Rated 4 out of 5 stars
A worthy souls like game
Anyone interested in this game should be aware of the Dark Souls and Bloodborne series of games. The Surge is an unabashed take on that formula. Instead of a medieval fantasy setting with zombie like enemies, and huge creatures for bosses, it's a futuristic dystopia with an industrial aesthetic. The Surge uses almost all of the same mechanics that makes a souls game, but with their own take on it. And the difficulty is pretty much on par with those games as well, however I'd say The Surge is a bit easier overall. It's also more friendly to the player. There is less concern with losing your acquired souls, and mechanics and systems are explained much better.Overall I think The Surge comes up short in many ways compared to the souls games. Less enemy variety, less variety in locations, and less amounts of armor sets and weapons. It's a bit more scaled down in terms of overall size and content, but I don't think that necessarily holds the game back too much. It's still just as fun to fight enemies, explore the world, and continuously make your character better. The world is also very well designed so that each new area discovered can still eventually connect to everywhere else. The map is not huge, but it makes very good use of its space. The Surge does a good job of being its own thing and making the combat and character development feel fresh. Fans of Dark Souls and Bloodborne are sure to enjoy this game if they're looking to scratch that souls itch. It's also a good entry game for those new to these types of games.

Fun Souls Type
Giving it 5 stars as it's an overall really fun game and quite challenging. But don't buy it thinking it is going to be exactly like a Souls game. There is no skill point allocation. So everything is based on what weapon you're using and what armor. Your level gives you more carry weight and health so you can put on more stuff. You spend the majority of the game hacking limbs off of enemies to collect weapons and gear.

Not Great, but not bad
If you're a Dark Souls/Blooborne fan you'll adapt to the gameplay with no issues. That being said if you're fan of those franchises you might find this game to come up short compared to those games I personally enjoyed it. I'd give it a 7.5/10 .
