an indoor hell of greys, blues, and yellows - clashing an ultimately forgettable mess of steel beams and metal pipes against concrete walls marked by yellow caution markings.
That said, crash landing into Jericho City does immediately eliminate a lot of The Surge’s fan complaints. Warren being the first wheelchair bound hero that I remember playing really caught me off guard from the first playable moment in The Surge and I had hoped to see something similar kick off the sequel. The Surge 2’s plane crash should have the same type of impact, but it’s so cliche that I barely even gave it a second thought. Of course, he’s only wheel bound for the first few minutes of the game before he’s violently affixed to his EXO suit when joining CREO’s forces, the emotional response I felt as I quickly realized this guy was volunteering for something dangerous just for a shot at a better quality of life resonated with me. Warren was, at least in my memory, the first playable main character who was in a wheelchair. When looking back at The Surge, the main character Warren wasn’t much more exciting than another protagonist whom people love to hate (looking at you Aiden Pierce from Watch Dogs), but his character arc starts out with a big surprise. Some people look like psychos from Borderlands and Mad Max refugees, and none of it is really explained, cause why would a crazy person set up exploding spiders aimed at you while military and police forces are just around the corner who also consider you both equally threatening. You can make your character look as normal or as weird as you’d like and it doesn’t even matter because the characters mostly confused as to what they want to dress like. This character is unnamed and customizable, but honestly about as bland as you can get.
The Surge 2 starts out as you witness a brutal plane crash that leaves no survivors - except for you, because of course, the main character has to be the lone survivor.
