The Surge has been compared quite a bit to Dark Souls, with a lot of precision striking and punishing difficulty. The difference here is that instead of a suit of armor, you have a mech-like exoskeleton and more technologically advanced weapons than a broad sword or a spear.
The game got pretty good reviews when it came out in May of 2017 and this DLC is shaping up to be a knock-out. Set in an amusement park called CREO World where everything has gone straight to hell, Jurassic Park style, the DLC promises to get away from the more claustrophobic, linear setting that some reviewers had a problem with in the original.
Focus Home's statement wants players to, "Forget your cravings for cotton candy—CREO World was not spared from the Surge. The entire park is a deadly trap, where roaming rescue teams have gone insane and robotic mascots patrol freely, patiently waiting for new visitors to offer a deadly welcome."
Promising to be "more open and colorful, though no less deadly", keep an eye out for our review when the DLC drops on December 5.
