The Surge Free Download GAMESPACK.NET The Surge opens with a scene-setting train ride straight out of Half-Life while Warren, a brown-haired white male straight out of every video game, heads to his first day of work. He’s signing up at future megacorp CREO to be turned into one of their mechanized workers restoring the world after environmental collapse. Then I get control of the camera, spin it around, and realize Warren’s not as generic as I thought. He’s in a wheelchair. The intro that follows has Warren navigate a train station. The waist-high unpassable barriers third-person action games all have suddenly make sense. It plays out like a walking simulator in which you can’t walk, making it plain why this man wants to sign up to be a living bulldozer for a company who seem as trustworthy as Weyland-Yutani. It a bold start, but it doesn’t last. Something goes wrong during Warren’s cybernetic upgrade and he wakes up being dragged to the scrap heap, wearing a cyber-rig that gives him the ability to walk, and also fight his way out of this predicament. Something’s gone wrong at CREO and he and a handful of other survivors are trapped in an industrial wasteland full of cyborgs turned murderous, and The Surge becomes familiar again.TOP/BEST ADULT VIDEO GAMES IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

While its first minute was reminiscent of Half-Life and later it made me think of System Shock 2—choosing a career by choosing a hallway, finding audiologs, being guided by a woman sheltering in a distant part of the complex—what The Surge really resembles is Dark Souls. Like Deck13’s previous game Lords of the Fallen, it’s not so much a love letter to Dark Souls as a delirious tongue bath directed at it.I leave the safety of an Operations room, having upgraded some of the gear plugged into my rig and refilled my injectables, entering the haywire junkyard surrounding it. Malfunctioning workers and drones lurk around corners and fight with deliberate precision; every attack, dodge, or block drains precious stamina. I push on, perhaps getting slightly further than the last time, maybe unlocking a new shortcut back to safety, maybe discovering an oversized boss. More likely I die and reappear back at Operations, leaving the scrap I collected—The Surge’s equivalent of souls—where I fell. All the enemies respawn, so I try again, hoping to progress just a little further. It replicates the rhythm of Dark Souls, but is zippier and tougher than Lords of the Fallen. There’s a timer to retrieve scrap before it’s gone forever, and the combat has body-part targeting and damage bonuses for hitting unarmored parts.

However, if I wail on an armored limb long enough to build up the Energy meter I can sever it for an increased chance of getting that particular weapon or salvaging a bit of damaged armor that can be used in crafting or upgrading my own version. The reason specific parts need to be severed is because enemies melt on death as though their designs are protected by aggressive DRM, leaving only a few points of generic scrap. I target the body of someone whose chest armor I want, then hack them in half with my chainsword. Why doesn’t their leg armor come off as well, since I’ve split them in half? It’s very abstract, but the action isn’t. There are vertical and horizontal attacks, suited for specific limbs, and sometimes a swing won’t hit where I’m targeting because an arm got in the way. It’s a mix of fussy realism and complete abstraction. It also feels like it was designed by someone staring at a whiteboard with RISK/REWARD MECHANIC written on it. Fighting robotic enemies gets boring, however. Against humanoid opponents the combat is fun, but drones are too small to have hit locations and the many legs of spidery robots confuse the system.SpellForce Conquest of Eo

Neither are as interesting as removing cyborg arms like you’re debranching trees. It’s definitely best against humanoid opponents, although awkwardly teleporting into position for a gory finishing animation can cause problems, especially when fighting on ledges or around toxic waste. Billing itself as a “Hardcore Action RPG,” developer Deck 13 assimilates the difficult and labyrinthine style of games like Bloodborne and Dark Souls, and adds its own unique flavor to deliver a challenging and fun – though a bit disjointed – sci-fi survival adventure. You’ll spend the lengthy campaign in an exo-suit exploring a series of locations that check all the trademark boxes of a near-future industrial zone. Some of these environments clearly adhere to the Big Industrial Facility Rulebook, in that all maintenance shafts must look alike, but the majority of each area has its own unique style and a creative layout for its circuitous pathways. The vibrant color palette provides an interesting contrast to the horror of the events taking place within, and despite a few late-game jitters both the areas and action looks great on PC and really good on PS4 or Xbox One. The main story is a fairly predictable excuse for clomping from spot to spot. There are some cool moments early on that lay the groundwork some potentially interesting character development, but those are quickly forgotten as it wades through several classic science-fiction tropes.

Dynamic Combat.

I was able to follow along in broad strokes: “This thing is gonna happen and it’s BAD,” “Here’s a solution to the bad thing, let’s go get it” – but specific details are hazy, especially towards the end. It’s not that I wasn’t paying attention, but a lot of it was either glossed over completely or presented as background noise. A character may be giving a pointed speech about the hubris of mankind, but I’m too busy trying to avoid being clubbed to death by cyborgs to let it fully sink in. It also doesn’t help that what truly interesting moments there are take upwards of 10 to 15 hours of exploration and grinding to reach – though the story does become significantly more intriguing (and convoluted) in the second half. But, as excuses for lumbering around in an exo-suit go, it accomplishes what it sets out to by giving you a decent amount to do. In addition to a few side tasks for NPCs in each area, The Surge does a really good job of letting you discover information in the world around you. There are a bunch of detailed and well-acted audiologs and some great environmental storytelling as well. Anti-suicide warnings are posted on bridges in production areas while screens blast chipper PR nonsense about the “corporate family” nearby, or you’ll find a pair of bodies huddled close together in the back of a maintenance tunnel.

Small design details like this really help flesh out the world, which makes it kind of strange that things get so confusing in the main story. The Surge’s gameplay follows the now-familiar formula of letting you collect as much XP and scrap as you dare while battling various robots, zombified coworkers, and bosses before you cash it in and level up, but if you get killed you’ll lose whatever resources you had on you. Returning from Deck 13’s last game, Lords of the Fallen, are a multiplier mechanic that increases your earnings with each kill and resets if you deposit your scrap or die, and a post-resurrection countdown timer that eliminates your earnings if you take too long to retrieve them. They’re interesting inclusions that dramatically raise the stakes, heightening both the exhilaration of success and the maddening frustration of failing to recover large amounts of XP. Where The Surge really excels, however, is in its combat encounters. The fights might not be the most brutally challenging I’ve ever played, but cutting through a group of enemies is still satisfying. Enemies aren’t particularly smart, which is fine for zombies and drones, but the lack of any self-preservation instinct feels especially out of place when tackling late-game human foes. Still, they all still require a deft hand to counter, dodge, and to generally avoid being murdered by.

New Weapons.

It’s a solid balance of strategic offense and defense and borderline-arcadey hack & slash action that, while campaign’s story lost the ability to motivate me five or 10 hours before I finished it, I found the combat itself enjoyable right up through the end. The most interesting part is the dismemberment system, which not only finishes off opponents in grisly cinematic fashion but also lets you harvest new gear for your exo-suit. Picking which body parts to attack in order to harvest new items adds a cool tactical dimension to fights: what parts do I need to build this item? Is it worth risking the huge pile of scrap I’m carrying to get them? The novelty of each animation may have worn off after a while, but seeing the cue for an execution pop up was consistently satisfying and, on occasion, provided a few much-needed seconds of respite during a stressful fight against multiple opponents. When you do manage to hack off enough arms or bisect enough torsos to build yourself some shiny new gear, expect to spend a fair amount of time agonizing over which of your recycled outfits to don. Each piece of armor grants buffs against various types of damage (as well as boosting other stats).

And since you take these pieces directly from your enemies, you’re able to analyze their strengths and weaknesses accordingly. Can’t get past that armored guy with the big hammer? Well, it looks like the helmet I tore off his buddy is weak against elemental damage, so why not light him on fire or knock him into that toxic waste over there? It’s a simple system, but it does a good job of encouraging you to constantly experiment with the different items in your inventory, especially when coupled with the multitude of bonus-granting implants I could install as I leveled up. The first few minutes of The Surge are nothing if not evocative. It begins on a shuttle. Warren, the game’s protagonist, sits idly as the car marches forward. He’s a gruff, vaguely plain-looking man; the kind of guy whose worn and tired features might easily identify him as a contractor or handyman. But it isn’t Warren’s blue-collar appearance that stands out. Instead, it’s his wheelchair. As the shuttle comes to a halt and control of the scene is handed over to players, Warren’s disability carries a striking weight. When the shuttle’s doors slide open, and Warren wheels himself towards an impossibly polished industrial complex, The Surge is eerily quiet. There’s little by way of character backstory. Players aren’t privy to Warren’s inner monologue. Instead, there’s just the steady squeak of his wheelchair and the occasional disembodied voice of some faraway speaker.

Echoing the empty corporate truisms of an organization known only as CREO As understated as the game’s opening is, it’s not long before The Surge plays its hand. It is an action game, after all, and soon enough Warren swaps his chair for a mechanical exoskeleton. It’s a brutal transition to watch; man grafting machine to his body — all metal and circuitry — for the chance to walk again. The new suit, imposing and useful as it is, is a trade-off in more ways than one. From this point onward, The Surge is no longer interested in exploring Warren’s motives or history. Instead, it’s focused on challenging melee combat and science-fiction tropes. Let’s get something out of the way first. The Surge is (uh oh) kind of (here we go) like (don’t do it) Dark Souls (dammit). It traces over the gameplay edges carved by FromSoftware by emphasizing harsh, often brutal, combat encounters. It encourages blind exploration of sprawling environments. Hell, players even make corpse runs to secure their dropped currency. But unlike developer Deck13’s previous efforts with Lords of the Fallen, The Surge uses its Souls inspiration as an outline rather than a blueprint. Through its defining feature, limb-based targeting and dismemberment, The Surge does enough to feel like its own “thing.”Ancient Dungeon
