Edit 2: Just beat the game. The boss was a joke. Not only the easiest boss in the game, but completely underwhelming. This game felt so pointless, why? The Surge 1 was so much better of a game.

Edit: I have played this game a lot, but I am still not changing my recommendation. This game does NOT look good. The lighting it terrible. The first game was better, tighter. Also I stopped counting crashes around 35. I am sure it has crashed more than 40 times. A lot of people are getting the same type crash, some vulcan error. No patch. No fix. I can't support games that aren't beta tested before launch. My crashing is just one of ten differnt major issues people are running into that make the game unplayable or extremely frustrating to play. If this game didnt save almost every 15 sec, there is no way I would have been able to keep playing after so many crashes.

Stay away from this game until they fix it and patch the living daylight out it. I loved Surge 1. I even gave copies away to my friends that loved dark souls but were not sure about it.
I bought this game on Day 1 because I wanted to support this dev. There is so much wrong with this game, the help forums is already 47 pages deep with a 1000 differnt errors and problems that we are all having, The first patch did nothing to help me and most other people.

First thing the game is unplayble. It has crashed 7 times in 2 hours. 2080ti with up to date drivers. Keep getting vulkan command run error.

Aside from that this game looks horrid. The lighting/gamma/saturation/brightness is terrible. It makes this game looks far worse than the last one. There is no gamma correction in the game, but it cranked up to max. If there is something bright in the background for example, the your character and any other are bascily just black blobs. You can be standing in a room where on area is FAR too bright and oversatured, and then where it should be just a little dark, is totally pitch black. Even in this case, the gamma is cranked to 11 so there is a hazy white film bloom to everything.

I hate that I can't recomended this game.
