Maneater Standard Edition - PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4

When I think of a Shark game, the kind where you roam around and pick off humans and fisherman, I think JAWS. A simple and refined concept of man versus Shark and that's about it. What "Maneater" has accomplished goes far above my expectations of what a Shark game could be. The ability to level up and customize your Shark through mutations and take on various level hunters and side quests to further develop your blood thirsty revenge on the ones who hunt and kill your family and friends is amazing. I will give this game 5/5 stars because its concept, bang for your buck, and game play has me playing this for hours/days. That being said, buyer beware, their may be a few times where the game glitches and crashes on you. This has not caused me any significant dread as the progress is always saved. The frame rate may lag at times as the SHARK is covering a lot of ground at a fast rate. One cannot help but to think that with the PS5 coming out along with its processing power and frame/pixel enhancements, that this games sometimes troublesome glitches would be solved....But in either case, I absolutely love this game and its well worth the ride!

So I saw this game a week or two before release date and thought it looked cool so I pre-ordered it. I got the physical version from Bestbuy for PS4 day of release. It went through the typical updates and then it was game on. Now I've never been a shark before, but let me tell you...being a shark is pretty freaking sweet. You start out learning the controls and stuff by eating and attacking various swimming creatures. But then the first real mission starts and you get to go after some humans! It was awesome! Pure carnage: Blood blood blood! Gnashing! Thrashing! Entrails! Screaming! Blood blood blood! I truly felt like a fearsome predator and my adrenaline was pumping. I'm only a few hours into it now and there's lots more stuff but I don't want to spoil it for you. But seriously, eating creatures is freaking cool. Enjoy.

Funny writing, great gameplay and worth your time. I platinumed this twice for both ps5/ps4 because the process is so fun. Being a shark is done really well and the grind from small to large is fun

My game of the year... Well it's up there with FF7 Remake. I needed something different after the long hours I spent with other RPGs. This was perfect. Yes, it can be repetitive at times, but repetitive FUN is good, and the game is not that long, so when you get to the end you're not at that point where you're bored and tired of mechanics. Eating crocs and even whales is crazy. It's short and easy to play. One of those games you can zone out and just enjoy without having to worry to much about controls or convoluted stories. I hope they make a sequel!

I bought this with the intent to use the ps5 upgrade. It was really easy to do and the game itself is what I wanted. A shark jumping onto beach’s chomping down on randoms. But it’s mindless and I’d say close to one of the most repetitive games I’ve played. The only difference was the shark gets bigger the missions and objectives never change.
