The best-feeling guns in the series by a wide margin — movement is faster, weapons have real mechanical variety, and the four classes branch further than before. Where it drops off is tone: the villains are grating in a way that undercuts the campaign, and several planets pad their length with backtracking through areas you have already cleared.

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.

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.
