[@WritingOnGames]

I'm actually really excited to get my copy through tomorrow now. The idea of a Souls-like that doesn't suck up a million hours of my life is weirdly appealing to me at this stage.

[@ACGreviews]

I totally get that

[@WritingOnGames]

I own Nioh and I really like what it's going for! It just gives me legitimate anxiety attacks when I play it haha

[@mattbyron9758]

I"m here with you, I liked the Dark Souls franchise, but being a family man now I just couldn't sink the amount of time I wanted into it. I mean, I can play it for tens of hours, but I can't get a good long sit down which is what I needed to beat bosses in that game. This seems like it's going to be right up my alley.

[@xkollx]

Writing on Games same here, looks awesome and sounds like just what I've been looking for. Something I can play that's fun action rpg, good upgrade and loot system and it doesn't have to take 70 hours to beat!! Already pre purchased!!

[@chaz9808]

so you want less game for your money? doesnt really make sense to me

[@yangwhat5553]

I can't help but think Edge of Tomorrow.

[@ACGreviews]

My summary Whoops cut out the word totally when talking about it mitigating issues" I liked it for the most part but as the game got into its second half the smaller footprint of overall locations and the way the game plays worked against it. It just needed a couple more locations I think.

[@AlecsLee]

So, would you say that the locations are generic and repetitive in general terms? and the same goes for the variety of the enemies? something like "i've been here and i've fought those folks a lot of times?" Because those are my principal fears with this game, i mean, i think that i would like the context, the combat, and the souls formula, but for me, a repetitive or generic enviornment and the lack of variety on the enemies, could be a gamebreaker on that type of games...

[@PabloClobares]

ACG always an awesome and well constructed review!!! Thank you, mate, greetings from Chile :) love your channel and your reviews

[@WadeDMcGinnis]

We thinking it lacked visual variety? Or overall variety?

[@ACGreviews]

PRetty much what I said in the review

[@RadMatter_]

I am just glad they improved from Lords of The Fallen. I say the more chances I get to Git Gud the better.

[@VersatileKing13]

I think this game would be a lot more appealing to me if I hadn't spent the last several days playing Prey. I can only take so much dystopian sci-fi before getting fatigued. Wait for sale seems like perfectly reasonable advice.

[@ACGreviews]

true that

[@GeEmTeVe]

JarvisTheBest you know what's funny thinking about all the recent games at a time out there pretty much all dystopian sci-fi games lol Horizon Neir Gravity rush Mass effect Prey

[@goddessahri2838]

Ryan Davis you forgot pamela

[@mouthmw]

Yeah I was thinking getting either Prey or The Surge, but since I'm currently in the soulslike game mindset, I went for The Surge. Prey does look pretty damn good though, but it just didn't grab my attention enough I guess (and I'm a huge System Shock & Bioshock fan).

[@goddessahri2838]

mouthmw didn't like bioshock but or dishonored franchises but prey is actually fun and interesting

[@luisallen8654]

I've been interested in this game but needed to hear the almighty review god karak before doing anything

Gameranx sucks now lol

[@raible9554]

+Frosty ! I know. Ever since I found this channel and Downward Thrust, I can barely get through a Gameranx "review" videos as it's just littered with bias to make games look better.

[@SunCityGamer]

Damn this channel fucking rocks! Please never stop reviewing games!

[@ACGreviews]

thanks

[@brandonleesmith1989]

Looks like a Fear Factory album come to life.

[@pillshere6037]

You're definitely my go to reviewer now man, you explain to the last piece of the game and that's what a review should be. It really makes the decision to buy or not easier​ when you can tell the reviewer knows the shit he's talking about.

[@ACGreviews]

thanks new

[@bigbird908]

"I was born in a prison.." Hey, PS Plus crowd, remember those words... This is a fantastic game. My first Souls-esque game.

[@bryanmartin8935]

[@wakkjobbwizard]

I just recently played through The Surge after getting it for free in April and I have to say the game is solid. Definitely needs a bit of polish in some areas but overall definitely worth a good chunk of my time. I got the platinum trophy too.

Hi ACG. I was just rewatching your old review of dishonoured 2. I commented on it some stupid thing and you actually replied to me in a cool manner telling me why I was wrong. Anyway I just wanted to say that you were right and I appreciate what you are doing!

[@Fafafohi]

Your reviews get better and better. They've all been honest, but the way you express your ideas/critiques gets better with every review. Great job!

[@TheFreeToaster]

Thank you for not making this review a constant comparison to the souls series like everyone else. This is the only review I've seen so far that judges the game on its own merits without directly comparing them to DS

[@HydraCFW]

Looks good for free gonna get on PS+

[@jonasking9587]

This is my jam. I watched a couple of other reviews, and was surprised that not a one mentioned the fluidity of the movement and combat.

[@SketchBookShortFilms]

I didn't hear about this game until I saw TB talk about it and after watching your video I'm even more interested. Given that this is the second Soulslike attempt from the same studio behind Lords of the Fallen it seems like they're getting closer to what made FromSoft's masterworks tick even if they haven't truly nailed it yet. The trend of games like The Surge and Salt and Sanctuary trying to iterate on the Souls series is definitely one that I'm happy with. From showed what could be done through such iteration with Bloodborne, and I'm really excited to see how different settings and tones can be used to influence the design of a game like this. Someone on Reddit posted these images of what a soulslike might look like if set in contemporary Japan and it really shows where just a little creativity can lead a game like this.

[@shawnep340]

Totally agree with the final suggestion. I bought LOTF day one and was pretty underwhelmed, and while this looks much better, I still don't feel it's $60 better. The one thing this game makes me curious about though is if FromSoft might at one point try a sci-fi version of their own formula. Its not like they've never dabbled in such a setting (Armored Core)

[@theonlyotherclone]

I like that he complimented Nioh

[@jfc_whyte2944]

The demo popped up on my dashboard on Ps4 and I downloaded it...Gave it a try and I love it. Watched the review to see how someone else felt about this game and of course your reviews are always top notch. I felt the same way about waiting for a sale on this game. At 41.99 (if you have plus) It just doesn't seem the price. Hopefully it drops to 30 or lower because that's where I'd put my money in at. The story just doesn't seem to really be there in the demo, so I don't really feel it's gonna be there in the full game. I will say that out the gate with the wheelchair, I felt that was something iconic because what game do you start out in one? Not any I've played. Gave a real uniqueness to this.. I hope I'm wrong on this story being lacking when I get the full version sometime down the road. Anyhow, great review as always.

[@TheSwiatu]

Despite the fact, that you speak slower than usual I have to say your reviews are great. I was really interested in this game, and after few other reviews I actually learned A LOT more from yours. Thanks!

[@ACGreviews]

ok

[@AndreWakefield]

I'm glad that they switched the Souls formula up a little bit. The game doesn't look all THAT great, but I'm happy that they tried a futuristic approach to it. I will buy it on a steam winter sale or something like that

[@ACGreviews]

Snagged this as a sale so looking forward to playing this. Need something to wash away the tears when I played Prey.

I've seen it for £30, which doesn't seem too bad for the length of story. Longer than dawn of war 3 at least. Cheers for the swift review, I nearly paid full price for this!

[@kylelussier7323]

Choice between this and Prey and Prey won. Not disappointed. Definitely will be getting this in a dead games month maybe this summer though.

So glad I picked this up last night at 9. Thank you for the review man. I'm happy to see Deck 13 didn't make a Lords of the Fallen 2 and did this instead.

[@MiSsToX1c]

Ive been watching your reviews since I found you looking for a Halo MCC review about two years ago. You really have grown since then, killer job ACG!

[@theaveragelevi]

Always very honest and informative, I never buy a game anymore without watching the review from this channel. Keep up the great work!

[@dankatz5224]

Myself and a friend poured about 8 hours into Surge yesterday and are having a blast! I agree though with the criticisms in this video. I have felt there are some gaps in the enemy types - compared with Dark Souls, it seems almost all enemies are kind of player-equivalent types that it is best to single off and tackle one at a time. This game could have benefited from more swarm-type enemies and the kind of strategically placed tanks / mini bosses which inspire terror in the Souls games until you learn how to deal with them. it's the strategic challenges that correographing different encounters with a mix of these enemy types which made Souls' combat so deep and meaningful. I also think a couple of very simple changes would improve the experience - a basic character creation tool would have been welcome, as would the ability to unlock new colours and textures to paint your armour with, just to make him your own, and some kind of multiplayer arena. Having said that I'm very happy they chose to invest their work where they did - into the combat, gameplay mechanisms and general balance - and I think this bodes well for future games in the series, where the other bells and whistles can straightforwardly be included and expanded upon. I think this game has so much room to grow into that I personally do not for a second regret paying full sticker price at launch, though I think this review is very fair, as always from this excellent channel.

[@HXKUSAI]

The biggest thing for me is the lighting/graphics which doesn't do it justice on my mobile device watching these but on my monitor look rock solid

[@Luwispurpul]

Now I want a Flux Capacitor ballsack. Damn you Karak!!!

[@ACGreviews]

[@Vayne18X]

The bodies for human combatants appear to have been rigged with a Galaxy S7 to combust upon their death. In the stream I watched yesterday, the obtaining of weapons and power armor parts felt like Silence of the Lambs á la robot style, creepy and concerningly satisfying.

[@ctrouble2309]

been checking your channel all day for this! always get your reviews out before anyone and always include more info appreciate it man

[@xSiynClairx]

Awesome review ACG! Well detailed and informative as usual

[@ACGreviews]

[@Alex99-x]

I really enjoyed your review and as fan of the souls games I still preordered this, due to the improvements from Lords of the fallen, plus from watching different opinions on the game, it still looks really fun.

[@ACGreviews]

enjoy!

[@TheOneGreat]

OFFICIALB00TYHLE Don't preorder.

[@TheOneGreat]

DieterGebieter: Reviews, War Thunder und mehr Don't preorder.

[@TheOneGreat]

DieterGebieter: Reviews, War Thunder und mehr Ah, classic YT comment section. On a more serious note, why do you think we have focus groups, preordering, preorder bonuses or anything to do with buying a game early? It's because publishers still think it's the best way to screw us over. I don't care if Jesus himself spoke to you in your dream about buying this game. If you buy before launch (why can't you buy it the day it comes out? Or wait for actual reviews in case something gets changed via a dreaded day one patch?) you're fueling these practices. I could end with name-calling but that's such a cliché at this point.

[@Alex99-x]

Payadopa I think you're taking this way too seriously, I always preorder my games cause I know what to expect, but it is what it is, plus it's just a video game so don't stress too hard about it. Not trying to hate, just giving my take on your opinion :)

[@deagles.4910]

I was on the fence about this one for my May purchase , Thanks for making it easy for me to just wait it out for a price break.

"Like the players sprinting across the surface of a slowly rotating rotisserie chicken covered in scare and death." Beautiful.

[@FlankinNShankin]

Man your reviews are the absolute best in the business! Informative on a deeper level than any other I can think of. Highly amusing as well. Keep it up dude. The only place I come to make an informed decision.

[@ACGreviews]

thanks sir

[@shayatan3]

your reviews talk me into buying games in the beginning and then talk me out of buying them by the end.

[@jrod7929]

Hands down best reviewer on the planet. Lays it out in an informative, highly entertaining and witty manner. Easy to pick out what we, as individuals, would each look for in a game and then allow us to place an emphasis on what caters to us. The end rating, to me at least, isn't nearly as important compared to how well the informative nature of the review is presented.

[@dankatz5224]

As far as the controls (tiny bugbear here) it caught me out a couple of times that you press L2 to cycle between enemy targets, whilst the stick is used for aiming at specific body parts. I would have preferred flicking the right stick left or right to change enemy, and perhaps moving the stick whilst holding L2 to target certain body parts, maybe in slow motion like picking from the weapon wheel in GTAV. It would be a bonus if it remembered your last target point for the next enemy you see, since a lot of the time you are farming particular body / armour parts and it gets a bit tiresome especially when you have to select the chest piece, which can be fiddly. It would also be cool to have an implant which foregoes manual targeting, and instead automatically aims at any part which is unarmoured.

[@kirkenstiensmonster]

I am really happy to hear that you dig the game. I take your opinion very seriously, as I feel you have a grasp on what a good game should be. But, there is no way in hell I can wait for a sale to purchase this. I have it preordered and waiting for download as soon as midnight hits on my PS4. You sold me on Nioh not too long ago and i was not disappointed, but waiting is not something I am good at, especially if it comes to a "Soul's-like".

[@Bezzina82]

Holy shit Karak, nearly 300k subs! Good work man!

[@knighthawk3759]

[@mrhenrik7472]

Great lighting techniques and shadows can make a game look incredible good. Just look at S.T.A.L.K.E.R at night. Still looks fking awesome. You see some guys at a distance with flashlights when the whole place suddenly lights up when they start shooting..

[@Ceece20]

Seemed interesting until the mention of bosses. People tend to lose this between action style, pvp, and visuals, but Dark Souls had amazing bosses with unique moves that you needed to learn and git gud. There is a ton of satisfaction after killing a boss that took you 5, 10, or even 15+ tries. It is a challenge for that reason. Not having bosses is like missing out on a big chunk to me and without those unique bosses I feel like it's just underwhelming. So no unless it gets a dramatic discount later count me out.

[@ACGreviews]

yep tons of folks are happy with this chance as its not Dark Souls but in the genre so each to their own

[@Ceece20]

ACG eh still, bosses can sometimes sell a game. I play WoW so I really don't need more trash mobs in my life. But thanks for the reply.

[@Watheverable]

I had a feeling this was a "wait for a sale" type of game since I first saw it, but was waiting for your expert view to see if I was right. Thanks for the in-depth review dude!

[@gamezenchill]

Congrats on 300k subs and thanks for the great reviews always Carrick/Carrot ! :P

[@leeson865]

I agree with all your points Karak. I absolutely love Dark Souls games and I've been playing the Surge for 7 hours now and it's not scratching that itch. I think one of the beautiful things about the Dark Souls games is that you never quite know what's around the next corner. The Surge falls short in two major points that destroy that feeling of wonder and joy of exploration the Souls series does so well: 1. Locations look too similar. You always know what's around the next corner. The same thing as the previous corner: more robot factory. 2. Crafting instead of finding armor/weapons. I'm not excited to pick up items and find secrets in this game because it's all literally junk. Sure, I could break it down and make something with it, but that's not the same feeling as finding a chest with "Flaming Sword of Badassery" in it. No matter what people say, difficulty is not what makes the Souls series special. It's simply there as an ingredient in the magical concoction mixed together by the game to illicit those feelings of wonder, relief and reward.

[@onearmedbandit84]

Almost at 300k! You deserve so much more.

[@ToddsDiscGolf]

Thinking about getting this, thought to myself "wonder if ACG has a review." GOTDAMN right he does!! Thanks!!

[@drewburningham1238]

The character looks like is Optimus Prime was human

[@thekaiser8058]

I'm really interested in this title, ever since your interview. The Dark Souls style game is fascinating, because I'm a fan of games with an arcade-y feel and solid, skill-based controls. I only have played Dark Souls 1 in this style, and it bothered me because of the fact that every normal enemy died in one hit, and the boss killed me in two hits, which felt very unbalanced. The Surge seems to balance that out, so I'm a fan.

[@ACGreviews]

enjoy it

[@alphonseelric5722]

"normal enemy dies in one hit and boss kills me in two hits" Really no idea which game you were playing but definitely not dark souls.

[@thekaiser8058]

My experience wasn't good. Asylum Demon took almost no damage (would kill me in six hits, but I could fight it for ten minutes and not kill it) so I took the firebombs at the beginning and beat it easily. Everyone was easy until the Tauros Demon, which I couldn't fight because he just fell off a cliff the first time I met him. Everyone after was easy until the Bell Gargoyle, which throws two bosses at me when I had never honestly fought one. The big dragon in the Dragon Nest I exploit killed too, because he would one-shot me but never actually moved. There's also the Capra Demon that I haven't killed yet because the dogs pin me quickly. Overall, not a good experience.

[@finedecision5639]

Probably the best souls-like game that is the most different souls-like game

March 2018 UPDATE Finally got around to purchasing it. Tips: Learn counters Figure out what CHIPS would be best for your game style Pick 1-2 main weapons and stick with them. (One elemental great sword type, one short sword type for speed) Practice and don’t rush. Do you like the obvious games this is compared to? If yes then 100000% buy it. Runs brilliant and since Souls 3 and Bloodborne I been desperate for something else. This has just joined my fave games of all time list. Trust me , the sequel is coming so get involved on this game NOW. Worth every penny. Don’t rush and be aware that’s it’s a good few hours to your brain clicks and you FEEL THE GAME. Like Souls and borne it’s an art form of timing etc. We all know that addiction. This is brilliant

[@TheJokerr21]

Really nice work again, just waited for your review :)

[@rogerskinner6320]

As for the hiding enemies... Have you ever met a slacker? They hide in strange places at work sometimes getting high, drunk or just napping. Iv witnessed this IRL. It's crazy what ppl try to get by with. And think I am a bad guy by being mad at them for hiding while getting paid out of my pocket to do the job they agreed to do....

[@eiadtarabulsi]

I've been very anxious to play The Surge the moment I heard about it. The game is similar to Dark Souls which is fine with me. Even though the game looks good and it has some pretty good level design, it does suffer from some bland looking areas, repetitive locations and some low texture work as well. The combat more than makes up for it. Its brutal, hefty and weighty. Of course, dismembering enemies in slow motion never gets old which makes combat immensely satisfying. Audio design is done pretty well with some decent voice work, the various sounds that the machines make and the crunchiness of the combat. The game is very challenging. The upgrade system works very well. The campaign lasts around 20 hours, not including side missions, etc. Its a shame that the game suffers from too much repetitiveness in regards to the enemies that you fight as well as the locations that you visit. It doesn't completely hinder The Surge's fun factor. but it does bring it down a bit for sure. Thanks Karak for the awesome review!

[@Rennyblue]

Well made video as always Karak One of the things I check before buying a game is your review, your reviews are as thorough,summarized and most importantly authentic as it gets. Keep at it man don't succumb to darkness and turn into a commercial reviewer ;p

interesting bit of insider information: deck 13 had an employee that is at naughty dog now, working on uncharted ;)

[@ACGreviews]

cool

[@johnnonamegibbon3580]

The animation and character modeling is gorgeous. Most western games don't animate this well. It's kind of hard to explain, but I've never seen a western game with the art appeal of a Bloodborne.

I don't always agree with your critics, but I think you keep being one of the best on KZbin, if not the best one. Thank you!

[@ACGreviews]

ACG on top of the early reviews as always. Very good channel.

[@Kokopilau77]

Ty for the review Karla - I need to hold off and play some of the crap I have on my plate now. I do have to ask - how difficult is this compared to Nioh? I find that easier than the Souls' series, but have also come close to breaking a controller with some of it's bastard bosses.

[@riggedforepic6293]

Another great review delivered with no nonsense and hilarious linguistic gymnastics in equal measure

[@drinkmorewater3212]

You're my go to reviewer! Good stuff as always :)

[@ReadyAimFire_]

I thought about waiting for sale, and this review fully convinced me. This game is very expensive in my country, but doesnt look as good as some other titles. I mean it may be fun but i guess its not as good as Souls or Bloodborne (and its more expensive) and it doesnt have this AAA feel (maybe because it looks quite boring, not a lot of different areas, just bland industrial ones). It feels like decent cheaper game, but its highly overpriced. Publishers are greedy these days. Ill wait.

[@vgJunkyard]

I was interested in this game, still am, but since you recommend waiting for a sale, I think I will. Thanks for the review, Karak!

With the way the review went I really thought you were gonna say, "If you like Soulsbourne type games it's a must buy". But either way dope review as always.

Looks like they've nailed the combat this time,nice animations too.I hope they've put in enough enemy variants and not just colored differently.Looks boss and can't wait to play it. Also that other game lords of the fallen was good for newbies like me,but i'm level 25ish on dark souls 3 and it's taking over my life.I'll fit this in though for sure. Good review again karack.:)

If the developers are the same guys who made Lords of the Fallen it then seems more obvious now that they're trying to complete with FromSoft.
