Surge 2
24/09/2019

It’s hard to compete with FromSoftware when it comes to the ‘Soulsborne’ genre. But Deck13 is getting closer and closer with every release.

The Surge 2’s predecessor may not have been a perfect game, but it was a more than adequate experience with some great ideas. Now that the sequel is arriving, it’s hard not to be just a little bit excited by the possibility of this new release.
