#THE SURGE 2 PS5 FULL#
Like the base game, there’s little about the story here that intrigues or surprises, but for those who want the full plot, scattered audio logs can expand on the narrative and fill in some blanks if you take the time to find them all. As you make your way across and inside the ship, you work alongside a woman who guides you to your objectives and assists you in your goal of reaching CAIN to destroy him. Krakow, a beached military vessel taken over by a sentient machine known as CAIN. The Kraken is accessible midway through the campaign, taking place entirely on the V.B.S. This makes it all the more unfortunate that its only planned post-launch DLC, The Kraken, is little more than a forgettable add-on that does absolutely nothing to expand on the base game. And while neither of the two games released thus far have lived up to the standards set by FromSoftware’s offerings, I still found The Surge 2 to be a moderate improvement over the original thanks to excellent changes to healing, new ranged attack options, and some slightly more varied environments to explore. The Surge series has nestled itself into a corner of the Souls-like ring where it’s comfortable adapting the things that make the genre so magnificent while inventing new and intriguing concepts to set itself apart.
