≠ Its own twist: shooter, third-person shooting and horror tension, while skipping precision platforming
Released 20 years after Castlevania.
✓ Both are third-person Action RPGs — sharing deep RPG systems, action RPG combat and adventure storytelling
≠ Its own twist: deep simulation, strong narrative focus and open world exploration, while skipping puzzle design
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 largest of the three by scale: kaiju summons fight alongside you and levels open up considerably. Core combat is as sharp as ever when the game lets you use it. That is the issue — demon sequences, side characters and setpiece variety cut into the moment-to-moment fighting, and the story is the weakest of the series.
