Unlike a AAA disaster, Maneater was designed as a lighter experience. All in all, this game is on the good side of mediocre. Your shark can unlock some interesting upgrades but as with most games that lack vision, by the end of the game, you will have very little opportunity to use those upgrades. Each boat is a single object and destroying a boat means going through the various models for each level of destruction that the developer has made for the boat. There are no strategic options of toppling boats or drawing other predators toward hunters. You have no choice but to absorb damage while you eat through them. In crowded fights, so many shark hunters are shooting at your shark that dodging becomes impossible. You fight by eating and you cannot eat and doge at the same time unless you awkwardly hold your first and middle finger on bite and dodge. This is where the location of the doge button is a problem. You have to doge at the last possible moment. You might think you can shake them off by dodging. Like some kind of underwater Spider-man, your shark will see enemies aiming at it. The combat starts to fall apart when fighting shark hunters. Your shark can heal mid-fight by eating prey. Fights are won in the water by circling around a predator's jays to bit at its flanks. Bill Parnell provides excellent narration that is sometimes funny as it skewers of mankind. Instead of that, the game doubles down on the silly premise that you are watching an exploitative cable show about shark hunters. A better game would show the shark growing and escaping from the confines of mankind to the freedom and splendor of the wild ocean. The environment that have been spoiled by man are a little too realistically dirty. A virtual exploration of the ocean is the kind of escapism I need from a video game. I am not going scuba diving anytime soon. The underwater and land based exploration was also interesting. Unfortunately, the shark can only grow so large, so give up on your dreams of a Megalodon biting ships in half. If you have ever played Feeding Frenzy, you know how this work. I enjoyed the process of growing the shark. Instead it squanders most of its assets for cheap thrills. The could have had BioShock levels of story telling. Yet the best parts of the game are exploring the waterways that have been spoiled by a mankind that is loathe to accept responsibility over the environment. The goal of the game is to eat your way through the ranks of shark hunters until you kill the man who killed your mother. In many ways, the central premise of the game squanders its potential. Driving a shark through a capitalist dystopia is definitely something different. Sometimes I want to try something different.
