If you’re playing The Surge 2 for the first time I strongly advise completing The Kraken before proceeding to the end of the main campaign as the loot you’ll pick up will serve you till the end of the game. With new armour and weapons to collect I sank more time into grinding than I first anticipated, especially as I was on New Game+. The combat and the plot are solid though. It’s not too much to expect more fanfare, is it? It’s anticlimactic when you’re force-fed a few lines of dialogue after completing the main story arc. Another annoyance, which makes the game feel cheap, is Deck13’s consistent use of voiceover as the pay-off for achieving something great. If you’re familiar with The Surge there are certain assets that feel recycled from the corridors of CREO HQ but as it’s set in the same universe it shouldn’t be too distracting. However, this is partially counter-balanced when CAIN moves across the level, opening up a section that freshens it up slightly. This, unfortunately, means the new location is fairly small and once all shortcuts have been unlocked it’ll feel even smaller. The Kraken is a fairly short campaign that can be done in roughly 3 hours. If you’re expecting a DLC package like The Witcher 3 you should rein your expectations in. Once Ezra Shields has been killed, make your way to Port Nixon and there will be an orange life boat waiting for you in the section before the sewers. At this point you should be strong enough to tackle the enemies aboard the Krakow.

The Surge games never make it easy for you to reach the new areas that the DLC unlocks, so in The Surge 2 if you want to reach the VBS Krakow you need to defeat Metal Armor/Major General Ezra Shields, which is about 2/3rds of the way through the main campaign. Your mission is to figure out why the VBS Krakow is washed up on the shore of Jericho City, how CAIN got infected, and find whatever booty the pirates are looking for. The Krakow is a retired airship carrier that has been repurposed as a post-war American utopia, except by the time you board the retrofitted military vessel it has been invaded by pirates… Sentient robot pirates! The Krakow is protected by a multi-limbed AI called CAIN which has been corrupted by the pirates. The Kraken is The Surge 2’s first DLC package, and this self-contained tale takes place on the washed-up VBS Krakow.
