I had so much fun with this game. Look there are a lot of issues as this game is definitely not a AAA game (every criticism in the reviews is valid, but the unique fun of the game over powered those negative). However, it totally reminds me of old games where crazy concepts were common(like crazy taxi). For all its flaws it nails the feeling of starting off as a tiny weakling and becoming a powerful force to reckon with. The game really nail the feeling at times of being a shark (arcade shark) and hunting. This game screams to be on gamepass, as the game environment today doesn't really support these type of fun diversion games. However, it shines as an interesting diversion. It has some elements of Tony Hawk as you try to collect plates in weird places, rpg elements as you build your shark, arcade fighters as you battle hunters. It is just an unique experience.
Tips: I inverted the controls and it worked so much better.
Someone, should hire this team, give them some real support and make a new Echo the Dolphin game.
