A new trailer as Focus Home Interactive and Deck13 celebrate the good critics for the action-RPG The Surge which released earlier this week. It seems the game is, as of today, the one who offers the best support for PS4 Pro. If you enjoy the game, know that more content is on its way as the publisher and developer will share soon their post-launch plan for the game.

Digital Foundry has done a "Complete Analysis" of the game, and the technical achievement of Deck13 is exceptional.

The combat is very visceral and fast-paced with many combos from both you and the enemies as well. And the exploration is great as there are a lot of shortcuts and secrets just like Dark Souls 1.
Other than those things, the rest is average. But this is definitely a "play for the gameplay" game than a "play for the story" one. For those who never played a Souls game, I would recommend them instead of The Surge, but for those who have played all 3 Dark Souls games and want a fresh Sci-fi setting, this is a great Souls clone.

I like to grind in the souls games so bosses become easier but in this game, even with a lot of grinding the bosses kill me in seconds, so I have no other option than figure it out they attack pattern. The combat is clunky at first but as you gain weapon expertise it becomes much more fluid. I don't know about the PS4 version, but in 30 hours didn't have a single crash.
As you, I was doubtful at first as it is from the same developers from LotF but I am pleasantly surprised.
