It’s a lot of fun. Pretty tricky too but not because of latency. The net code seems to be really good, in that I have not noticed a delay. The only minigame where it’s possibly noticeable is in the Egg capture game, where picking up the eggs doesn’t feel as immediate as it should, but it’s hardly bad. The platforming is 100%, no issues there.

Would you recommend playing The Surge 1 before 2 or just jump straight to 2?
I tried the 1st one for a bit before my hard drive crashed, but wasn’t really getting into it.

I don’t think it really matters to be honest. You might get a bit of better grip with the control mechanics but story wise I don’t think it’s completely necessary.

The first one is a pretty mediocre game and they fixed a lot of problems in the 2nd one. The 2nd one feels much more streamlined. The story does continue from the first one to some extent but overall I think you can skip it since there’s so many games out there.
However, have you played Dark Souls? I can’t remember if you played any soulslike games before and if not then rather go with the one that sparked everything because it’s amazing. @Beo starts drooling when he reads the name.

Bold words for someone who has not played Demon’s Souls. The true one that started it all.

I thought about Demon’s Souls but then Dark Souls was the one that made it famous. Also Demon’s Souls is an exclusive so @Viper can’t play it.

That’s debatable. If there was no Demon’s Souls there would be no Dark Souls. Also Demon’s Souls was only released in Japan but the game became so popular (famous) that it went to the rest of the world. But we can actually go back even further to King’s Field which some people swear is the origin of the series.
Either way, if he has a PC he can play it with very little hassle.
RCP3 is actually in a pretty good state right now and Demon’s Souls runs better using it than on PS3.

Ah cool, I must try that.

I have not. From what I’ve heard, it is extremely difficult and constantly dying isn’t really my thing. I do have Dark Souls here somewhere in one of my libraries though.

Currently playing Plague Tale. Should be almost finished with it and though I wouldn’t usually choose a game like this, this is surprisingly good.
I’m also trying Mutant Year Zero. I quite like it (after XCom, I’m more open to turn-based games), but it is buggy as hell. Crashes to desktop a lot. I’ll give it another go after Plague Tale.

If you don’t like dying then you probably won’t like The Surge 2 since it follows the same soulslike formula where you die a lot but it’s part of the progress. Hmmm I do find it a lot easier than the Dark Souls games though so it may be a nice entry point.
I really wanted to like Mutant Year Zero but played it about a third or so in and decided it’s not for me.

How is Man of Medan? I’m not a horror fan at all but I quite enjoyed Until Dawn which is from the same dev if I’m not mistaken.
