At its best in the hand-built cities and the faction questlines, where the writing and the systems both hold. Ship building is deeper than it first appears. The exploration loop is the weak point — procedurally generated planets repeat their points of interest quickly, and the constant loading screens between surface, ship and space break any sense of continuity.

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.
