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.

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 5 years after The Pathless.
