Maneater

This is what I wanted Jaws Unleashed to play and feel like, but unfortunately it was down right unplayable, how it got released unfinished baffles me. This game is freaking awesome I love playing as a mega female bull shark, getting some sweet blood filled water revenge. Truly epic game played In third person, it's everything I hoped and wanted in a shark simulator game, definitely the best In the genre.

Main game is great save for not always feeling like a super sized, powerful megalodon. The dlc tho?.... Save your money. DLC is absolute garbage. $15 garbage at that. It uses broken mechanics, tasks that have absolutely nothing to do with the game or story, and the NPC's are on you like white on rice. Avoid the DLC, but the main game is fun for a while.

Maneater, for the PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC, is an insanely fun and addictive shark-RPG game; especially for avid shark enthusiasts like myself. Though that's not to say it's pitch perfect. The combat is flawed and disorienting, and you may encounter the occasional glitch. That being said, there are a lot of wide, beautifully-rendered areas to explore, a lot of different animals and people to eat, and a lot of ways you can evolve/upgrade your shark to become a more efficient predator. So if you like open-world RPG chaos games like GTA, but wish you could be an oceanic killing machine, I'd say it's worth the thirty bucks.

This is an open world RPG where the player (tries to) control a shark and steadily climb the food chain. As you eat and grow you are able to move from swamp to lake to coast to open sea, finding increasing threats but also better ways to fight. The key is unlocking mods for parts of your body that give you special powers and make you look badass.

The main story is interesting because of the way it is told, making your enemy the main character, and you the shark actually the villain (one might disagree, but what's true is that nobody's innocent in this game). Being an open world RPG, you can also spend time exploring and doing secondary quests like hunts or boss fights, which unfortunately tend to be repetitive. The game is not too long though, and eventually you can witness the glorious ending.

On the other hand, I have to say that the controls are horrible, it's really hard to bite or float or dive the way you want to, so it can be really frustrating.

This game was always on my purchase list, however to my surprise as part of Januarys PlayStation Plus PS5 release, this game was the pick of the month. Overall, i enjoyed swimming around eating everything i came across, fish and human alike. The only downside is the lack of customization for your shark as well as the overall duration of the game. It took me around 10 hours to complete the main storyline including a lot of the side missions as well.

The sole purpose of the game is to eat everything you can, which if that is for you then this game provides that service.
