Maneater Is a really nice and fun game with a cool idea, controlling a shark that can evolve in the most bizarre things possible and having fun killing human, fish and crocodile, and everything in between.
The story is written well with a lot of jokes and funny stuff in between, a revenge story was never this funny or absurd.
The gameplay is simple and it's no that deep, but to be fair the game doesn't need to be deep to be fun you just kill stuff and evolve with the materials that you gather by killing and develop new abilities like more damage to boats, buff or poisonous bite the list is not enormous but you have a lot of tool to use at your advantage.
The graphics are nice, the only thing I would say are not that great are the human models, other than that the scenery is really good especially when you go from underwater to the surface.
So if you love new idea and a game when you can make chaos just like that this I the game for you.

Dude makes meme games that (tries too hard to) sound fun in concept but the actual gameplay consists of "story mission 1: kill 10 type A fishes; story mission 2: kill 10 type B fishes; story mission 3: kill 10 type C fishes..." Bruh.
The evolution system should sound fun too but the first two ability you get is a meaningless radar sight and getting tiny little bonus material drops for killing enemies if you grind hours for the said material to upgrade this ability. It's not a shark simulator, it's a Sisyphus simulator. Also why would I want to stay hours in some eye-hurting dirty murky industrial waste swamp if I wanted to play as a shark... I couldn't even get a good diving experience from it.

Maneater is absolute ridiculousness and I kinda love it. You're a giant shark eating your way up the food chain, terrorizing beachgoers, and causing general mayhem. It's hilariously over-the-top, and the upgrades get increasingly absurd. Sure, it gets old after a while, and the controls are kinda wonky, but if you want dumb, mindless fun, chomping people and boats as a shark is a pretty good time.
I don't like the ocean, but who doesn't want to be an Apex predator. Maneater reminds me of those old computer games where you eat smaller fish to get bigger and bigger but now 3D. The game is fantastic and truly makes you feel like the king of the ocean.
Pros
- Become an Apex Predator
- Fun Combat
- Collectables are fun to get / nice pop culture references
- Game doesn't overstay its welcome / nice and short game
Cons
- Ocean is scary
- DLC a little boring with same enemies just with re-skins
- Wish there was more DLC
88/100

I liked that this game was just fun and that it was not to be taken seriously. While it never gets super deep or interesting it was fun chomping on stuff for a bit. Game is pretty short but it's a fun pick up for 10 minutes and put back down kind of game. A great budget game if you can find it cheap.
