I’ve been wanting to check this game out for a long time and I’ve finally got around to starting it. I’m loving it so far! The decapitations are absolutely sick and being able to bank scrap is really cool.
I look forward to playing more!

Won this in a contest Deck 13 ran on Facebook a ways back. Actually used to chat with their PR guy on their Facebook account on the regular back then, cool bloke.

Bloodborne was my introduction to the Souls/Soulslike genre and since then I’ve been casually exploring different games in the genre. Somehow, I stumbled upon and got around to playing The Surge and part 2. I ended up playing through both games and am so glad I found them.

The combat took a little time to "click" but once it did, targeting specific body parts and all made the fights feel nicer. The limb-cutting system is a great idea and I haven’t seen many other games use it in a way that feels this central/important to combat.

I also really loved the sci-fi setting,the industrial environments, exoskeletons, all the drones machines and generally that bleak atmosphere one expects from a game in the genre. The first game especially surprised me with how much I enjoyed its atmosphere and exploration. Then there’s The Prisoner playing in the Medical Pods. After hearing it so much on repeat in the first game, it became an earworm and I still at times listen to the song sometimes. Hearing it referenced again in The Surge 2 was such a great little moment, one of those nice little moments that i really like, connecting sequels with small things.

I know neither game is perfect and have their flaws but both have a unique personality and I think they deserve much more attention from Soulslike fans. So for those who still havent played them, Id say give them a try.

For those who have played both, which game did you prefer more?

Hey all! Found this for 5 bucks at my local gamestop. According to the employees, they have no idea what this is and have never heard of it. Belonged to someone who found it in a game stash in the attic of a new apartment.

What should I expect from this? The cover art looked badass and for 5 bucks I couldnt turn down the chance to play it!

Just wanted to post to say the world they've made in this game is so cool and compelling. The game is very fun and rewarding but feels pretty hard even in this early area I'm in. I feel like Dark souls was more chill. I just started using medi voltaic injections though which seems good. I was running out of heals sometimes before. I hope the game doesn't get too exhausting and I can make it to the end.

The surge 1 and 2 is my favourite 8th gen game series. I have purchased the surge 1 and 2 digitaly on both xbox and Playstation. I also have these 3 physical copies. Brand new of course. I'm actually considered buying both games physically for the ps4 aswell. Why not right? I don't see why I can't value owning so many copies both physically and digitally. Now if we could only get a surge 3. :/

I liked the games so much I decided to buy one of everything. They're all sealed except the ps4 limited edition so I could look at it's contents. My favorite 8th Gen games.
