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 5 years after Rebel Galaxy.

The series returns to high-speed action after a long absence: fast, aggressive combat built around a new protagonist rather than Ryu, with more forgiving systems than the notoriously brutal earlier entries. Fans of the older games are the ones who bounce off it — the moveset and structure read closer to Metal Gear Rising than to Ninja Gaiden II, and Ryu is barely playable for most of the run.

Released 10 years after Rebel Galaxy.
