The Surge: A Walk in the Park Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
The Surge: A Walk in the Park shows the team at Deck 13 are getting better and better with everything they develop, and the expansion as well as the base game itself remains compelling enough if you're a fan of the Souls-like. Whatever the team does next, I'm sure they'll bring something even more absorbing than The Surge.
If you’re a fan of The Surge and you’re fine with the idea of A Walk in the Park only taking up a few hours of your time, I’d say jump into it. It may be quite short but it’s enjoyable every step of the way, and there’s plenty of goodies to carry through to the rest of the game. For those expecting a longer running time, however, you may want to wait until A Walk in the Park becomes a little cheaper. Though do make sure you pick it up.
The Surge: A Walk in the Park is the latest DLC that focuses on an adventure in an amusement park. What could go wrong? Or better yet, what hasn't?
2017 has seen the release of a couple of action RPGs clearly influenced by From Software's Soul series, each of them offering a different take on the brutally challenging experience made popular by the Japanese developer. While Team Ninja's Nioh brought the experience to ancient Japan, Deck13's The Surge brought it into the future, with robots going haywire, AIs going rogue and so on. The setting isn't the only thing that makes The Surge more than just a Dark Souls clone, as the combat, in particular, manages to be even deeper, with some interesting offensive and defensive options.

The Surge: A Walk in the Park is an over-the-top, hilarious expansion to a great game that sadly ends far too quickly .
Despite not adding anything new to the gameplay of The Surge or providing many rewards to returning players, A Walk in the Park provides more of the wickedly fun combat and detailed environments that we saw in the main campaign. The juxtaposition of the family-friendly funtime setting and technological horror is at times goofy and genuinely chilling, and even with a fairly basic set of objectives, exploring the ruined park was a fun way to spend a few hours back in this world.
