Deal | This RPG with souls-like mechanics, beloved by gamers, is currently 90% off on Steam

RPGs and soulslikes are known for their difficulty and punishing enemies, often requiring several attempts to defeat them. They also immerse players in fictional worlds, such as The Surge 2, developed by Deck13 Interactive and released on September 24, 2019. And it is currently 90% off on Steam, available for $2.99 instead of $29.99 until March 4, 2026, according to SteamDB.

This RPG takes place in Jericho City, when your plane is shot down in mid-flight by a storm and crashes nearby. You wake up after several weeks in a coma and notice that the entire city is controlled by soldiers and robots. In this dangerous world, you will have to survive by facing many dangers. A wide arsenal of weapons and equipment is at your disposal, as well as special abilities and gadgets that will help you gain the upper hand over your opponents.

The fights are brutal and difficult, and you'll need to implement various strategies to defeat each creature that stands in your way. In addition, you'll be able to collect valuable equipment from your opponents to upgrade your gear and become stronger. You can also upgrade your character according to your own style thanks to the many skills available.

A game with qualities... and flaws

The Surge 2 gets 75% positive reviews out of a total of 9,000 reviews on Steam. On Metacritic, its Metascore is 76, but its user score is 6.2. The gameplay is highly appreciated, in particular for its varied fights and the possibilities that are available to you, but there are several issues to note.

Some players were underwhelmed by its universe and its story. The game is also very poorly optimized, as many players complain about performance and optimization issues. Furthermore, although it is currently 90% off on Steam, this is not a rare offer for this game, as similar offers have taken place over the last two years. And its current price corresponds to its lowest price, which was reached on November 24, 2025.
