Raise your hand if you're a Surge fan
Krankshaw why watch this video then lol
gameranx there are quite a few rumors of you on a form of meth and benzodiazepines. Is this true? Can you deny it if it’s not? I hope not man.. there’s help if you need it.

I raised ur hand to 19
raatXgamer ok how?
Yo shoutout to the enemies that throw rocks at you despite being in a future city with mech suits. Way to keep old school guys.
He's trying his best
They do throw that rock mad hard tho.
No rigs? Throw a rock!

Never watching a ign review again after finding this channel
IGN is a bit biased anyways
Thats funny because this review and the IGN review of this game are not even different lmao.
Never trust their reviews they make bad ones
Dark Souls : praise the sun.
Bloodborne: praise the moon
Nioh/sekiro: praise the Kami
The surge: praise the spark
Praise your soul
Code vein: praise the blood
Demons souls : praise Umbasa
praise the Kami ? really? that is the best you could come up with ?
József Tógyer yay I don’t know much about either of those game or Japan to think of anything more relevant or creative. Please reply with your own suggestion
Dark Souls style: *Check* ......
Yeah, that's all the boxes I need to check.
true
😂😭
Doesn't come close to dark souls
When i think souls I think. Co op, invasion, covenants, bonefires, and the combat system.
Just give me a satisfying combat system and take my money.
Aways blown away when I discover some older obscure game and I jump right on RUclips to see if there’s a before you buy, thinking to myself “there’s no way they made one for this game” and bam, there it is in all its glory. Haha thanks so much for for all your content! Loving Surge, it’s like cyberpunk meets dark souls, love it haha
Thanks for watching our videos.
I cant second this enough
@d R you know what, I didn’t even realize it was only from 2019. My mistake, but I don’t think obscure is that far out of bounds. I don’t know anyone who has ever heard of this game, I stumbled upon it randomly on game pass. Fits my definition of obscure. I’m sure fans of this type of game knew about it, but I think this is still a pretty niche title.

The video game industry needs more "AA" developers/publishers 😃
Honesty, it'd be nice to diversify the mainstream market in a manner that benefits everyone
These mid-tier games are the only soulsborne substitutes, so as a die hard fan, I love the fact, that there are still developers out there, who are willing to take the risk
They are always good, usually a nice price. Where AAA games are really expensive and most of the time not worth the money.

A day later i got a pretty heartfelt mail how happy they are that i enjoy their game and so on
@LUKE SXHC indeed. This and the games seem to be passion projects.
I doubt it. It came out in a crowded games season so it may be ignored for a while.
I’m playing it first time right now, never played first and this game so far is amazing
Who's here after seeing this on game pass ?

Tooo on point 😭😭

I was about to buy it cause I'd just finished Nioh, so glad I checked gamepass haha.
I just started my first new game plus run, I really enjoy this game.
Please Rise for The Surge National anthem

SAME! ~
I'm really excited for The Surge 2. The first was one of the very few games I finished end to end without taking a hiatus.
Have to admit I bought the first Surge when the game had just released and loved it! Loved the DLC killing Candy and Pop have long since awaited the return. The return has not let me down currently at the end of NG+++ with the platinum trophy. I can’t wait for the DLC and a follow up.
0:57 Damn boy... that was a really long way to say "it's a Souls-like".
Because everyone still freaks out when you compare things to Dark Souls, even when it makes sense
@@gameranxTV Don't give in. "Soulslike" is a genre, not a comparison. Just as legit as "Roguelike" and "Metroidvania". You journalists are most directly shaping these cultural terms. In twenty years I don't want to say "deliberate action-combat RPG" when we all know we mean "soulslike."
It's more like let it die
@@_cthulhu5744 it is indeed more like let it die. Which is good.
@@gameranxTV git gud this game is on discount so i saw once it had cool combat better then 1st one so i will check it more with more videos to see if i loved it
Dark souls has an amazing world and lore, people seem to forget that is a big part of the series.
Agree not only that but these games suffer because they will always be compared to it and they fall short in all aspects imo
I’m not even trying to be a dick or that guy but that’s what bores me about dark souls, I know I’m in the minority but I prefer the world / setting and story of the surge
Also the bosses
dunno? It's really quite standard fantasy stuff with some deconstructionist elements that make it interesting- but *how its presented* makes the difference imo.
Souls games are basically lighter vs dark, you are dark but are lied to by light, chosen one story, *"Let's play with magic we don't understand, it will make us soooo powerful",
with pretty obvious results..
I love bloodborne, its story and themes and design by I wet my panties for nice dystopian Scifi with chara- creator, so I'm gonna get it
Mr50MEONE the world is just a city and basic looking one at that.
I can't explain gameranx, it's so freaking good
I actually enjoyed the first Surge.. Flawed but fun and Surge 2 just makes almost everything bigger n better.. Good stuff Deck 13..
Does it have any coop like dark souls?
@@geraltofrivia__w.w.7513 unfortunately not.. there are coop mechanics though.. remnant of the ashes is a great soulslike shooter coop game if Yu haven't tried that

@@sikevillian haven't played remnant of ashes, will look into it thx. Also, another similar coop souls like game is Nioh.
@@geraltofrivia__w.w.7513 no probb I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did then 😎 lol n yea nioh is an amazing game no doubt.. Sekiro is my favorite soulslike from this year though..
@@sikevillian hope they bring in co-op for the 3rd entry
honestly really underrated i recently got game pass and in my first playthrough legit put over 50 hours into it and now going thru new game plus mode I love how at the end it gives u stats for the entire playthrough n how u ranked sorta made me feel more accomplished and honestly its just fun haven't had a game this fun in a while I hope that in the 3rd game (hope to god there's a 3rd) that they keep improving stuff and get the story aspect good because to me that's the biggest problem I have with the game is the story
3:45 that parry into decapitation look really awesome. I'm sold!👍🏿
I love the Surge series so far. I gotta say that thisbwasba fantastic sequal and I can't wait for the next one or even spin offs if they decide. This game was faster than the first one, and I loved that they added some depth to the NPCs that you meet. The story was great and I kept craving to go back to it again. Possibly the greatest "souls-like game" out there. Something I had a problem with was that it was too easy toward the end, and I felt like I ended up using the same armor the whole time and leveling the shit out of it. I always end up trying to be light and mobile, but still ended up being a heavy player in the second half. But unloved the variety of weapons, the heavier use of drones, and the better use of the blocking system (the first had a dodge system that I didn't find intuitive and hardly used). I also liked how they gave you the option (again) to do away with these perks to favor other implants if you wanted them. Overall, I love this series and can't wait to see the next one (hopefully).
Nice live video earlier, really professional of you.
I’m happy they changed the story telling up, to an extent. Like you made it seem like they ditched the seemless camera environmental story telling but it’s still there. And by the end of the first game when the last dlc came out, you could tell what they were planning for this game as it retains some of the silliness that the vanilla surge lacked.
Also the combat is so fucking smooth and fun it immediately took my attention from borderlands 3 and I haven’t even had a thought about loot since last night
Just finished it - challenging at the beginning but so good once you get the hang of it
Fifteen hours in, thinking I've seen a lot of this emp44 starfish, wondering when I'll get it.
Turns out I missed out the entire of Port Nixon. Oops. On the plus side I was so ridiculously over levelled that it took about 30 mins.
Loved the first one so much, and pre ordered the second one, after this review I'm happy I made the right decision 😁
I just watched Alita Battle Angel and now I really want to play this
Jack A no
Unknowing Reaper what
Unknowing Reaper yes
Jack A holy shit I was like “what does this remind me of?” Anita battle angel! Now I want this game 10x more
Lmao
I honestly couldn't say better things about this game. It was a blast all the way through.
I did did greatly love the first Surge with the Walk in the Park DLC and my fave was the Single-rigged weapon types. Heavy Duty were nice too, for armor I liked the Proteus one. Definitely will Play Surge 2 as well
bloody proteus and asclepius are opaf in surge 1 with an energy/medivolt build
I miss the the song that played at all the med bays from the first one...
“You can not miss
what you have never seen before
but deep inside
you know there must be more.”
You will get a nice surprise in surge 2 trust me :)
@Lucid999 456 you can change the song too in your documents>my games area.
Loved the first game! This one isn't disappointing so far. A blast to play. Platinum here I come!
I recently got The Surge 1 in a discount and I think its a pretty awesome game, sad I cant buy this yet (I have to wait for a sale) but Im going for it for sure and hope developers get rewarded with big sales because this game is seriously underrated
they have it for 50. but pretty sure itl get discounted more. check slickdeals. sadly its underrated . ign dropped the ball on the review in my opinion . deserves at least 8.5 for me 9.5
Just dropping in on a 6mo old comment to say that it's on sale now, 4/1/20 on the Playstation Store for $23.99 - if you haven't gotten it already.
*Not an April Fool's joke
Thankyou guys for doing this as I’ve brough games from before you buy thankyou
Took me about about 3 or 4 times starting and restarting tje original Surge, but I finally figured out how to play it, grew to love it, and conquered it. Just picked up the second one and I am loving it! Way better than the first. Way more polished in regards to combat! Not as labrynthian seeming as fhe first, but hey, I'm still in the first section of the city at the time of writing this comment. Can't way to see the rest!
I’ll be getting this game soon. It looks great! I liked the bare bones story telling of the first so I’ll probably agree with you about the exposition in the sequel. We’ll see though.
IT LOOKS LIKE ITS AWESOME. I personally love the idea of adaption they shod do stuff like that more often .
On sale with all DLC for $8 on GOG right now, just picked it up and pumped to give it a shot!
My favorite armor and weapon was the Black Cerberus gear, between the badass looking armor and the finishers with the plasma axe, its what i remember most.
MG Judge v2.0 rocks. Fully upgraded just mows trough even the toughest enemies.
loving my URBN preorder gear XD black cerberus gear but grafittied with set bonuses from mg cerberus and black cerberus XD
I played and streamed the surge for the first time last month and I loved it, even did a new game plus which I never do. Started the surge 2 and while the combat is much better, I liked the dark horror atmosphere of the first one. I would love to replay part one with part 2's combat.
I love your videos please keep up the good work.
What's weird i just found this game in a stack of my sons' old games, he upgraded to PS5 so i got the older PS4 Pro of course lol and i am actually enjoying this old console i loved Lies of P so searching for other souls likes and this one fits the kind of game i am looking for and going to buy Blood Bourne soon and try that as well. Thank you for years of hard work, I am downloading now just wanted to make sure gameranx recommends this even 4 years later. lol
I played The Surge (first game) a TON. I got to NG+5 and had a bazillion implants (You can upgrade your suit to hold more each NG). You just feel godly at that point. My favorite weapon was single rig. Why? With Single Rig you could do a slide and slam attack. It was fun perfecting the slide and destroying everything in sight with it.
are there still elemental weapons in this game? in the first game i loved having the fiery sword
So far im really enjoying the entire GAIA armor/weapon set.
Using the nano and lynx sets and I've grown unhealthily atcahed to the GAIA spear it's at level 10 now
I was very impressed with the 1st game. I didn't buy it though, I just played through the ps4 demo, twice. I was addicted to Destiny at the time. I'll be getting Surge 2.
Nice video again Jake.
I just absolutely can't decide between this and Code Vein. 😁
Making decisions soon...
good "before you buy" content sir ! well done.
why do i think about cyberpunk when i see this game?
maybe its because its lookings or the upgrade station...
greetings
TommyTarkov
I need to pick back up on the first one. I got stuck on a boss and just put it down one day but I LOVED every moment of the game up to that point. Like Jake said, underrated.
Which boss? If you don't mind me asking
A tiny change that has made a huge difference for me = The finisher/Dismemberment button doesn't disappear because you had to dodge back 2 steps. Game changing lol Feels so much smoother now.
It looks like they added attack direction indicators like For Honor. Is that for help with parrying?
Loved the first search got stuck on a couple hard bosses and ended up not moving past them such a unique fighting style
Playing through the first one right now. It isnt perfect but it's a pretty enjoyable game. I think its slept on massively. Deck 13 did a good job.
Loving the new fist weapons. They hit a little harder than twin rigged but still give some nice attack speed and mobility.
I played the first surge a few months before this and surprisingly I really really loved it, among the many games in this genre it is one of my favorites ... so I was really looking forward to this but I was comparing it to the first surge almost all the time thinking how I liked that one better ... sure the story was missing and is better here but the random dude you create has no soul at least I remembered warren, the combat feels weird more complicated and less fun and fluid ... they really want to push the counter mechanic kind of obvious for many bosses, and I really dont like how they changed the limb cutting with that armor thingy, you need to pick a limb and only attack that otherwise you cant do enough damage to it to get that part ... just a lot of small things that were there because I knew the first game
I didn't finish the first Surge... Yet, but damn that game was good. Mysterious and a bit startling at times. I like how the character in the beginning seemed generally scared of what the hell was going on. That kind of gave you a sense of emersion. I did not want to die in that game in the beginning cause it was soooo creepy, but after like the 100th time and after you level up to be a bad ass, it grows on ya. lol
Haven't played them, but after hearing your thoughts on the games I think I'll pick them up sometime.
I'm here because of GOG - a sale, specifically. I played through the surge on PS4 Pro. I loved it, never got to play the DLC. Sold my PS4, built a PC; might as well pick up the surge 2 now.
bold of you to assume I didnt already buy it-
*laughs in bamboozled*
Do I need to play them in order or jump straight into part deux?
Just finished the surge 1 will be going into this one soon
Thanks for the Review , LOVE IT... Now I M DOWNLOADING THE SURGE 2 as I watching your video You made much more wanted , thanks Bro
I loved the first surge so much i platted it for ps4. The combat was so goddamn satisfying.
"The Surge 2 - After You Buy" title. is. fixed.
The first one was one of the best games I've ever played
I really liked the first game, I'm planning to buy it today thanks to a discount in the psn, really looking forward to this
I could never get into dark souls but I love the Surge series; this game is challenging and a ton of fun.
Finally, thank you jake
I knew I was gonna like The Surge 2 because I liked The Surge 1, but with more weapons and better exploration due to the new setting. I ended up falling in love with it once I saw the beauty of directional parrying
Surge was so hard but so rewarding with each fight. Great game.
Any advice what desktop to get to play this at full settings
I havent bought the game yet so can I ask if you can now recolor your armor cause I like mismatching parts even though they wont have effects anymore, and I still would like to know what happens to Warren cause after a walk in the park DLC Im very sure his next plan is to search for his girlfriend.
Never been a fan of Souls-like games, but the first Surge was a great title that still has me hooked. Got other games to finish first but this is definitely on my radar!
It is the best mix of fast and slow, and it is great to play for eight hours or just one, perfect for me it seems
I like the the story and lore elements but I agree about the picking the origin, I stressed over that for several moments, what does each one mean? How well it effect game play, and so far only the vendors like “oh your a so and so, I got a deal for you.” So doesn’t feel like the origins matter at all.
Couldn't agree more with this before you buy. Still a fun and great game but story elements leave much to be desired. Thanks for the great vids! Keep it up!!!
Archangel armor OP straight from the beginning
Honestly, played the original. Started speedrunning through it and ended up making it to the second last boss without dying. Loved the original, can't wait to play the sequel
Hi. Dose The Surge 2 have some similarity to games like Infamous Second Son or Prototype 2. Where there is possible to go free roam after finishing the main quest. Like go around in the city and collect and do some things. And not have to follow the game from point 1 to the end of the game, and then have to start from scratch with a new save.
You kann go evry were and fight allmost any one and gett killd by them
Great game! I kinda enjoy Deck13's soulslikes more than the games that inspired them. Surge 2 is a step up from the original in pretty much every aspect, but I do prefer the atmosphere and sense of isolation in the first game. Also, I'm not a fan of how they streamlined the implant system here.
surge 1 story was definitely more engaging BUT both games are worth buying. surge 2 was fun as hell too. can't wait for expansions
I’ve returned to finish the surge in preparation
And I finally got past the bit I was stuck at !
@@skmo7072 I am happy for you Sir.
HJM Benjamins i find it way harder then other Soulslike games...
I was hooked on the surge for months. Trying to get all the best weapons from all the bosses and finding hidden content. I loved the game and still do. Though I haven't played in awhile, I might have to jump back in and finally finish the DLC.
Man replaying surge 1 makes me really excited for 2 - those little glimpses you get of the world outside in Central Prod B - can’t wait to explore outside in the sequel
Just picked it up. Had to stop here for validation, but also loved the 1st. Platinum and all dlc trophies unlocked. Can't wait to dive deep into this...right now!
Got super hooked on dark souls and bloodbourne. Just bought this on sale on the ps store. Hope I like it
I wanted to love the first one but every fight was either you do a running attack on a weak part and trivialize the fight entirely, or you attack like 'normal' and end up getting smacked hard because the enemies don't get stunned unless using super heavy weapons. became pointless to do anything but running attacks, the entire game. even the final boss was trivialized by charging in and doing a two hit combo with twin rigs and then backing out until you had the stamina to repeat.
Basically every rpg
Skærs I think sekiro did well to make a few bosses not pokeable but true poking is the way to win but beating things with deflection feels so good
Iv been playing surge 2 all day its awsome, its just alot more surge and thats all i wanted.
Does anyone know if the difficulty is balanced this time? The first game is fairly easy and then you face the Cerberus which is insanely hard compared to the rest.
Huge Surge fan here. One of my favorite things to do was to collect all of the armor sets in the first game just to wear them and take cool photos. I also love the amount of work some of them took to get, and the surge 2 gives me so much more of that, all with a badass combat system and a new, interesting and varied world (although I actually liked the factory/industrial setting of the first game a lot). Instant 9/10 (for both games) with my only gripe being fighting the game’s camera and just a couple of the bosses feeling a teeny tiny bit boring
The fisrt surge game was alright but it was a little confusing at the end especially trying to find out how to open the nanite gate that leads to the boss and is blocked off until u find out how to unlock it
3:46 that was cool
This game needs coop, pvp and bonfires. Praise the Sun. 🌞

@@pessimisticpianist582 no co op? I need help, I'm too old for no mistake gameplay...lol
@@mikezbr Lol, it's funny you say that when your profile pic is of a little kid.
no
this game need coop i agree just cuz its more fun
Its worth buying just for the chance to ~Finally~ catch up to benjamin burke
The first surge combat wasn't the best and I felt like it was a endless farming for parts grind . Ok to scratch the souls itch but will probably get this game on sale or on gamepass?
might go back to the first Surge. Dark Souls is my favorite game, period, but I do feel a bit loath to replay 2 or 3 or to check out clones like Lords of the Fallen because the medieval fantasy setting seems to be such a predicable choice when it comes to this kind of game
Setup I used for first playthrough:
Weapon - Brother Truman's spear
Arms and head - chrysalis armor
Body and legs - spark galvanizer
Add implants to your liking. But that base will be able to easily carry you through the bulk of the game. I was able to facetank the final boss.
Any tips for the first boss warden?
@@joeyknight1989 if you back away from him a decent amount, he will do a jumping attack towards you. Dodge to your right when he does it, and you will have a decent amount of time to get a few hits in before he recovers. Back away and repeat. That early in the game it's a little tough to fight him head on. Also, remember to dodge when the red laser from his drone targets you. Just remember, if you constantly keep circling the room in a counterclockwise direction, and keep your distance, you can probably beat him without getting him. Just don't get too eager or greedy
The surge is amazing!!! Still playing through 1 though:(
Dude, the surge 2 isn't going anywhere. Take your time and enjoy the ride :)
In every single one of these he says "you know how these work" or some variation of it, yet continually describes exactly what a before you buy is
That's how it works.
@@FrameTheTime Are you God?
Because many people still don't know how before you buy works
Should I get this or get playing borderlands 3
the first surge i played a year later and was sad that i slept on it when it first came out cuz it ended up being one of my favorite games on the ps4
I might actually buy it at full price... I’m still finishing my first play through of the souls games... on 2 right now lol Once I finish 3 I’ll come back to the decision
