Touted as an open world “Sharkpg” Maneater sees you control a shark in the ocean and steadily level and evolve it into an apex predator. This game has an interesting character and setting, unfortunately that is mostly all it has going for it. The player controls a shark, and this particular shark happens to be the star of a nature documentary. The games central premise and story focuses around this faux nature documentary and the voiceover bits are often quite funny. Add this to the unique method of locomotion and unique setting of the whole game taking place underwater and you have all the elements one would want to make a winning open world RPG but the problem is that the character and setting wear off and eventually one is left with the same game one has played 1075 times in the form of every other open world RPG ever, but with a shark as the main character.
