The Surge is pretty good. by Worm 06/13/2018, 11:05pm PDT
Got it from chrono.gg awhile ago for 25 bucks(with all DLC), probably worth more. Basically it's Dark Souls but instead everyone has ridiculous exo-skeletons that make them go insane you upgrade by cutting up the other guys. Very much dark souls down to the annoying targeting and bullshit guys jumping at you. It doesn't throw as much health or stamina at you as dark souls did, so it feels a little tough until you get used to it.

List before I sleep

Targeting is OK in general and downright bad for some bosses. Though it's nothing worse than Dark Souls 1 yet.

Stages not only are big but are full of shortcuts and double back on themselves multiple times. So not only is it easy to get lost but think you're headed somewhere new just to end up where you began.

There's a good variety of weapons and armor where you basically trade stagger, damage, and attack speed.

Some of the DLC shit is pretty tough and it's just thrown in early enough where you can accidentally end up there. I beat the astronaut in my junk gear so you can too. I'd say leave the theme park until you get up (maybe just go in there to grab the mascot heads though)

Because of all the shortcuts it's not so bad zerging your way through bosses, who obviously are really easy to die to.

Altogether I'd say wait for a sale just because they're working on a sequel so it's likely they'll pop this on sale again. The DLC is neat but you can skip it and the other paid DLC is an item finder ability which is pretty convenient but not end all be all.
