The Surge is the most badass game I’ve played all year.

The combat feels and plays great, and the change in setting is what the genre really needed.

Dark Souls in the future is as good as it sounds!
2762d ago
The new and different systems The Surge has introduced makes it an enjoyable and different experience.
2761d ago
A much better game than I ever would have expected.
2762d ago
Like Lords of the Fallen, The Surge is another rock-solid souls-a-like.
2762d ago
Every bit as infuriating, enjoyable and insanely gratifying as an action RPG of this type should be,
2762d ago
The Surge’s unique spin on combat and customization coupled with some tried and true gameplay mechanics from the Souls series coalesce nicely.
2762d ago
Subverting expectations is something The Surge is very good at - it’s not just a Souls clone with a lick of science fiction paint.
2762d ago
It washes over you, but it’s a refined wash, and the foundation for a great game to come.
2761d ago
Bugs and a weak narrative aside, The Surge is a much more confident take on the emerging Soul-like gameplay style.
2761d ago
The game’s limb targeting and Core Power mechanics coupled with its unique world create a fun experience.
2761d ago
The Surge struggles to present a compelling campaign, but delivers a fun new take on a familiar genre.

2762d ago
The Surge is still a good game regardless of its shortcomings.
2762d ago
The Surge offers an interesting world to explore, and a few new tricks that set it apart from the competition.
2762d ago
An even better Dark Souls clone than Lords Of The Fallen.
2761d ago
In our present-day world, the game's prediction of a violent worker-versus-worker future feels hauntingly plausible.
2762d ago
If this is Deck 13’s next step to building something truly great, it’s solid, if flawed one.
2762d ago
I didn't mind investing over 50 hours to the grind in The Surge.
2762d ago
It may seem reductive calling The Surge a sci-fi Dark Souls clone, but the truth is, it doesn't really try to be much more than that.
2762d ago
The Surge is an admirable riff on the Souls formula.
2762d ago
The Surge is a mix of interesting ideas and hiccups in execution.
2761d ago
If you’re desperate for a new Souls-style game and like the idea of the sci-fi setting, set your expectations low and you could totally enjoy The Surge.
2762d ago
Like that cyborg whose torso I severed, it struggles to stand on its own.
2761d ago
Everything went from being doable to insanely hard, grindy, and uninspiring.
2761d ago
The Surge is a huge step up from Deck13’s last outing, but there’s still quite a ways to go before it can become something truly special.
2761d ago
The Surge had potential, but its excellent combat systems are baked into a game that can’t do them justice.
