I got this for free on the PS5 and there’s not much to say about it. It’s lacking polish, it’s simplistic with very repetitive gameplay. However, it’s just a laid-back fun time, and just the thing after Death Stranding.
Maneater is not at all challenging and it’s neat to see your shark growing from a tiny thing that struggles to chew a Barracuda to eventually taking down Great Whites, Orcas and Sperm Whales with relative ease.

To sum up my thoughts, I’ll say this game feels like it belongs in a different time, a simple and mid-range game that would come out on the PS2.

It scratched a small itch I’ve had since Jaws Unleashed and I appreciated it for what it was.
