Whether it’s some goofy cutscene or Parnell narrating some insane nonsense, it’s in those moments where the game transcends its lousy action and becomes something fun and original. It’s the story of a shark out to avenge its mother’s murder at the hands of a reality show cretin and his son, narrated by the inimitable Chris Parnell. Occasionally the game forces your shark to flop around on dry land eating people, but that only serves to make Maneater’s combat shortcomings even more evident, since that’s when it goes from being merely repetitive to repetitive with awkward controls.Īnd again, it’s really unfortunate that the game falls apart the way it does, because when you look beyond the core gameplay, you can tell the developers really, really loved coming up with everything in Maneater. It’s…kind of underwhelming, and it gets very repetitively very, very quickly. Obviously, given that we’re talking about a real underwater creature, it’s not like the developers could have given your killer shark some insane, out-of-this-world powers - though at the same time, given the inventiveness on display elsewhere in the game, it’s kind of unfortunate that they didn’t.Īfter all, all your shark can really do is bite, hit enemies with its tail, and sometimes combine the two together so that you bite then hit with your tail. Pretty much every single mission consists of swimming to an area, eating a certain number of a specific type of fish (and sometimes humans), and then waiting for the area bosses to show up. The thing is, the gameplay is just so boring.
MANEATER SWITCH PC
I wish I could praise it as much as my colleague Stan did for the PC release last year. I genuinely want to like this game a lot more than I do. And now that it’s arrived on the Switch? You guessed it: I still love everything about the game, save for the actual gameplay. When it came to PS+ back in January: still loved the premise, still found the game boring. That was the case when I got it on Xbox back when it first came out: I loved the concept, found the game boring. I’ve always liked the idea of Maneater a lot more than the actual game.

Basically said, players will get the opportunity to breathe underwater, living the life of a shark and conflict sea life that will hold a grudge against them. Nintendo Switch users will get to experience the baby shark, named Scaly Pete, which will evolve as they progress throughout the game. This transition of the action-RPG to the Nintendo Switch surely builds to a higher profile. In Maneater, players have the opportunity to play as the apex predator of the seas, the scary and devastating shark. Maneater is completely optimized for the PS5 and takes the swim (battle) to a whole new level. Maneater is the world’s first ShARkPG (Shark RPG), making its way on Nintendo’s handheld device, Switch. Tripwire Interactive’s Maneater is coming on the Nintendo Switch on May 25.
