I really enjoyed the first game and i felt this one was a little short and a dozen issues on launch but I enjoyed the story, completed once and over again with newgame+ and had a very decent time. DLC is way overpriced tho
The Surge 2 takes some good ideas from the first game and really polished them up. My take is that The Surge trades an interesting world and level design for a more involved combat system, and depending on your priorities you may enjoy that.
