Who would have thought that one day I would make a video about one of the few non-indie souls-likes. Thanks to the Discord voting, this day came much earlier, and therefore today's video about The Surge is one of the first big souls-likes. Did the German Deck13 manage to create a good game despite its reputation, or did the lotf legacy prove stronger? If you like my videos and want to support the channel, the best way to do this is to subscribe, like and tell your friends about the video!
