The meta-game in Hungry Shark Primal extends beyond the core gameplay, involving reward and progression systems that keep players engaged over longer play periods. Central to this is the mechanic of unlocking, upgrading, and managing a collection of sharks, providing a sense of progression and accomplishment. Additionally, daily missions and item collections present players with diverse, ongoing challenges that refresh the gameplay experience.
