The Surge Review | This Game Is Hard
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 лип 2024
- The Surge - The Surge is a union of Fallout's setting with Dark Souls-like action and exploration, and while the Surge makes some significant advancements in the 'Souls-Like' genre, it misses some crucial beats that seriously undermine the experience.
This review was conducted on PC (GTX 1080) whilst playing with a controller. I do not recommend playing on PC without a controller.

Gwyn's Law: As an discussion about a game grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Dark Souls approaches 100%.
That's the name I've been hoping someone would come up with.
Funny thing is Godwyn is an actual name in Elden Ring so it applies already as a reference.
Stop calling these reviews & start calling them documentaries. Either way I loved every second please don't shorten them for any one
+Th3Jez next review: every video J3z ever made. I'll only cover the good ones though. Expected length: 2-3 minutes. Tops.
There not Docos. Its more like there essays.
Your all wrong. It's called an in depth review. It compares games to other games that are beloved or hated. It shows every aspect of the games and it also shows relations between mechanics found in games around the world. It's the perfect review people. That's what he does. The perfect review.
Ahaa! Love your content Th3Jez! Hope the wife is good, goodest of all goods and please stream some red dead redemption 2!
"I want your armor so I'm going to cut the body part off that it's attached to."
Fucking brutal.
Fantastic review Skillup. I think you and TotalBiscuit are the only ones who have hit the nail on the head when it comes to reviewing this game.
Cheers mate :)
R.I.P.
Michael Vinson ? I think totalbiscuit and skill up are decent not great but to call them only good reviewers? Haha yea no
After playing this game recently I don't see how people need to run like he points on ,I wiped out everything in first play through and blew through ng+ and by acquiring the gear for area you are in by mk it's not hard to figure out that you upgrade as u progress example mk1 for area1 (abandoned production) area2 mk2 (production b) area 3 mk 3 (bioolabs).... and is doubled for ng+. running like a pussy ain't no fun people think this games hard lol ninja garden black is what I consider a hard game, souls and this ain't hard as people think people just get lazy and bitch coz they ain't good enough.
@@edd-ik1lw it's a hard game, because you can't just go through it like a breeze. By your logic, anything is easy if you put enough time into it. Which is true, but just just because you become good at it does not automatically it an easy game.
Another really well made review, thanks. No doubt you will become one of the greater gaming critique/review voices on UA-cam
Cheers mate :)
This comment aged really, REALLY well.
Vagrant Story crew represent!
You bring video game reviews to such a polished professional level. Probably some of the highest quality reviews I have seen on YT....anywhere.
Skill Up just gets it, man. The bit about how cohesion of environment and world design is wonderful, but how adhering to theme so rigidly is paradoxically monotonous... and that there would be a way to achieve logical cohesion with thematic variety, especially in a sequel. That's my kind of design insight and you're speakin' my language.
It's a really awesome setting. There's huge scope for it in the future, so I really hope they stick with it and deliver a sequel.
Your reviews are like no others. I love them
The explanation of how the "map" of the division is both a great asset (because of how well it replicates new york) and hindrance is something i've tried to explain many times to people. Really solid stuff.
"I hope there is a sequel that builds on The Surge" And that is exactly what happened. Surge 1 is a good start, it lays a fantastic foundation. But it just has so many aspects to it that turn it into an incredibly frustrating, difficult in a bad way and repetitive slog. The Surge 2 takes all the best elements of the first and expands upon them, then adds so many more great aspects. I'm absolutely loving The Surge 2 and am so glad they not only made a sequel, but pushed it to it's full potential.
Surge 2 anyone?
Yep.
im allready waiting
cleaving some creo world mobs. awaiting the next DLC too ^^
calm down..i can't even get through the first part..i keep forgetting this aint assassins creed
cant wait
dont change a thing. i like how you delve into other points.
R Parker It was a great review i loved it.
Everyone out here giving credit to dark souls when the real OG is demon souls.
Demon Souls may have used the formula first, but it was more of a prototype. Dark Souls then created a genre through polish and success. Think about it this way: If FromSoftware had never followed Demon Souls up with Dark Souls, do you think the genre would still exist the same way it does today? Do you think we would call it "Souls-Like"?
I still think Demons Souls is better then Dark Souls.
@@jonathanpretty5031 Yeah, Demon's Souls is the gamers' favorite. I owned it on PS3. It was a big deal when it was released.
Demon Souls still better
To be fair demon's souls is only on PlayStation while dark souls is on all platforms.
Another brilliant review, kudos to you. Love the depth of your reviews bringing in past elements and comparisons.
Huh, I hadn't really considered running past enemies. Guess that's an option too!
You do understand that enemies give you the resources you need to upgrade your gear right? :P Well, except for those goddamned 3-legged jumping bots...
Gotta say, I noticed you were using the 1st section 1-handed weapon in the last section of the game. That weapon has almost no damage, and has 'medium' proficiency scaling (so damage isn't even being upped much by your experience level with 1-handers). Given that, I'm not sure the complaint about doing 'no damage to enemies' in the last few sections of the game isn't... well, your own fault.
I see you swinging that chainsword at the first boss clones legs for 33 damage. It takes 100+ from any highly upgraded high-proficiency Single-Rigged weapon. And it's not like you're getting extra swings out of the 1-hander, because you have to back off after every swing to avoid getting stomped. Did you activate the chemical-damage injectable? That at least adds some damage to quick-hitting weapons, as its just a flat per-hit boost.
Your Rhino gear also isn't useful vs bosses. It's got reduced damage to armored opponents (not helpful) as a tradeoff to having increased impact - but bosses don't get staggered, and you're using a weapon with such low impact that even the rhino arms +60% impact is barely going to matter.
All-in-all, I really like your review, much as I really like the game. I believe though that you screwed yourself with your gear choices. To attempt a Dark Souls analogy: you're having late-game difficulties because you never realized you could talk to a blacksmith.
DId that work? Honestly I dunno, this is my first soulslike game (PC gamer here).
I use Pax Imperator v2
I know this is extremely late, but in case anyone else stumbles across this comment:
The 3-legged jump bots do give one progression related thing. If you break their top-arm, they drop Ancillary Core implants. These implants GIVE you Core Power when equipped.
Not exactly a form of gear upgrade, but it does let you mount implants/gear you wouldn't normally be able to.
@@supermaksas Not late at all, I plan to play this game in a few week, and this will definitely help. Thanks!
@@supermaksas also, the top-arm took about 50% of the health, so get rid of it also disable all other attack beside charging, which is easy to counter. i tried
Very good comment i just started playing for a few hours yesterday and even i was like why the heck is he still using that crap :D
These type of videos are why I subscribe to your channel, please keep them coming!!!
watching it just now!!!!!! was waiting for it! thanks SkillUp
I like your video essay type review, and I appreciate how long they are too. I think this format lets you talk about one point at a time while still getting deep into each one. Nice video, this is the first I've seen of your. Keep it up dude, earned a sub (:
Love how this guy slaps me in the face with a punch of a thousand dictionaries whilst reviewing a game.. and me thanking him for it.. no doubt SkillUp 100% best reviewer, no competition.
No competition? Haha, ACG gives this guy a run for his money. Not that this wasn't a decent review, but I feel like I got a fraction of the content for double the time investment. ACG could have said all this and way more in a 15min video. I also hate how he said he wouldn't compare this game to Dark Souls, but then immediately started comparing it to other games that are completely different. I get WHY he did it, but he could have made the same point without bringing up those other games at all and avoided the needlessly wasted time talking about games I didn't come here to hear about.
Wow, the prologue of this review is as long as full reviews from other sites. Nice!. I just found this channel and im binging the reviews, they are awesome!
Please never change. Your reviews are extraordinary pieces of work. Great job. Thank you.
Matey your intros are second to none! I can't just throw your videos on from my phone, I need to wait for a lunch break or when I get home to play through apple TV, they get me excited and well worth my full attention. Nice moves bud!
I alt tabbed the video and when I starting hearing the Division sound track I had to tab back because I thought the video changed. still love your videos and keep up the good work!
Dear sir, Please keep doing what your doing how your doing it. I enjoy you winding reviews and videos. You cover a lot of ground and pick out the important details. In a world of sub 2 minute reviews I find yours refreshingly detailed.
Love how you integrated the division theme around min7 :) Great video again. Thy!
I dunno, in comparison to Sekiro and Bloodborne, The Surge felt clunky to me in certain mechanics of combat, while in other ways it felt good.
After spending the time to Platinum it and get all the parts and weapons, I think the developers were a fan of not only Souls-borne, but also Armored Core. I wish there was less incentive to have a single set compared to mixing sets. Pretty solid review, but I think you missed out on the small note of how the bosses can reward V.2 weapons for killing them in specific ways. For example, the fourth boss, the Black Cerberus guard would drop the V2 version of his weapon and have a much easier fight if you used the PAX's main cannon to destroy the two big white cylinders.
Wonderful review - its hard to believe that you are actually pretty new at reviewing. I'm surprised at how well-put together this video was for embargo. I'm sure many people think that these reviews are too long, but for me personally, I'm extremely pleased to see longer reviews where the reviewer can really sink into the game. There are plenty of 5-10 minute video reviews out there, but very few that really sink into it.
Cheers mate- appreciate that :)
I'm there with ya on the combat. One of the elements that keeps pulling me back into The Surge, however I'm not a subscriber to the run past tactic. I force myself to fight every enemy as part of my penance for dying when I did
Wonderful review. So well written and thought out. Excellent work. I hope to see more videos like this.
I just found your channel and holy crap, if all your reviews are this good then you might be my new favorite game reviewer :D
This game is one of the most underrated ever. Personally one of my favourites, digging for the second.
Honestly i didn't find it very very hard, especially because i always killed everyone with slide, hit-and-run with Pax weapon, which deals a shitton of damage but is not really slow.
Team surge
Your coverage alone conjured my interest again in this game. I'm enjoying so far bar a few gripes and just beat the first boss. Thanks for getting this game on my radar.
This and the second one aged like wine
This for some reason is my favorite review that you have done as of late. You did a great job at sorting through the pros and cons while ending with an optimistic message without swaying or diluting ones opinion on whether to buy the game and give it a go. You do a great job at putting everything on the table in a very elegant way and letting the reader come to their own conclusions based on their individual background. Thanks for the review, great job once again!
A few days ago I played the demo and fell in love. Its great cuz I've been trying to play the blood borne but couldn't get into it and now cuz of this I think I can get into it. So thank you deck 13 you opened up a whole new genre of gaming for me. Please give us supporters a surge 2.
Love your reviews dude. Really nice to hear an Australian on the game review scene.
love the in depth review. keep up the great work.
your videos are generally very well written. good job.
that skit with the cops tackling that dude gives me life. as does your commentary. where has your channel been all my life
Great review, you really nailed it! You made a great choise to review it as not a souls clone but as a independ ARPG as it is. You own a new suscriber!
At this point in time I've played through The Surge so many times its not funny, its just sad. The only thing I think that most reviewers are getting wrong is the whole "trash mobs" thing as there actually aren't any. Every single enemy in the game can be taken on in a one on one confrontation and that is kind of a key part of success in the game. Some of them you have to wait out their walking routes, others you have lure over to another location but there is always a way. Don't rush in to combat and if possible make them come to you. Once you get this you can see that its what makes this gamed excellent combat system really shine. The system is designed for single combat not mobs. Approaching this game like a hack and slash is asking for a quick death.
Sean Gehret Thank you. Is basically the same approach of Horizon Zero Dawn, but instead, in that game they explain you this. If people doesnt have all the instructions right in front of them, they will review things like that, and i dont like it.
Yea i agree with this. Apart from some of the nanite things. Also you can beat the Black Cerebus in one Pax. Guess that's not immediately obvious but the way I saw it you weren't meant to fight out the whole thing. But yea quite often the drone helps control mobs and/or switching up weapons..The game is very fair. Boss wise I think they should have concentrated on or balanced them with more challenging humanoid enemies so you could put what you've learned to the test..
Old comment, but I agree. It's always odd when people claim to have come from the elitist "git gud" of a game that is Dark Souls, then proceed to complain about how hard combat is in The Surge. All the while me - a pretty average player who doesn't even like Dark Souls games - was able to cheese my way through most of it, skipping no enemies along the way. It really is as simple as pulling them one by one with the Done, at which point the majority of them can be killed reliably by exploiting their telegraphed attacks. A lot of them can be cheesed to high heaven using the duck/leap dodge, as well. In fact, the superficially scary Nannite enemies are straight-up trivial this way, as most of their attacks can be ducked.
Aside from a few enemy types, this game is predominantly "trash mobs." Warren is a glass cannon regardless of his build so simple mistakes will hurt, true, but all enemies are entirely deterministic and the timing on most of them isn't even all that tight.
jesus i just started the surge and seeing how far you can go with the exo and weapon type damn dude i need to grind
Another awesome review! I'm a fairly new subscriber to your page, but really love the depth of your videos! Keep up the great work!
I really enjoyed this long form review, I'm sad to hear about the later levels but I'll definitely pick this up on sale to try out the combat. :)
I agree with everything in the review 100% - very insightful observations - except for the criticism on encounter design / enemy difficulty. Thanks to the excellent enemy moveset design in this game, I found the game provided a very satisfying curve of feeling genuinely threatened and even thinking this is impossible, to learning their moves and exploiting the openings and feeling like a badass in just a couple of hours into a new area. It was incredibly rewarding.
I do not think any of the enemies in the game have too much HP, save from maybe the robot spiders. Any of the other enemies can be killed in pretty much a single combo from backstab -> charged attack with level appropriate weapons. You just need to know where to aim the shot for them to stagger or fall over.
arpakyna You can easily defeat the spiders by stunning with the drone and 1-hit them. Then repeat. I had struggle with finding the mechanism in the beginning.
Agreed. Noticed his weapon choice wasn't the best either which wouldn't help. Not having enough enemy variety was more the issue for me. Difficulty not so much.
I just started playin the game, and the only time I struggle is when I get swarmed. Luckily, in most situations my companion drone is able to draw away enemies so I can 1 V 1 them. The combat mechanics and the way your weapon choice and mods affect the gameplay is the best part of this game. I'm enjoying this a lot.
Wanting a sequel? Well you are in luck! Deck13 is now making The Surge 2!
Dante Barnes where did you find out?
@@westhawk7259 they showed it at E3 last year. The footage is all over youtube
and now the surge is complete
I have to say... although I get where you are coming from, I eventually mastered this game in a way that did not make the end phases of this game too hard. You have to become disciplined and patient, but eventually you figure it out. I felt that Souls and Nioh for example are much more unfair feeling when random enemy combos are impossibly difficult. I found that with The Surge, the time I put into it was paid off by feeling fully in charge of my moveset and capable of taking on any enemy.
Good to see you have not moved on but added other games to your channel. You were my go to and more over trusted info and news for The Division. I have since moved on from The Division and in turn moved on from your channel. I'm glad I've found you again and I hope that same trust in your opinions and new in other games will go as well from The Division. So, I'm Happy to be Back. Cheers and Keep up the new games.
for the third boss you don't actually need to fight the robot 3 times, there is something you can do to the arena to prevent additional spawns.
ComManDerN7 And it nabs you the full armour set too
less than an hour skill up review?! its nice going back.
This is the first video of yours I have ever seen, and it is the best, most comprehensive, and thoughtful review of The Surge I have yet seen. Subscribing now.
These videos are excellent. Probably the highest quality game reviews out there by an independent UA-camr!
honestly I love how hard this game is because unlike what he said it's actually very very fair !! the reason he was having such a hard time with that end game enemies was that he didn't pay attention to his build and instead just used health and stamina augments and run past enemies, as for me right up until the very last boss i didn't even use a single health augment! but instead i found all the important and rare Implants and learned the best ways to kill enemies, cuz no matter how hard an enemy in this game is, there's always a way to kill them in 3-4 hits ! he just didn't use that!! like the spider enemies are so hard and can one shot you so fast but when you learn about blocking them and using an elemental weapon on them you'll take them down in 3 hits ! the game is so fair when it comes to combat cuz you are as strong as the enemies! I died so many times in this game but i never got mad each time i said "yeah that was my bad!"
Facts
Agree on the clunkiness of Lords of the Fallen. The Surge's combat is refreshing fast paced and fun.
It's on sale on Steam for 2.99. Do you think I will enjoy this game if I enjoyed DS2,3 and Elden Ring? I wanted to get something similar that I can sink my teeth into and get lost in. I just beat DS2 and started playing other games and I'm having a hard time getting into any of them.
@@panamike6178 Definitely! The combat is very fun/ engaging and the gameplay is top notch. The only thing I prefer in DS is the aesthetic (I prefer fantasy over scifi) It's worth playing and does a great job of creating a nightmare world of it's own.
One thing I'll tell you now, when you come across these robot headless lion abomination from hell be sure to target the tail (Every other part is clad iron) I learned this only after beating the game 😅
@@Vyrtus_ Thanks for the great response man! I'll def check it out. I became obsessed with the souls game. I loved DS2. I think I may even like it more than DS3. This looks great! I tried getting into Sekiro but I'm having a tough time since you can't change your weapon or armor and that's one of my favorite things in the souls games.
@@panamike6178 Yep I definitely feel that. The souls games killed my ability to play games with Skyrim combat systems XD I understand that with Sekiro, I also played thru Nioh and it's just not as good as DS or Surge. Happy playing, cheers!
@@Vyrtus_ Hey man, I was able to scrape up some extra money. Since I finished DS2 and DS3 I ended up buying Elden Ring on sale through steam. I'm set for the net couple 100 hours. Will check out surge after ER! I only got to 30% completion on my PS5 but with my PS5 in the living room and a wife and daughter I don't have the time to grind through it. I'm gonna beat it on the steam deck! DS2 to ER, I'm in for a wild ride. Sorry to rant but I'm beyond excited and felt the need to tell someone.
holy shit your reviews are epic dude... well done man... well done..
you can bate single enemies with your range bot and deal with them 1 at a time making it an easier task
I always like your prologue and introductions to your reviews. It tells me what to expect and create the tone of your videos and the body of your videos just elaborates it further
Good review. I like the length of these videos. Even though I thought the score was slightly too high, you give plenty of information about the game so that even if people disagree with the score the person watching who is thinking about buying it can make an informed choice.
Loved the Vagrant Story shout!
The most severe crime that Deck13 committed when it came to The Surge 1 is the tragically glossed over parry. The Block+Duck+Attack= The single most powerful parry in any souls like game ever made. It completely changes the game and, when mastered, allows for a far more aggressive play style and that turns you into a killing machine that flows from enemy to enemy like a some kind of.. Kung-fu Master made of old car parts and at least one tractor. I've introduced all of my friends and those willing to read my post about it on the Surge subreddit and every single person that's taken the time to get the timing down has echoed my excitement that it exists and the frustration that the only part of the game it's mentioned is basically just graffiti on the wall before you're introduced to a new enemy type which sufficiently over shadows even that. I call it "The Flying Knee of Death" and it stops Black Cerberus in his tracks and knocks the jumping scorpion robots out of the air midleap... Seriously, the only enemies that I haven't been able to parry in this fashion are the bigger bosses and I'm still not convinced that it's not a timing issue on my part. It's meant to be used like this too because if you get the timing perfect you'll send enemies flying and take a chunk of their health down with them.. I hope you read this SkillUp because, well.. You seem to like if not love those combat and game because of it as much as I do and also because this one move will completely change your outlook on the difficulty curve as well as add a whole'nother layer of appreciation for what is truly some of the best combat ever put to code in a video gsme. (The move is still in the Surge 2... Kind of.. It's there but nerfed to hell. The Surge 1 will always be my favorite because of this move and my introduction to the music of Stumfol through their use of his song Prisoner in the Medbays). Thank you all, for coming to my Tedtalk.
After Lies of P, I done some research on Souls Likes and found the Surge 1 and 2 in the PS store on sale, and for once I feel I robbed Sony, instead of the other way around, and I just started part one and my god, how the hell does these games not have more love is beyond me, and this review was excellent.
They’re both masterpieces.
I just beat the surge 2 right after lies of p. I think the battery charge system was brilliant. Excellent game.
Surge 2 is coming. I'm so hyped
this game is tough ... the first boss is a huge hurdle to get over ... sprinting/ dodging is really important to do well in this game because you can get killed after just a couple of hits ... thankfully, there are online guides and forums that give incredibly helpful tips
Part 2 next year I can't wait!!
The damage improve with proficiency level which means u can deal more than 400 damage in ng+. Which means you can three shot all the enemy.
*Dead Space meets Dark Souls*
fixed
Oh noooo! You actually put a score at the end. Well... ok, your review was great anyway. As always :)
Can I just say how beyond happy I am that I found your channel? I absolutely love your insight and how in depth you get... You remind me of another incredible youtuber I follow by the name of Ethos. If you are unfamiliar I definitely recommend checking him out.. but damn man keep up the incredible work!!!
+Mitch H will check him out. Cheers mate.
Skill Up sweet hope you enjoy. playing the surge now! it's running really well on my rig :D 4k max settings with fast sync enabled running between 90 and 70 fps
Good and Deep review. I am happy Deck 13 announced The Surge 2. I hope they learned from the flaws of the first one. I want to replay the Surge with the Story DLC.
so the surge has NG+ ETC? what is it to be expected except higher difficutly? anyone let me know replying?
wow that review blew me away. very professional. in fact ive seen "professionals" on tv put nowhere near the amount of heart and soul that you put into it. very detailed, thanks for the boss spoiler warning. im super mad at immortal unchained right now so i needed another soulslike to hold me over. ill give it a go, i played dark souls and immediately bought every soulslike i could find soo X D
I really love your reviews. You're probably my favorite youtuber. Your reviews are indepth and your opinions usually match my own (for example you're one of the few youtubers who also felt assassin's creed origins is a massive grind). I finally beat the surge a few moments ago. The issues you brought up really highlight the main problems with the game. The only point I disagree on is the final phase of the last boss... man... it took hours. The surge 2 has been confirmed though so hopefully deck 13 finally craft a masterpiece. Keep up the excellent work :D.
"i want to review the surge without mentioning dark souls" he says after a 3 and a half minute segment where he was constantly saying dark souls lol
They should fire hamish and employ you, or maybe not fire him, just demote to work beneath you because God Damn it you understand games.
Keep up the good work Bro loving the content.
I still remeber onimusha and ninga gaiden had a hardcore reputation.The genre has come full circle and they sell well.
" i love this amputation system so much." best thing said.
Good review. I've ordered the game for tomorrow.
Replaying the game this week, in my memory it was so hard that the first time I played 7years ago I can not finish the game.
Playing today I realize there are so many things in the game that make the fight much easier, like the 4th boss for example, and the drone when used correctly can make some enemy so much easier.
Such a great game, only wish the map can be more clear, at the end game I still have problem finding a to b lol
I manage to buy the bundle a week ago on sale for $14.99 and it came with 1 and 2. 1 is hard so far but getting used to it and enjoying it too. Was able to buy the dlc for the 1syt one as well.
Yo Skillup ever tough of doing a retrospective? I would really love to see your toughs on the original ME Trilogy.
The bosses in this game are extremely difficult when you fight the first time, but become laughably easy once youve learnwd their moves. I love it. It has become a comfort game for me.
Always love your video and gaming review keep it up! I was also wondering if you would like to do a review of the latest Persona 5 game? For me, that game alone has redefined and set up a new standard for the J-RPG genre as a whole. Would like to hear your analysis and thought about that game and the J-RPG genre in general. Thanks!
Hi SkillUp, just picked up this game, and enjoying it a lot (in the nucleus currently). I agree with you on everything, except maybe encounter design. The player needs to be deliberate about engaging a mob in the best possible way. There are certain tools such as the drone which makes things easier. I do enjoy the difficult trash mob, mainly since it keeps you on your toes the entire game. BTW, for anyone reading the comment, using regular health injectibles outside of boss fights isn't the best way, I personally just stack aggression amps and a medivoltaic along with vital boosts and one single health injectible. It makes clearing the trash much easier and also rewarding.
skill up, you always are dope
Guess what there is a new the surge being made, and I can't wait for it.

I actually really liked Surge's story.
Demons souls was the first souls i played, i have great memories from that game. :)
For me, The Surge, was a way to try out a game that is "Souls-like" and I actually enjoyed it most of the time and even got it to 100% completion on Xbox One (the DLC included).
The bosses gave me hard time to take them down, especially the last one (it's attack patterns are quite unpredictable in the 1st phase and the 2nd phase wasn't that easy either).
At around 80 core power I started the Walk In The Park DLC, which almost did it's name justice as it comes to difficulty (it was a lot harder in NG+). Finally I ended up in NG++ with 130 core power and a Mk X Pax Imperator. Not sure yet if I try a Dark Souls game, probably Darksiders III until sequel comes out in 2019.
I as a huge souls fan cannot wrap my head around how you enjoy this game I try and try but I couldn’t and you’re probably the only one I’ve seen praise this game for anything it’s interesting to see a different perspective though
I hope you review Code Vein when it arrives. I look forward to its release, but as the development team doesn't strike me as being as experienced in developing for this genre, like Deck 13, it's a reasonable worry that flaws you pointed out for The Surge will get repeated for Code Vein, which already has enough problem being called out as 'anime Dark Souls' where 'anime' is a dirty word. I'll like to know the final quality of this game through meticulous and neutral analysis from you.
Say what you want about dark souls, Demon's souls is the hardest to me. Out of all of the souls games including bloodbourne, I haven't beaten DeS without a specific guide. I don't even know how you would beat most of the bosses without cheesing them. I always used the temple knight for the healing. I need to go back and knight it up proper.
Got Gud
The surge has some nerve! I’m basically handicapable fighting an armored core. It was a huge surprise 😂
Not done with video yet, but just wanted to let ya know, I do in fact love this story, that is all
Have you heard? Surge 2 has been announced and part of it was even playable on Gamescom 2018
More i love it thanks m8
Super late but had to comment, I'm a physically restricted gamer but love the game, although can't tell if I suck or ploughing through even at first area is normal.
