74/100🔴Niche / Inactive🥇Proton GoldPlayStation 4PC (Microsoft Windows)Xbox One

The Surge 2 keeps what fans and critics loved about the original while also expanding greatly upon the formula. The Surge 2 takes place in a brand new environment: a sprawling, devastated city with larger, more ambitious level design and improved engine. Combat is more brutal and tactical than ever, with even more options thanks to an expanded limb targeting system.
