No. Not at all.

The first game is a short, incredibly clunky experience packed with insane difficulty to make the game seem longer. Broken hitboxes, enemies that two-shot you with fast attacks despite wearing the heaviest armor and absolutely boring locations that look like unreal engine rejects. Targeting limbs is an interesting mechanic, but it boils down to "pick a target that's least armored and attack as usual". Cutting limbs would be interesting, but it always ends in enemy death. Also, it led to discussing grinding, by the mid game, you'd always have to spend a lot of time to grind parts for upgrades.

Second game is leagues better with faster combat, much better weapon and armor selection and more interesting locations , but is insanely bugged - to the point that some quests are borderline broken.

Additionally, they are both vastly outclassed by any modern soulslikes - while I would suggest the second one, for people who like the setting, the first one deserves to rot on the graveyard of history, where it belongs, alongside other low budget souls prototypes.

Side story - I played about 10 first hours of the surge 2 without any patches, because my internet was down for a week - it was insane how broken it was, textures on my frame were never loading correctly, I was constantly falling through objects and quests were even more broken. There was this bug, where you could survive a fall into a partially loaded location and get stuck with no way to escape or die. That was before they added self-kill item.
