Description

Welcome to CREO, the megacorporation saving our world! A catastrophic event has knocked you out during the first day on the job… you wake up equipped with a heavy-grade exoskeleton, in a destroyed section of the complex. Robots gone haywire, insane augmented co-workers and rogue AI - everything wants you dead.

Defy deadly enemies and huge bosses in tight, visceral melee combat. Target and slice specific limbs off your foes, with a next-gen loot system where you loot what you dismember! Equip, upgrade and craft new weapons and armors sliced from enemies, and make yourself stronger through a fresh take on leveling-up.

The Surge struggles to present a compelling campaign, but delivers a fun new take on a familiar genre.

7/10
A promising entry into the budding “Souls” genre that delivers excellent combat and far too much repetition in the enemies and environments

Very Nice Aesthetics, Bad gameplay

The whole concept of exoskeletons and plausible tecnology like those in neil boklamp movies are a rare sight to see, and always a pleasing one to see, i bought and finished the game solely because i was invested on the whole exo and augmented humans shenanigans the game was up to because it was really pleasing to see and interesting. but unfortunetly the game suffers from soulslike syndrome, meaning what could have been a cool hack and slash game has been turned into a annoying stop and go at the best with a lot of ONESHOTTING coming from basic and mundane enemies even after leveling up, putting health implants and upgrading armor. tldr; looks very good, plays bad and i HATE soulslikes

Hidden Gem?

I had never heard of this game before yesterday. I'm not big into the souls-like genre, but given the polish, style, and smooth gameplay, I'm surprised that I had neither heard of nor seen it before. After playing for a few hours, I am even more surprised. It is a quite fun, intuitive, and rewarding game to play. It's possible that it gets repetitive after longer playthroughs, but so far, having bought it for $2 on sale, I'm happy with my purchase.
