Pretty impressive for a student project. I especially like how smoothly you can chain the different moves to navigate the obstacles.

Looks neat but unfortunately the controls are janky enough that I could not continue past the first boss

Игра «Surge» — это увлекательный шутер с элементами стелс-игры, где игроки управляют кибернетическими агентами в мрачном будущем. Графика выразительная, а боевая система динамичная, с возможностью использовать различные виды оружия и навыки. Сюжет скучен, но зато геймплей захватывает: каждый уровень — это новая головоломка, где нужно учитывать слабости врагов и окружение. Однако повторяемость миссий и минимальное количество персонажей снижают долгосрочную привлекательность. Для любителей аркадного действия — отличный выбор, но фанатам глубокого сюжета может показаться скудновато.

Couldn't progress past the first boss, and there's overall a bit of sluggishness and jank, but this is very impressive for a student project/free game. There's the bones of a real good game here.
