Developer Deck 13 Interactive are back with their new game, The Surge, which\u00a0once again takes some inspiration from the\u00a0Dark Souls\u00a0series, but mixes it up with some high-tech exoskeletons.<\/p>\n<p>The Surge is set in the future after plans to stop global warming backfired and the only survivors are outfitted with slick exo-suits. In addition to an interesting and socially-relevant story, the game will feature a\u00a0\u201cunique limb targeting mechanics\u2019, which allows you to not only highlight weak spots on enemies, but remove items from their armour that you can then use yourself. You\u2019ll then be able to customise your own exo-suit with protective gear and weaponry from fallen foes.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Surge | Combat Trailer | PS4\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_X3nbCqDLU8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Injustice 2<\/h3>\n<p><strong>16 May 2017\u00a0(PS4, Xbox One)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>NeatherRealm Studios\u2019 superhero fighting game, Injustice, was a smash hit with fans of the genre and DC enthusiasts, and the sequel arrives this week.<\/p>\n<p>Injustice 2\u00a0not only picks up the incredibly-interesting alternate timeline story-arc, but it also ups the roster of fighters, throws in new costumes and upgradable gear (which can help players boost their fighters ala RPG-style), and it also delivers some gorgeous visuals to boot.
