Abstract: I want to start this review off by addressing the elephant in the room. The Surge is Deck13's new hardcore action RPG. If that descriptor seems familiar to you, then there is a good chance you have consumed a fair amount of Estus in the past couple of yea...

Challenging, addictive gameplay, Sophisticated level design, Excellent boss fights
Subpar presentation, Rare technical hiccups, Enemy variety is somewhat lacking
