The Surge

I've played every soulslike under the sun and can say that this is the only one that comes even close to matching the exploration, intrigue, and charm of Fromsoft titles. The boss fights leave a lot to be desired, but that's true of early FS games too, and they're not horrible. This game is much more about making your way through a terrifying, confusing, sometimes claustrophobic world that is falling apart and you don't know why. They even managed to hit the same quirky notes as FS, creating a very interesting juxtaposition between a collapsing dystopia and the goofy circumstances you wind up in. With the trend of these kinds of games becoming more and more like corridors you blow through to get to a tough boss then rinse and repeat, it's refreshing seeing a game where every room can be dangerous, finding a hidden upgrade is legitimately exciting, and where getting to the next "bonfire" feels like a genuine achievement.

amazing game. story is intriguing at first then kinda predictable towards the end, at least for me. will take new players a bit of time getting used to the gameplay but once it clicks it feels really great. some bosses and goons are still hard though even if youre already mastered the game. yooo the dlcs really spoiling you with bunch of cool powerful stuffs and new place to grind really quick to point it feels like cheating tbh. thankfully i only started them when getting into the final area, those are quite addictive too.

Это простой приятный соулслайк. Мне как казуалищу позорному даже показался слишком легким. Простая система прокачки персонажа и снаряги, отдельный +дизайн оружия и некторых противников/боссов. Момент с затупом "а куда идти" произошел дважды, но быстро решился. Локации кишкообразные, запутаться на некоторых довольно легко. Особенно в этом выделяется последняя лока, но общее впечатление от игры не портится, поскольку сама по себе она не такая долгая, я, пропылесосив все вокруг да около, прошел ее за +-15 часов. НГ+ играть приятно, словно реальное прохождение началось именно с этого момента, а первый забег имел ознакомительный характер. Но даже так игра не превращается в зубодробительную душнилку. Если хочется поиграть в соулслайк и почувствовать себя не раком то The Surge самое то.

played this on console and the game is great, it was on sale and i wanted to play it again on pc but ive found if your on a newer amd gpu and/or amd drivers the game suffers from extremely bad artificing coupled with horrible graphic glitches, after looking it up the nly fix was to download a file from GitHub to convert it through vulkan or something, im frankly not willing to do it in case i mess it up so im refunding and leaving a negative, if it gets fixed (doubtful) i'll rebuy and update.

Fun sorta souls-like, with a pretty unique mechanic, easier than expected but still a treat.

настоящий вызов топографическим способностям...я победил -.-

Scuffed af souls like, horrible soundtrack, mediocre story, not fun Do not be fooled by the "amazing level design". Half the game looks the same and is a confusing maze of mess to navigate. You will literally find like 5 doors/elevators right next to the base and they are all different shortcuts, and some shortcuts have a shortcut inside them!!!! Literal spaghetti level design and people call it good 😂 Looks pretty though
