Loses track of its own premise. Jaws Unleashed may be clunkier mechanically but it better understands the appeal enacting shark carnage than this, which despite reaching for Sharknado absurdity gets inundated with generic upgrades. Ends up feeling like a worse Prototype game. Also, for all the writing dedicated to Chris Parnell’s smarmy narration, nothing in this game is as funny as grabbing a scientist with your mouth and slamming him against a card reader to open a door.
This game started off so promising to me, but It's premise wears so thin after a few hours and the game does very little to evolve it's formula to the extent where the later stages of the game were just an exercise in tedium and frustration.
I made the grave mistake of buying the truth quest DLC as well which basically just added an extra 4 hours of the exact same thing I had already grown tired of on top of the already stale experience.
I enjoy strange games that take a wacky premise and run with it, so I can't hate this game, I did afterall mostly enjoy my time as well, I just feel like it should have perhaps been half as long and half as expensive.
I think a sequel that refines and innovates on the mechanics could genuinely be a good time.

Not bad at all. It doesn't overstay too long either, which is good because what is does is kind of limited. Oddly the DLC teaser you get after completing the main game seems more interesting, and apparently they added new mission types which would be welcome because the ones in the game get a bit old after a while. Still, it was pretty fun. One of those B games people keep lamenting no longer exist.
I was hoping this game was actually good, but... Well, graphics and performance are very bad, the gameplay is awful and the main objectives are annoying and repetitive. Only good part on my experience was the storytelling, which is nice because of the reality show vibe. Besides that, I don't recommend this and if u want a game in this gameplay style, I recommend you playing Dredge
