Fun co-op puzzle platforming. Creative and funny, it’s worth it if even for a single session with a friend.

I didn’t know what to expect and I suggest you go in blind too. Unique, heartfelt and wildly compelling, this story and the way it is told is nothing short of a masterpiece.

A multiplayer fighting-game often confused with a soulslike. While you can feel its influence, this is at heart a masterfully crafted fighting-game with a great aesthetic and tonnes of depth.

Utterly brilliant. Takes everything it learned in its predecessor and does it much better. The concepts driving this game are so ingenious and well executed, I cannot recommend it highly enough.

A 3D puzzle platformer that is best, if not exclusively enjoyed with friends. Emergent moments borne of the physics can be rewarding but mainly just hilarious.

To be clear, this is a very good game. I couldn’t get into it, however. The design is clever and ‘endings’ very cool. But the setting, characters, movement & navigation frustrated me to a distracting degree.

As with a lot of soulslikes; The Surge has a few respectable and cool ideas for ideation on the genre, but ultimately falls flat - repetitive enemies & environments, and a not-very-engaging story.
