✦ AI summary

Sharks and Minnows is a thalassophobia horror game that effectively unsettles players with its deep water setting, but it frustrates many by padding the core shark-hunting concept with unrelated minigames, pipe parkour, and collect-a-thons that dilute the focused experience players wanted. While some appreciate the pool-changing mechanic and find the scares genuinely effective, others feel the variety detracts from what should have been a tighter, shorter game, leading several to give up partway through.

When I bought a game called Sharks and Minnows, I kinda wanted to play Sharks and Minnows, not pipe parkour, collect-a-thons, and a bunch of random minigames. It ruined the fun. I get you want to add some variety to the the gameplay, but there's a limit. The mechanic of the pool changing after each lap is really cool, I just wish you stuck with that. I would been fine with just a hour of gameplay, that alone would have been worth the money. Gave up after the 18th death trying to figure out some stupid water puzzle in my "Sharks and Minnows" game.

The authentic horror thalassophobia game that conquered the Internet at one point This game actually hits at home since I am thalassophobic and I hate big open water It was actually scary for me no doubt. And I like games that scare me it was a great game and a great freight I gotta appreciate it

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
