The Surge

too freakin hard for me. :( The game has a cool setting, diverse weapons, and moves, and the executes are VERY cool. That said, the run backs are brutal and the game in general is super punishing. I recommend for very experienced players.

Very underrated Souls-like. The combat is super satisfying especially with the crazy looking finishers. The setting and story is really interesting too, but my main complaint is that since most of it takes place in a big factory, a lot of the scenery looks the same which makes it REALLY easy to get lost. However, I have a horrible sense of direction so maybe that's just a personal problem! It was well worth the $8 or so that I paid for it.

[h1]Unnecessary[/h1] Looks good, works generally well (optimization is great), but it's a slow repetitive souls-like mecha game. So boring, so poorly written, so unentertaining. And the hitboxes are often mile away from you, so dodging is purely random. It's not bad, it's just bland.

I stopped playing this game because it was frustrating rather than challenging. The game mechanics are unique, as enemies can be attacked on each body part and you can loot armor from each body part. The downside of this game is the clunky parry and dodge mechanics. Furthermore, the vast map actually feels confusing rather than sparking curiosity to explore further. I’ve played "Blasphemous", which also features a vast map that players must unlock through exploration, but at least that game was still fun. In "The Surge", however, that aspect turns into frustration instead of curiosity. My personal rating: 6/10

一坨又臭又苦的屎，抖M来玩的游戏，苦是有的受的，正反馈是没有的，小怪数值是一坨屎的，地图是没有的，一张地图就只有一个篝火的，防御反击就是个笑话，耐力消耗一堆，反击伤害还不如平A，每次玩每次破防，我给你过很多机会了 刷魂刷了半小时，核能量拉到46，搓了一个天使套，还是脆的一批。拿个boss武器，伤害还是刮的，敌人拿两个牙签都能两刀干死你的，纯受苦，不知道正反馈在哪？就个外骨骼机甲皮有点意思，中看不中玩的玩意

the mechanics of the game are too obtuse, the second attack of a string locks you into a 2 attack animation, defensive abilities like ducking and jumping are clunky and difficult to use (requiring a button and a joystick), the story is cool and wanting to know more kept me going but every once in a while I would just die to a low level mob because it randomly did an attack series that I couldn't interupt and it would kill me. its not fun, there was never the feeling of "this area is challenging, now I got more powerful, now this area is fun" it was just a slog the entire time.

A paraplegic undergoes LOBOTOMY, wakes up in a needle infested junkyard with a MEGA hangover folllwed by a narcotic crashdown induced psychotic episode. Proceeds for the following 24hrs to wreck the nearby OpenAI data center, skulking around air vents and service tunnels, pulling at electric pannels and biting off copper cable, all while murdering and dismembering brain-rotted personnel with a duct-tape jury-rigged handsaw and a ripped off door from a Tesla truck which he was excaliming it was "loot" from a "climatic bossfight" he was going to use in order to "purge the Evil AI". 8/10 solid, shorter souls-like

Fantastic game, with great combat mechanics and the progression system is very rewarding. Finding a high quality arm or leg to boost your stats and eventually collecting a full set plus the cool weapon you saw an npc using and feeling a noticeable surge is power is very satisfying. I would highly recommend buying especially now and £1.68! The Surge 2 is also very good, essentially offering more of the same in terms of gameplay and continuing with the story.

Guide recommended, time consuming, not easy. This game has been my introduction to the Souls like genre and looking forward to playing it again.

Combat is challenging yet rewarding, encouraging players to study enemy attacks and make thoughtful use of the game's mechanics.
