I didn’t really get on with The Surge. It felt like it took inspiration from the wrong elements of the From soulsbornes at times. It fetishised difficulty because they mistakenly thought that was the key point of Souls games, but it wasn’t balanced well and so unlike Souls, it frequently felt unfair.
This sequel at least sounds like it acknowledges that. And also character creation is very welcome. It seems like a silly detail, but I do think Soulsbornes like Nioh and The Surge do lose out a lot because of its omission.
I’ll keep my eye on this one.
