Abstract: Despite its futuristic setting there's a strange, Willie Nelson-esque song in The Surge. It's tucked away in the OPs rooms you encounter - OPs rooms being the equivalent of Dark Souls' bonfires. It's a hesitant, downbeat number that starts with the line...

Abstract: The Surge is a new action-RPG by Deck13 Interactive that involves the kind of gameplay elements popularized by the Souls games, something Deck13 explored in their 2014 game Lords of the Fallen. There's weighted melee combat that values player skill over s...

While it may not be entirely original, its fresh setting, smart level design, and limb-targeting mechanics manage to make authentically new ideas in a genre growing with imitators...
