I'm conflicted. I'm trying not to insist on finishing games I'm not having fun with anymore. There's far too many interesting games to play out there to waste my time with games that bore me, even if I initially had fun.

But... I'm still kind of having fun with Maneater? But also... kind of bored? And I'm not sure which way the pendulum swings more.

Well...the climax of this game was extremely anticlimactic, but I also don't know what exactly I was expecting lmao Still a lot of fun, and now onto collectible cleanup and DLC before I can finally 100% it and put this one to rest once and for all.

It's crazy to me. Here, you have a game about being the mother-effing terror of the ocean, and somehow it's still the same awful open-world game we've played a million times before. How the heck has this genre become so pervasive? It's soooo boring. Like, do your dishes kind of boring. How the heck are these companies able to make …

It's crazy to me. Here, you have a game about being the mother-effing terror of the ocean, and somehow it's still the same awful open-world game we've played a million times before. How the heck has this genre become so pervasive? It's soooo boring. Like, do your dishes kind of boring. How the heck are these companies able to make us constantly spend $60 on a system that is so lazily designed? Go to a marker, do some stupid unsatisfying errand, and then repeat. Or maybe you'll have enough points to start doing the exact same stuff you were already doing in a new location. Wow! You can even buy upgrades to make the errands feel even less rewarding. Wow!

The game looks nice. The theme brings joy to the 13-year-old me trapped within my memories, but the game's boring. I hope this genre dies.

Lots of fun. Not without its issues but I really enjoyed this! Started Truth Quest and ready to (ahem) dive back in.

I did it! this game was silly fun and Chris Parnell was great for the narrator. about half way through I had to really push myself to keep playing as it gave me the samey mission vibes that the original assassin's Creed gave off. all in all a decent romp of shark mayhem

An enjoyable game, very repetitive but it kept me in waters until I got my platinum trophy so it wasn't that bad of a game.

Final thoughts: I'm obliged to like this game because I'm a shark furry with mountains of shark plushies lel.

This game is mechanically very shallow with a simple but wonky combat system and a little variety in the actual quests you must do (which is mostly kill X items or find X hidden items). Despite that, the game still has a lot of charm with a unique premise, a simple but actually engaging story, and an overly hilarious narrator voicing the game like a parody documentary show.

Overall the game is rather short, but it felt like an incredibly satisfying game to me. I hope the idea gets expanded on in the future.

Only about 4 hours in but it's all win for me so far. The game isn't an impeccable AAA classic but then for $40 you shouldn't expect one. Can't wait to play more.

I liked a lot about this: the mechanics, the style, the customization. But I was a little put off by nearly every mission being exactly the same. Just some variation of "Eat X amounts of Y." I think this needed more variety to really click. Could have stood to be goofier too. I kept waiting for it to.... jump the …

I liked a lot about this: the mechanics, the style, the customization. But I was a little put off by nearly every mission being exactly the same. Just some variation of "Eat X amounts of Y." I think this needed more variety to really click. Could have stood to be goofier too. I kept waiting for it to.... jump the shark... but it never really does. Would love to see a sequel that takes the Saints Row approach with this IP.
