@karskikatti47324 years ago I love the game. It' s easy enough that you can just have fun with this game. It' s also not taking itself too seriously. 4
@

@adamdavis17374 years ago For someone like me. It was worth it. Playing through a 2nd time even. But i can' t lie that it could have and should have been better.
there' s for me it' s worth it only because i' m such a nut for sharks and marine life in general. For most everyone else, wait for a sale. ...Expand 5

@MasterMayhem784 years ago I' m having a blast playing this game. The simplicity keeps it fun. You only need to hold l2 to get around faster. L2 is basically your run button. btw, the ps4 back button attachment is a godsend for this game and allows for much more comfortable controls. Pair that with the ps4 accessibility button remapping and you can basically map the controller how you want it. ...Expand

@crawlingkhaos89704 years ago As a fan of absurd crap like earth defense force, metal wolf chaos, saints row and deadly premonition, i absolutely adore this game. Not a game you go although, if i had to give this game a negative, it would be that the va for scaly pete takes his role too seriously in a game like this.
if anything, if a sequel for this game gets made, i highly suggest that tripwire take a page from d3 publisher and make said sequel make even less sense and be taken even less seriously, in the vein of earth defense force.
make it even more over the top and violent.
and do as some reviewers suggest, give the shark laser canons and a jetpack or some over the top absurd crap like that.
a game like this is begging to be entirely not taken seriously and more as a stupid, non-serious, yet fun and over the top game experience.
if they can do that, i' m down for purchasing a sequel. ...Expand

@cheeseman19044 years ago The only thing i dislike about the game is it' s so short. I got 100% on all areas, killed scaly pete, legit got everything done in 12 hours.

@Shadow1177x4 years ago The game needs dlc at least free dlc just cause of the lack of evolutions and how short and quick it is to complete the game. I still like it tho really fun game once you start unlocking more.
