There isn’t a whole lot of depth to Maneater. The 15-20 hour completion time is just about right to keep Maneater from feeling too long given its simplicity.

And the game developers seemed to recognize this as both a pro and a con by keeping the game necessarily short. While none of it is necessarily laugh out loud funny, all of it is definitely fun!Ĭruising around as the shark and advancing through the regions is simple fun. Chris Parnell lends his voice to the game as the narrator of the framing reality TV show, and he adds color to the locations as well as to a lot of your quest-completing actions. Finding each of them is an absolute delight.

They’re chock full of jokes and pop culture references. The locations, in particular, are among the best things in the game.

I didn’t find them to be tedious at all, as some in-game collectibles can definitely be. Doing so pops trophies/acheivements as well as unlocks upgrades to your shark.

You might as well eat whatever swims across your nose, of course, but you won’t have to spend hours and hours feasting to have all the resources you need.Ī significant portion of the game is spent using your sonar to locate various landmarks, caches, and license plates and rounding them all up. The fats, proteins, and minerals you need to collect in order to level up your shark’s “equipment” are provided well enough through caches scattered about the environment that you don’t really need to do much grinding in the form of munching down your fellow sea creatures. The underwater scenery is super fun to explore! The game definitely leans towards a more cartoony look and feel, and it does a solid job of delivering on that front. The eight different regions differ visually significantly from one another both above and below the waterline. The Truth Quest DLC will launch on August 31 and will set you back $15.While the aesthetics of Maneater are’t anywhere near pushing current-gen hardware to their limits, it can’t be said that the game isn’t pretty. Maneater is available now on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, and PS5.

The original stories of animals growing bone like armor, emitting flesh-eating toxins, or using electricity as a weapon were simply just old fisherman's tales. Starring your evolved bull shark protagonist and Chris Parnell (Saturday Night Live, Rick and Morty, Archer), reprising his role as investigative journalist Trip Westhaven, Maneater: Truth Quest will take players down the rabbit hole of dark secrets and conspiracies surrounding Port Clovis and the Naval Wildlife Organization (NWO). Here’s some more details about Maneater: Truth Quest… Hopefully the DLC doesn’t suffer from the same technical issues the base game did at launch.
