It's the metroidvania with the most beautiful graphics I've played.
Gameplay is meh and story is absolutely horrible riddled with typos.
It's also one of the longest games I've ever seen (TOO long) and you'll have to force yourself to play it to the end like I almost did.

I recommend it on sale.

It's a very fun and addictive game (like someone else in the comments said, "Factorio meets Forage").
Late game becomes too grindy and I had to stop playing because the game was stuttering too much from all the machines in all the islands, plus I couldn't find out what I had to do to progress.

It's not a bad game in itself but the surge 1 was much better.
This one has bugs where some quests cannot be completed and they lock you out of the good ending. I even lost hours of progress once because the game didn't save despite telling me it was saving, multiple times.

Story wise, it's so much worse. Graphics also have a ton of issues with lighting. Gameplay is also much much worse. You will also spend half your time backtracking, lost, having to look it up on google like hundreds of other people.

The Surge 1 is MUCH better and I cannot recommend this.

Performance so horrible I can't play even with a GTX 1660 Super

Fun for an hour - maximum two. You do the exact same thing the whole game until you get bored.
You don't follow a story nor do you work towards a goal. No new gameplay elements are introduced at all.

Very fun game, and cute graphics.
You grind dungeons, get loot and sell them in your shop.
You upgrade your shop and town and progress through the story.
I took my time and finished the game in about 25 hours.

It does get very repetitive halfway through the game.

Same as the first and the second game.

It crashes every 2 minutes. I can't play.
From what I found in the discussions, the base game tries to load assets from the DLC even if we don't buy it.

Fun game. Reminds me of a game I used to play called "Dark".
It's a nice shooter with some super powers where you follow the story.
Unfortunately this is a sequel and you can't play the first one since it never came to PC.
It's about 8 hours long + some side missions called vendettas and a new game + where you can either play from the start or specific chapters

Too repetitive. There's no ending or progression. It's just the same thing over and over forever until you get bored.
