Not a bad game, really gives the vibes of a 2000's Xbox 360 game for some reason. I chose to retire the game instead of beat it though. The game is very repetitive after a while. Still worth buying on a sale for some dumb fun.

It might be a bit cheesy, yet it's still a fun game to get some relaxation done while eating things... It's short yes, but still fun. Even the DLC is a bit of extra fun. (Edit: After almost 18 hours of game play i have all achievements. I have played the game before, many years ago when it first came out on console, yet I still enjoyed it enough to fully complete the entire game. If you want a good simple game to relax. Go for it.)
Super fun game and absolutely hilarious! After completing this game to 100%, I've decided to edit my review a bit and provide more context. My original statement above still stands. This game was a refreshing break from the over-saturated stories and mechanics that many newer titles offer. While those are great games within their own right, it's nice to get away from that and experience something more mindless and silly. This game was relaxing to play, while still establishing variable challenges and mechanics. The DLC also provided a welcomed extension to the main story. There were some moments where the game felt a little repetitive, but that's a given considering the overall narrative and objectives. It runs smooth and I didn't experience any glitches or issues while at full setting optimization. Chris Parnell is also one of the best Voice Over artist in the game and his narration throughout my play-through was witty, ridiculous and enjoyable.
GTA - but you are a shark. Fast-paced, arcade-like action gameplay. No need to buy the DLC.
Won't even open or play at all. Super buggy. Looks fun but cannot play :(
As someone who has always been interested in sharks and marine life, I was ecstatic when I first discovered this game. The small details, such as the captive Orca having a collapsed dorsal fin, down to the cutscenes, all had me hooked for hour-long play sessions. The DLC was super fun, this was the first game I decided to 100% just because I loved it so much ! 10/10
Great idea, but terrible execution. Way too repetitive.
hot diggity dang, its an interesting game, one could say it would be perfect for handhelds BUT AT 8 WATTS AT 720P WITH LOWEST POSSIBLE SETTINGS ON RYZEN 7840u(basically same as Z1 Extreme) IT HARDLY EVER REACHES #) FRAMES PER SECOND, WHAT THE FRICK!?!
Nice game. The time challenge is hard because I keep lagging mthfrcking laptop.
The game is fun but never have I seen a game that crashes as much as this. It's ridiculous, it crashed 10+ times in under 3 hours
