I save scummed my way through the first because I felt the difficulty was a little punishing for the first half of the game. Once I got the mechanics down I restarted and played it legit, for me combat came down to just jumping in and out for a couple of hits, or just one, wash rinse repeat. I like sci fi games though, I like a sci fi Souls’esque game and want more.

I will be playing this, most likely, unless it gets trashed. I liked lords of the fallen too, however I got it for free a year or two after release so my experience was well patched. Lords of the Fallen was better than Sekiro, so was The Surge.

Definitely looking forward to it. I didn't pick up the first game until it was free on PS+ and wished that I'd paid full price for it.

He is playing it now. First 3 chapters (estimated 6ish hours).

Likes
- Better level design, more open areas
- Combat is better. Now has status effects and such (electricity for stun and so on)
- Can charge multiple heals
- Guns
- Smoother, and a bit faster than the last game.

Dislikes
- Can't switch body parts anymore while doing the execution. Then it cancels and the enemy can hit you.

My negative - The timer for getting your scrap back is still there.

I still haven't played the original, going to before 2 releases tho, is free w/ PC Gamepass if anyone like me hasn't played it.

It’s worth a play through for sure. It’s a little shallow, gear wise, but a nice Souls-like game with a decent plot.

It was free from ps+ a while back too. I've been thinking about giving it another shot before the sequel. Does the Gamepass version include the paid dlc? I'll probably go with ps4 if not, since it's a gamepad game either way.

Ya, I grabbed it for PS4 as well but no way I won't crank it out on a PC instead.
