The Surge | Final Boss and Ending | All Achievements

Описание: My thoughts on The Surge:
Pretty cool, challenging and often frustrating af game, like any Dark Souls-inspired game should be. It's kinda like a bitchy and abusive hot girlfriend, when you have no self-esteem, you just keep coming back for more! Got me into it because of its kickass tech designs and nifty combat and craft system, it's just too bad the main char was unapologetically one- dimensional and boring, much like his surroundings.

I mean, all the areas and complexes were very well designed (albeit confusing and labyrinthic to make up for the fact that they're too damn small). I dig industrial design and this game had some great talent working on all the details, they even coupled it with nature (which I love) but it's just that it severely lacked the human element which made it stale after a while. Yes, there's a few NPC's here and there but the lack of meaningful interactions felt like you're just talking to robots most of the time. After a while, it just makes you feel emotionless and disconnected from all the metal action.

On a sidenote, it's also interesting that this isn't a "From Software" game, I mean, by all intents and purposes this should've been the first "Dark Souls" game, considering the company's track record with the Armored Core series with all their attention to mechanical design.

In closing, this game is not for the casual crowd but for people looking for a good challenge and it's one of the best the genre has to offer. I'm definitely looking forward to The Surge 2 and hope they improve the flaws I mentioned. Meanwhile I'll consider buying the "A Walk in the Park" expansion to support the devs ^^
