I’ve talked about writing this for a bit now, but here we are. Loan Shark was recently released on Xbox by Dark Product. It was also recently released on Loan Shark Coming to Playstation 5 January 20th, and while they probably would have sent me a copy if I asked, the price is so low, I simply picked it up to support a great company.
The game costs about $5 and takes at most about 45 minutes to play. It is a psychological horror game. You play as a figherman who took out a loan from a loan shark to buy a boat, and you owe a lot of money. You need to fish to earn that money. As luck would have it, a magical fish is willing to help you catch some special fish. If you are willing to make some hard decisions.
Now I can’t say much more without heading into spoiler territory, but how you make these decisions will change how the game plays out. Hell, you can simply not make these choices and see what happens. Sit there for 45 minutes and let the timer run out if you want.
The gameplay itself is solid; it is a simple fishing game that the game does a perfectly fine job explaining. Nothing too challenging if you have ever played any fishing game or mechanic in an RPG before. Gutting the fish is also quite simple. Graphically, the game is serviceable; it won’t win any awards, but compared to most games at this price point, it is downright amazing. I have no complaints, and it is free of any glitches. The game is an 8/10 experience and well worth the money. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
