≠ Its own twist: deep simulation and dark, oppressive atmosphere, while skipping shooter
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.
Released 3 years after Horizon Zero Dawn.
