    Bringing a Dead Space-style SF horror atmosphere to a Dark Souls-inspired action game makes things interesting, and the speedy battle system, which includes cutting off body parts and crafting elements, is a success. However, the somewhat dull pace of the game results in the player dying a bit too often, leaving plenty of room for improvement when it comes to the game’s overall balance.

    I wanted to say something about the story, but it is nothingburger… just like everything else in The Surge.

    Despite some pacing and story flaws, the thoughtful, tactical combat is always engrossing. [Issue#263, p.58]
