    Like I said at the start, The Park is an absolutely terrifying game, but what’s continued to haunt me about it long after I’ve put the controller down isn’t Chad the Chipmunk, or the Bogeyman, or the Witch – it’s how distressing and real the game and its themes are once you peel back those monster story trappings.

    Falls well short of the bar set by Everybody's Gone To The Rapture, but this mini-mystery is drowning in atmosphere. The final 20 minutes are great. [July 2016, p.95]

    There will come a day where The Park is available on PS4 for peanuts, and that day is when I’d fully recommend trying its fresh, but flawed, brand of horror out. Until then, the price of admission is too high for the brevity of the ride. Especially for one that has more than a few nuts and bolts missing from it.

    The Park is a bit of an oddity. A walking simulator with an incredibly brief runtime – 90 minutes at a leisurely pace – that nonetheless has some fun ideas sprinkled in.

    The Park is an horror game that fails to be a good one in nearly every aspect.

    The Park is not a brilliant game in technical terms and it is very short (you can beat it in one hour and a half at the most), but I do likeThe Park is not a brilliant game in technical terms and it is very short (you can beat it in one hour and a half at the most), but I do like its storyline and atmosphere. If you assume that it is a few hours experience and forgive its subsequent poor graphics, then you may have some fun.… Expand

    The Park is experienced from a first-person perspective as the player interacts with and experiences the decrepit environment of Atlantic Island Park.

I highly recommend to not deal with this company.

    Funcom games are also in general extremely buggy but every game does has its unique flavor. Its just that the company is too horrible that I can't recommend any of their games.    … Expand
