As I tried to get the hang of dodging and tail swiping, I would be quickly murdered by nearby alligators, making for a bit of an annoying experience. I also had trouble fighting aggressive enemies even near my level at first.
#MANEATER REVIEW PATCH#
I had a rough patch early on in the game, when my shark was still a Teen, where I would come across a multitude of tasks but could not complete them, either because I was under-leveled or purely didn’t have the jumping and lung capacity to get to it. The question is more whether or not you can actually do it right now.
There’s always something to do just a short swim away from where you are. More importantly, it’s very easy to find these tasks with a mix of a helpful map menu and your shark’s sonar (which, no, real-life sharks do not have). Maneater provides you with more than enough collectibles, side-quests, and other tasks to do during each episode. It sounds like a tedious task, but for the most part, it’s not. Typically you’ll have a few mainline quests to complete, but you’ll also have to complete some side objectives, like getting to a certain level or finishing a certain percentage of tasks in an area. Each chapter (or episode, to stick to the docuseries angle) requires you to complete a number of tasks in order to see the cutscene that moves you on to the next area. Most of your time in Maneater is spent ticking off items on a to-do list. It’s great and really spices Maneater up during its downtime. You can’t help but chuckle at the jokes the game throws at you, or grumble at the narrator for their scathing remarks when you bite off more than you can chew and die to another apex predator. It’s appropriately ridiculous for a game that’s about being a shark. Sharks are kind of like tigers of the sea anyway, right? A cheesy narrator will comment on your shark’s progress and quest completion, and chapters will be bookended with “real-life” footage of Scaly Pete and his shark hunting business. Do you like Tiger King? You’ll love Maneater. The absolute best part about the story is that the cutscenes are presented like a bad docuseries.
Your mother was killed by some jerk shark hunters, you see-why couldn’t they just let her feast on humans in peace? So you hide in the waters, growing, learning, becoming more deadly in your plot to take down Scaly Pete once and for all. In Maneater, you start off as a little baby shark. Well, I’m here to tell you that not only is Maneater pretty darn good, but you can literally eat the rich in it.
A game where you just eat people and cause terror in the seas? Sign me up! As the months went by without much information, however, I started to get a little worried-will it be as good as I want it to be? Will the underwater gameplay work out? What’s the story anyway? I went into reviewing Maneater cautiously optimistic, hoping for something great but not quite sure what I was going to get. When I saw the very first trailer for shark RPG Maneater, my interest was immediately piqued.
