Sure, there are plenty of insurmountable challenges and enemies you’ll want to not face for the first three-quarters of the game - from landlocked collectibles to level 45 sperm whales - but the solution is simple, direct and constant: go eat everything smaller than you until you level up enough to take on the big boys. There really aren’t any mind-bending puzzles to solve beyond what to eat first. Now, this is not a particularly difficult game. Eventually you’ll be able to grip and thrash prey, stun adversaries with tail whips, unleash powerful special attacks and even belly flop across broad expanses of South Coast golf courses in search of bipedal snacks. You won’t be able to go up against every enemy or conquer every challenge from the start, which encourages players to return to previously explored areas to unlock additional secrets once they’ve grown into their teeth a bit more.

The goal of this game is to eat everything in sight and then wash that meal down with anything dumb enough to think it could hide from you the first time through. Cut from her mother’s belly at birth by famed hunter, Scaly Pete, and disfigured in her escape, our heroic Carcharhinus cuts her teeth patrolling the shoals and coasts of South Florida in search of revenge, growing from a level 1 pup barely able to take down a trout, to a level 30 Megalodon gleefully chewing through entire armadas of coast guard ships. Billed as a “SharkPG” by Tripwire Interactive, Maneater follows the exploits of a severely wronged bull shark. Maneater is a third-person shark sim and I flippin’ love it. ![]()
