The Surge 2

Deck13 doubles down on limb-cutting surgery

- Austin Taylor

Are you, for some reason, the sort of person who could never get into the Dark Souls games because they didn’t have enough dismemberment? If so, then Deck13 has its sights set on you with The Surge 2, which takes the machine-battling Soulslike away from an industrial estate and right into the heart of the sprawling, futuristic urban Jericho City.

Even without really knowing what’s going on, it doesn’t take you long to suit up with all the tools you’ll need for some truly hardcore combat from the police armoury, and begin chopping up bodies without much of a second thought. But shearing one part of someone’s body from another isn’t just a novelty. No, no, it’s perfectly justified – because you’re harvesting them. Which is really one of the best reasons there is to get slicey and dicey with a bunch of monstrous cyborg thugs.
