Once you've played about 30 minutes of Maneater, you'll have experienced just about all there is to do in the realm of combat. Combat in Maneater is the definition of derivative and never really evolves outside of a few late-game boss fights. This is the first shark game I’ve truly enjoyed. Which is odd because I live a few hundred miles from the nearest significant body of water and, based on my diet, likely taste. The action is a bit repetitive and chaotic, but the goofiness of the violence ends up winning out. I’ve always been a little bit terrified of sharks. Despite being able to also utilize your tail and having the ability to chuck enemies into one another, most combat scenarios will simply just see you mashing the right trigger once you get ahold of your target. Maneater is an enjoyable hunt that satisfies in its shark mayhem and story of revenge. Armed with rows of sharp teeth, you chow down on fish, turtles, and unsuspecting swimmers. Though the marquee addition of ray-tracing isn't actually yet implemented.
However, its formulaic open-world design and repetitive mechanics don’t. In it, you play as a baby shark who wants to grow up so she can get revenge on the human who killed her mother. Maneater now runs at 60 frames-per-second and with a native 4K resolution, though honestly these changes are rather minor. Maneater is a fiendishly original concept that just about lives up to expectations when it’s focused on chomping humans.
Maneater review series#
Playing as a shark, you'd imagine that gnashing at enemies with your teeth would be the primary way you do damage-and yes, you'd be right. Parents need to know that Maneater is an adventure game for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Switch, and Windows PCs. While I'm always down for the addition of RPG systems in games considering how much I love the role-playing genre, if what is presented doesn't end up feeling very thought out or novel, there's almost no point in even adding these aspects to begin with.Īnother part of Maneater that ended up being pretty lackluster dealt with the game's combat. Lovers of the water and haters of human beings have reason to rejoice this week, with the release of Maneater, a game in which you play as a shark, swelling from pup to fully. After I found the first few abilities that I really thought stood out amongst the rest, I barely mixed up what I utilized throughout the remainder of the game. Despite having all the simple fixings to make for a fleshed-out RPG, Maneater's role-playing aspects feel pretty baseline.
