The Surge's developers take a tried and true format and flesh out a real winner. I have struggled to enjoy Dark Souls because it seems that the player has to enjoy the suffering, and the final reward of success (if you can ever make it there). While the surge takes all the same elements, and without diluting the formula too much, brings a welcome and refreshing spin to it.
The gameplay is tight, responsive, and rewarding to master. I am about 40% of the way through and can say I have mastered 2 out of the 6 known weapon types so far. Each weapon style brings a different experience and strategy to the game play.
The theme is intriguing and the not overwhelmingly hidden voice recordings slowly piece together a story involving corporatism, a cataclysmic event, and struggle to survive. The voice over is done well, and the characters are intriguing but not necessarily deep.

Explore a postapocalyptic future in The Surge for the Xbox One. Technology has taken over the world and put humans on the brink of extinction, and you must don an exoskeleton to fight for limited resources. The Surge has innovative combat mechanics and a powerful character progression system for an entertaining and intriguing game.

This game has been compared to dark souls but it has machine in it. This game has some awesome finishing moves which allows the player the cut off certain body parts. Which allow the player to upgrade his rig. I really joyed playing this game.

While the story of this game is relatively short and a bit disjointed I still found it to be an enjoyable (kinda) playthrough. The combat system is interesting and unforgiving. Most of the bosses required several attempts before learning their patterns well enough to defeat them. I would have preferred more explanation and backstory as there were several times when going through when I was just a tad lost regarding the overall picture, which makes sense if you're going for an "immersive" experience. All in all it was fun to play though maybe better suited as a rental.

It's a fun game. I like the ability to pick limbs to attack to dimember and pick off their armor or weapons. As always a change and prepare to die a lot.

I'm a fan of the Demon Souls/Dark Souls games and The Surge is a cool spin on that type of gameplay. Not quite as polished on the souls games but still fun, and since I got this one on sale I feel I got my monies worth. And yes, like the Souls games, it's hard!

Must have for dark souls fans. Gameplay is addictive with uprades, armor and weapons. Story is alright but the game is oozing with atmosphere. Looks amazing on Xbox one x on a 4K screen. Learning curve is pretty quick once you learn the basics. Easily can dump in 20+ hours.

Very similar to deck 13 previous effort but with much smoother gameplay and none of the annoying glitches. New world for the dark souls genre as well

Graphics are a good time but the body targeting for specific hits is what seperates this from other dark souls clones.

I am a huge Dark Souls / Bloodborne Fan and tried Lords of the Fallen and didn't really like it much. But I'm loving The Surge. Though the Surge starts out slow it definitely picks up in chapter 2.
