May 17, 2017Terrible game, does nothing new, full of bugs and glitches, only 5 boring and easy bosses, the environment is always the same, no creativity, 90% of the game mechanics are copied from Souls, shameless thieves. Don't waste your time on this garbage game.

Apr 14, 2020Did not enjoy this game. I gave this a try because I loved Dark Souls and Dark Souls 3. However this game was brutal and unrewarding. Also the story and lore was not attractive or interesting to me. The first boss just felt unfair and I almost gave up. After watching some videos on YouTube I managed to beat the first boss after that I didn't want to play anymore.

Official Xbox Magazine UKJun 18, 2017A sloppy sci fi swing for the Dark Souls crowd which sadly misses. [July 2017, p.82]

May 24, 2017Although not long by Dark Souls’ standards, The Surge’s sci-fi setting is a refreshing change from its contemporaries, and the developers have made their mark on the genre. The combat system is unique, and very rewarding. It might fly below most people's radar due to the slew of quality games in 2017, but don't overlook The Surge. It will surprise a lot of people.

May 23, 2017The Surge delivers an intriguing sci-fi world with dark themes and should satisfy any genre fans looking for something to play now that the Dark Souls series has ended. Just don’t pick up The Surge expecting a game that is as polished as From Software’s flagship franchise.
