✓ Both are third-person Action RPGs — sharing deep RPG systems, shooter and third-person shooting

≠ Where it differs: brings action RPG combat and fantasy world, while skipping first-person shooting

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.

✓ Both are third-person Action RPGs — sharing deep RPG systems, adventure storytelling and dark, oppressive atmosphere

≠ Its own twist: action RPG combat and deep simulation, while skipping third-person shooting

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.
