You play the shark. Eat fish, wildlife and swimmers to evolve, upgrade your bite and hunt the hunters back, all narrated as a straight-faced wildlife documentary. The B-movie tone is the appeal and it commits to it. The recurring complaint is technical rather than creative: crashes, stutter and startup failures on modern Windows come up constantly, even from players who finished it.

Ninja Theory's reboot, with a reimagined Dante switching between angel and demon weapons in a Limbo that reshapes itself around him. As a standalone action game the combat is fluid and the levels are the most visually inventive in the series. It is also mechanically simpler than DMC3 or 5, the writing tries hard to be edgy, and the constant camera shake genuinely causes motion sickness for some.

The close of the Lords of Shadow trilogy, alternating a weakened Dracula between his castle and a modern city, with the same weighty whip combat as the first game plus magic and platforming. Its reputation is deserved in one specific way: the modern-city stealth sections are widely disliked, and the game is poor at signposting where to go or what an acquired item is for.
