    Surge Deluxe will keep you hooked from start to finish making it one of the best games I have played on the Vita for a long time. With its simple yet addictive gameplay, players will be compelled to keep plugging away at it in hopes of beating their high score, while the Trophies are sure to keep you coming back for more.

    FuturLab demonstrates a fine understanding of what once made puzzle games so great. If you own a Vita, you should buy this -- particularly at such a generous price point.

    Puzzle games have always been a highlight on handhelds, and Surge Deluxe carries on this tradition. It’s amazing that despite largely lacking the AAA blockbuster titles, the Vita has become something of an indie paradise. Surge Deluxe is the latest, and one of the best.

    Bright and beautiful, frenetic and challenging – it’s a wonderful puzzle game that works brilliantly on the PS Vita. There’s not a lot of content, though, and once you get bored of trying to climb the leaderboards you’re unlikely to go back for a blast of the puzzle mode more than once or twice.

    Surge Deluxe is perfect for a handheld system, allowing the player to dip in and out as they please.

    Objectively speaking, it’s a game with visuals that functions, and that’s how it shall be scored.

    An interesting and fast-paced take on the match 3 or more style of puzzler. The constant threat of the time limit and pressure build up willAn interesting and fast-paced take on the match 3 or more style of puzzler. The constant threat of the time limit and pressure build up will keep you on your toes, and it's addictive enough to become yet another game that will have you saying "just one more go." The main mode of the game will keep you coming back in order to beat your best score or unlock more trophies, but I found the game's puzzle mode to be a bit lackluster. I just didn't feel the same addictive quality in it, which disappointed me a bit. Still, the overall package can be an absolute blast. So if you're looking for a fast-paced and addictive puzzler to take with you on the go, then this is worth your time.… Expand

However, true longevity of this game would be just a few hours I would say, because it gts repetitive quite quickly. To be honest, these kind of games should be free, I got it from PS Plus free, so it's all good, but I can't imagine paying for this kind of stuff. 5/10… Expand

    Reviews seem to be mixed for this game but personally I'd have to add it to the long list of pretty forgettable PS+ titles. Maybe it'll offer a way to pass a few minutes whilst sat on the bus but I want a bit more than that on a portable I played £200 for.    … Expand
