The Surge guide

The Surge is a game that wears its influences on its sleeves. If you have played games like Dark Souls, Bloodborne or even developer Deck 13’s last game, Lords of the Fallen, you should be fairly familiar with most of the game’s systems.

In Polygon’s guides, we’ll teach you everything you need to know about The Surge’s leveling system, as well as tips and trick for mastering combat and staying alive, as well as the unique leveling system.

Finally, as we wrote in our review, The Surge’s boss battles are notable challenges, so we also have guides that will help you defeat each of the game’s bosses.
