Finished The Surge yesterday, started 2 today and wow the combat is sick
Only 2 hours in so far and loving the spear the most, it's super swift and stylish and that arm execution is so satisfyingly brutal. The double duty was awesome too but didn't feel as good as the spear for me. The directional parrying is great, exploring the city is great and the game looks great.
One thing I do miss from The Surge 1 which people warned me about is the more claustrophobic sci-fi horror atmosphere, this game had some of those vibes in the tutorial section but Jericho is a far cry from how intense it was exploring the Creo facilities of The Surge.
Apart from that, seems like 2 is an improvement in every regard, even the first boss was better than half of The Surge 1s bosses lol. Looking forward to playing more!
