About
A catastrophic event has knocked you out during the first day on the job… you wake up equipped with a heavy-grade exoskeleton, in a destroyed section of the complex. Robots gone haywire, insane augmented co-workers and rogue AI - everything wants you dead.
Defy deadly enemies and huge bosses in tight, visceral melee combat. Target and slice specific limbs off your foes, with a next-gen loot system where you loot what you dismember. Equip, upgrade and craft new weapons and armors sliced from enemies, and make yourself stronger through a fresh take on leveling-up.

The Surge leaves a positive yet somewhat mixed impression. It balances frustrating design flaws with exceptionally rewarding core gameplay mechanics. The game offers a rather banal story. It revolves around a typical sci-fi cliche of a mega-corporation that tried to solve global crises but ended up triggering a massive catastrophe instead. When it comes to the bosses, the game suffers from a clear lack of variety and quantity. Most of these bosses have a very simple and predictable set of attacks. Furthermore, difficulty is often achieved through artificially overtuned damage rather than complex mechanics, where just one or two hits can instantly kill your character. Sci-fi world of the CREO complex is genuinely atmospheric, but its Metroidvania elements are implemented mediocrely. Backtracking through the areas is rarely rewarded with valuable loot. Instead of multiple checkpoints, each massive zone features a complex, interconnected industrial maze built around a single central hub. Progression relies entirely on exploring tight, vertical, and claustrophobic maintenance shafts to unlock shortcuts that loop back to safety. This layout heavily rewards spatial memory, especially since the game completely lacks an in-game map or navigation markers. Combat system is the major highlight, being both strong and highly original. It features a dynamic pace, excellent stamina management, a noticeable difference between weapon classes, and a successful equipment upgrade system. Beyond stamina, combat revolves around an active energy gauge used to power drone abilities or execute tactical finishers. The standout mechanic allows targeting specific enemy body parts, with the limb-severing system being directly tied to character progression and gear farming. Traditional RPG stat leveling is entirely replaced by a modular implant system, allowing you to completely alter your build at any time. Ultimately, despite noticeable flaws in the plot, bosses, and world exploration, the quality combat system largely compensates for these problems and makes The Surge well worth playing (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,420 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

不错的游戏，战斗爽快感和成长感还是挺不错的，就是地图有点绕
Gioco consigliatissimo per chi ama i Soulslike e le sfide. il gameplay è divertente ed unico, soprattutto la meccanica unica di combattimento, che permette di scegliere l'arto da attaccare in base alle esigenze e/o strategie. i lati negativi sono purtroppo gli stessi dei tanti Soulslike: i danni sono ESAGERATAMENTE alti, un personaggio di livello 130 con 1950HP ed armatura completamente potenziata che viene ucciso da due attacchi di un nemico base qualsiasi, non è ammissibile. la gestione dell'energia nucleare e dei set di armatura è sbilanciata a dir poco, con armature che chiedono fino a 50 punti base solo per equipaggiare il set, senza contare i vari inniettabili e bonus salute/energia che richiedono fino a 20/30 punti l'uno, rendendo impossibile fare set vari con diversi bonus e portando ad usare 48 slot con Salute, Inniettabili di salute e il resto tutta energia nucleare per poter equipaggiare gli stessi bonus, sbilanciando di molto quello che può essere un gameplay vario, tra build incentrate sull'energia o sugli inniettabili. mi sono spesso trovato a dover usare solo bonus salute per non morire con un colpo al primo nemico, guardando lo schermo perplessamente di fronte alla scena del mio personaggio che muore in uno/due attacchi. il combattimento è lento ma non macchinoso e i comandi rispondono bene, specialmente con un controller, ma una volta colpiti da un nemico, aspettatevi di ricevere almeno altri due attacchi, perche il personaggio se ne rimmarrà li imbambolato per alcuni secondi, non rispondendo a nessun imput che non sia la cura. nonostante queste piccole lacune sul bilanciamento, ho appena platinato il gioco in NG++, quindi si, confermo che si fa giocare molto bene. ora, punto al secondo titolo :)
I really don't know why this game has mixed recent reviews. I think this game does some things better and some worse than the well-known Dark Souls. This one, having come out in 2017, I think has aged well... so I finally think it's worth giving it a try, but I wish it had more bosses, I think there are like 6-8 bosses... there should be a few more...
buen juego buenas mecanicas, buena jugabilidad, bien optimizado para pc de gama baja, y si eres un masoquista que le encantan los soul's este juego es una buena opcion menor o casi igual a la dificultad de ds1 con una historia buena o media a mi consideracion. :)
It's ok.
Se você gosta de Soulslike, vale a pena. Apesar de o combate não ser tão polido quanto um jogo da FromSoftware, é um jogo divertido e decente. Recomendo.
