    It's a great game when working, has some flaws but I can't fault the fun factor. I genuinely love the game when it's working.

    HOWEVER it's currently overheating consoles to the point they shutdown (Xbox One S/X & PS4 Pro) meaning many people can't play at the moment. There's also a save corruption issue that has resulted in many players getting near the end but having to restart. No ETA    It's a great game when working, has some flaws but I can't fault the fun factor. I genuinely love the game when it's working.

    It's not a recommended buy in its current state. Tripwire are also ignoring please for allowing refunds via PSN/Xbox store while they sort the issue...    … Expand

    Would be good but it crashes on the busiest boss fights. Unacceptable QA, games shouldn't be released in this state.

    12 hours for 100% after 3 hours you will do always the same things. It was fun at the beginning. Really good! But after a few hours...

    There are some cool places under water. But you can't do anything with it. You can't even destroy the hot dog stands! The game looks like a game from 2010 when you look at humans for example

    This is not the shark game you thought it was. Such wasted potential.
    High score's for Shark Documentary style narrative and the Shark Evolution's, Low score's for practically everything else about the game. Watch my Review here : https://youtu.be/dkx2nr4fhTY

    Surprisingly good game. Not too long. Some side missions out stay their welcome and come too repetitive but other than that the game looks and plays great and most of all is different than anything out there.

    Its awesome to play as a shark and just see the shark evolve and in the end you can lay waste of everything. There is even a story in this game. Great job from the developers they    Surprisingly good game. Not too long.

    Knockoff of Jaws Unleashed that came out back in the day. Boring after 20 minutes.

    It may only be single player, but treat it more like the Witcher than a party game: you are the shark, this is your time to rise as queen of the ocean. It may have a slightly bumpy start, as most games of this style do, but once it opens up the world is your… well, ocean. That sounds less dramatic when it’s literal.

    If the idea of zoning out and basking in the serenity of being an unstoppable predator sounds appealing, then consider this an inviting summertime snack.

    Fun open world snack for in between, that is lacking the last bite.
