All in all, I'm leaving a positive review cause despite all its problems the gameplay was still enjoyable, but I wouldn't say it's one of the greatest soulslike games I ever played.

The Surge 2 is a really worthy sequel of the first chapter, improving on all fronts and delivering a satisfying, challenging souls-like experience sure to please fans of the genre, I recommend playing the first game before this one to have a better understanding.
Audio
