Critic Reviews for The Surge
The Surge is a Dark Souls-style game with sci-fi trappings and a unique combat system that is held back by repetitive gameplay and frustrating controls.
The Surge isn't the same as Dark Souls but comparison's inevitable. Like that cyborg whose torso I severed, it struggles to stand on its own.
The Surge struggles to present a compelling campaign, but delivers a fun new take on a familiar genre.
A solid Soulslike that stops a few steps short of greatness.
A promising entry into the budding “Souls” genre that delivers excellent combat and far too much repetition in the enemies and environments
The Surge is an entertaining twist on the Dark Souls formula that strikes a tenuous balance between iteration and invention.
The Surge successfully builds on its inspirations and finds its own voice
The Surge offers an interesting world to explore, and a few new tricks that set it apart from the competition, but often falls short of its inspiration due to wonky combat and uninspired enemy designs.
