    My summary
    Whoops cut out the word totally when talking about it mitigating issues"
    I liked it for the most part but as the game got into its second half the smaller footprint of overall locations and the way the game plays worked against it. It just needed a couple more locations I think.

    • @AlecsLee
      @AlecsLee 7 лет назад +2

      So, would you say that the locations are generic and repetitive in general terms? and the same goes for the variety of the enemies? something like "i've been here and i've fought those folks a lot of times?" Because those are my principal fears with this game, i mean, i think that i would like the context, the combat, and the souls formula, but for me, a repetitive or generic enviornment and the lack of variety on the enemies, could be a gamebreaker on that type of games...

    I'm actually really excited to get my copy through tomorrow now. The idea of a Souls-like that doesn't suck up a million hours of my life is weirdly appealing to me at this stage.

      I"m here with you, I liked the Dark Souls franchise, but being a family man now I just couldn't sink the amount of time I wanted into it. I mean, I can play it for tens of hours, but I can't get a good long sit down which is what I needed to beat bosses in that game. This seems like it's going to be right up my alley.

    I think this game would be a lot more appealing to me if I hadn't spent the last several days playing Prey. I can only take so much dystopian sci-fi before getting fatigued. Wait for sale seems like perfectly reasonable advice.

      Yeah I was thinking getting either Prey or The Surge, but since I'm currently in the soulslike game mindset, I went for The Surge. Prey does look pretty damn good though, but it just didn't grab my attention enough I guess (and I'm a huge System Shock & Bioshock fan).

    Am I the only one that can't help but wonder how the main character doesn't eventually die from all the infections he must have after the exo-suit "surgery"? It just seems that having things screwed into your bones through your clothes would cause basically a whole skeleton infection from all the fibers being pulled into the wounds... Just thought that was funny, thanks for another quality review Karak.

      DieterGebieter: Reviews, War Thunder und mehr Ah, classic YT comment section.
      On a more serious note, why do you think we have focus groups, preordering, preorder bonuses or anything to do with buying a game early?
      It's because publishers still think it's the best way to screw us over. I don't care if Jesus himself spoke to you in your dream about buying this game. If you buy before launch (why can't you buy it the day it comes out? Or wait for actual reviews in case something gets changed via a dreaded day one patch?) you're fueling these practices.
      I could end with name-calling but that's such a cliché at this point.

    I bought this game after watching a lot of pro and way more con video's. I have to say I really enjoyed the game. It's a change from the usual fighting styles and the environment is very nice. I don't get all the ranting that some reviewers are all about. It is a hard game and you have to grind a lot but I really didn't mind. It honed my skills and made me better at defeating. Boss fights feel epic in my opinion and are very dynamic, as is the game itself as well. Overall I would give it a 8/10. Sometimew the fighting will frustrate you and I never really used the duck and jump option you have while fighting an enemy. That's about it for me. Overall, very good game!

  • @shawnep340
    @shawnep340 7 лет назад +2

    Totally agree with the final suggestion. I bought LOTF day one and was pretty underwhelmed, and while this looks much better, I still don't feel it's $60 better. The one thing this game makes me curious about though is if FromSoft might at one point try a sci-fi version of their own formula. Its not like they've never dabbled in such a setting (Armored Core)

    @SketchBookShortFilms 7 лет назад +1

    I didn't hear about this game until I saw TB talk about it and after watching your video I'm even more interested. Given that this is the second Soulslike attempt from the same studio behind Lords of the Fallen it seems like they're getting closer to what made FromSoft's masterworks tick even if they haven't truly nailed it yet. The trend of games like The Surge and Salt and Sanctuary trying to iterate on the Souls series is definitely one that I'm happy with. From showed what could be done through such iteration with Bloodborne, and I'm really excited to see how different settings and tones can be used to influence the design of a game like this. Someone on Reddit posted these images of what a soulslike might look like if set in contemporary Japan and it really shows where just a little creativity can lead a game like this.

  • @Ceece20
    @Ceece20 7 лет назад +4

    Seemed interesting until the mention of bosses. People tend to lose this between action style, pvp, and visuals, but Dark Souls had amazing bosses with unique moves that you needed to learn and git gud. There is a ton of satisfaction after killing a boss that took you 5, 10, or even 15+ tries. It is a challenge for that reason. Not having bosses is like missing out on a big chunk to me and without those unique bosses I feel like it's just underwhelming. So no unless it gets a dramatic discount later count me out.

  • @baloonyTL
    @baloonyTL 7 лет назад +3

    I think i figured out why this game just didnt feel how i wanted it to. it was range. by this i mean that whatever weapon i chose even if the attacks looked different it was only a matter of mash an attack style until you see an enemy attack coming and dodge. and thats it. i never felt that i chose a weapon because the moveset it just all felt the same. thinking about dark souls games or nioh using a spear was vastly different from say a longsord or dual swords and ended up with a very unique playingstyle throughout the whole game, having me replay the game over and over again just with a different weapon set and feeling it be unique but not in this game. no matter what weapon i used it all felt the same. there are other reasons that i just couldnt bring myself to finish the game and just gave up out of boredom but i never see this one mentioned in any other reviews

    • @dantevic
      @dantevic 7 лет назад

    • @baloonyTL
      @baloonyTL 7 лет назад

      I dont agree there are many times in darksouls where i would do say an r1 with a certain weapon but not continue with the combo because the next attack would be a sideways swing and i had a wall becide me or the attack caused me to move in an undesirable way. I think a better way of puter it is that the weapons has a very pricise hitbox. they were a seperate object that could hit into things and bounce off and the movesets also brought with them movements that had to be taken into account. from what i experienced of the surge you almost get stuck to your enemy and the only thing to consider is dodging its attack and nothing else.

    One of the things I check before buying a game is your review, your reviews are as thorough,summarized and most importantly authentic as it gets.
    Keep at it man don't succumb to darkness and turn into a commercial reviewer ;p

    I've been very anxious to play The Surge the moment I heard about it. The game is similar to Dark Souls which is fine with me. Even though the game looks good and it has some pretty good level design, it does suffer from some bland looking areas, repetitive locations and some low texture work as well. The combat more than makes up for it. Its brutal, hefty and weighty. Of course, dismembering enemies in slow motion never gets old which makes combat immensely satisfying. Audio design is done pretty well with some decent voice work, the various sounds that the machines make and the crunchiness of the combat. The game is very challenging. The upgrade system works very well. The campaign lasts around 20 hours, not including side missions, etc. Its a shame that the game suffers from too much repetitiveness in regards to the enemies that you fight as well as the locations that you visit. It doesn't completely hinder The Surge's fun factor. but it does bring it down a bit for sure. Thanks Karak for the awesome review!

    Thank you for not making this review a constant comparison to the souls series like everyone else. This is the only review I've seen so far that judges the game on its own merits without directly comparing them to DS

    The demo popped up on my dashboard on Ps4 and I downloaded it...Gave it a try and I love it.
    Watched the review to see how someone else felt about this game and of course your reviews are always top notch.
    I felt the same way about waiting for a sale on this game. At 41.99 (if you have plus) It just doesn't seem the price. Hopefully it drops to 30 or lower because that's where I'd put my money in at.
    The story just doesn't seem to really be there in the demo, so I don't really feel it's gonna be there in the full game.
    I will say that out the gate with the wheelchair, I felt that was something iconic because what game do you start out in one? Not any I've played. Gave a real uniqueness to this.. I hope I'm wrong on this story being lacking when I get the full version sometime down the road. Anyhow, great review as always.

    Hands down best reviewer on the planet. Lays it out in an informative, highly entertaining and witty manner. Easy to pick out what we, as individuals, would each look for in a game and then allow us to place an emphasis on what caters to us. The end rating, to me at least, isn't nearly as important compared to how well the informative nature of the review is presented.

    March 2018 UPDATE
    Finally got around to purchasing it.
    Tips:
    Learn counters
    Figure out what CHIPS would be best for your game style
    Pick 1-2 main weapons and stick with them. (One elemental great sword type, one short sword type for speed)
    Practice and don’t rush.
    Do you like the obvious games this is compared to? If yes then 100000% buy it. Runs brilliant and since Souls 3 and Bloodborne I been desperate for something else. This has just joined my fave games of all time list.
    Trust me , the sequel is coming so get involved on this game NOW.
    Worth every penny. Don’t rush and be aware that’s it’s a good few hours to your brain clicks and you FEEL THE GAME. Like Souls and borne it’s an art form of timing etc. We all know that addiction. This is brilliant

    Love the review, my man, as always! Funny, informative, and enjoyable -and despite the shortcomings I'm still super curious about the game and want to check it out :) Also, completely off topic here.. but...
    Dean Hobbs sounds like he's voiced by Connor Trinneer, it's a dead ringer, yet IMDb doesn't say anything, nor does Google. Curious.

    Looks like they've nailed the combat this time,nice animations too.I hope they've put in enough enemy variants and not just colored differently.Looks boss and can't wait to play it.
    Also that other game lords of the fallen was good for newbies like me,but i'm level 25ish on dark souls 3 and it's taking over my life.I'll fit this in though for sure.
    Good review again karack.:)

    Myself and a friend poured about 8 hours into Surge yesterday and are having a blast!
    I agree though with the criticisms in this video. I have felt there are some gaps in the enemy types - compared with Dark Souls, it seems almost all enemies are kind of player-equivalent types that it is best to single off and tackle one at a time. This game could have benefited from more swarm-type enemies and the kind of strategically placed tanks / mini bosses which inspire terror in the Souls games until you learn how to deal with them. it's the strategic challenges that correographing different encounters with a mix of these enemy types which made Souls' combat so deep and meaningful.
    I also think a couple of very simple changes would improve the experience - a basic character creation tool would have been welcome, as would the ability to unlock new colours and textures to paint your armour with, just to make him your own, and some kind of multiplayer arena. Having said that I'm very happy they chose to invest their work where they did - into the combat, gameplay mechanisms and general balance - and I think this bodes well for future games in the series, where the other bells and whistles can straightforwardly be included and expanded upon.
    I think this game has so much room to grow into that I personally do not for a second regret paying full sticker price at launch, though I think this review is very fair, as always from this excellent channel.
