An expansion for The Surge 2
The Kraken expansion adds hours of narrative-driven content with a brand-new storyline and location, as well as a wealth of new weapons, implants and armor to discover and craft. On the outskirts of Jericho City, enter the VBS Krakow, a massive decommissioned aircraft carrier retrofitted as a retreat for the rich and famous. Battle robot pirates, deranged security systems, and an imposing new boss, each with their own unique combat mechanics. Fight hard and uncover the truth behind the desolate military vessel

Story (1/3) - There is barely any story in this dlc. There are ~10 logs to find that explain bits and pieces, but overall it doesn't justify its existence.
Gameplay (2/4) - This dlc adds 2 new armor sets, a few new weapons, and 2 "new" bosses (really only one). Not a lot of content in this to justify more than a dollar. You get maybe one hour of gameplay.
Performance (3/3) - There were no bugs. Voice acting was well done. Acted exactly as described.

As fantastic, offbeat, and aesthetically playful as the base game - shame this was its only expansion, but understandable given its release smack-dab before the COVID pandemic. Genius move to throw this entire DLC on a massive retro-themed ship-turned-floating-town, it fits right into the already vibrant and freakish world the base so keenly crafted. As rad as any game with a boss named "Collective Incinerator" should be.

I always wonder how writers come up with their ideas. I mean take The surge 2's one DLC expansion, The Kraken. In this you get a distress call from a fleet carrier requesting support. Upon arrival on the top of the ship you discover the top of the fleet carrier has been converted into a perfect 1950's neighborhood with drive in, perfect houses, lawns and barbeques. To contrast this the ship has a giant octopus AI sprawled across the deck and the entire ship has been overrun by a hive mind of robot pirates.
Like who thinks this all up? I love it.
It only takes a few hours to unlock everything this DLC has to offer, a few new enemies, a couple of bosses, a handful of new weapons, side quests, audio logs etc. If you like The Surge 2, this is more of the same but with a quirky backdrop to support it. At only £4 though it's priced exactly right for the content you get. It's good fun.
