![]() As the shark creates more havoc, the world will react by dispatching human bounty hunters to hunt it down. Defeating these predators will earn the player special skills. The apex predators are a great barracuda, a shortfin mako, an American alligator, a great hammerhead, a great white, an orca, and an albino sperm whale. While each region will have other predators that will attack the player, such as muskellunge, barracuda, alligators, sperm whales, orcas, and even other sharks, they will also have their own apex predator, which is larger, and differing in appearance than their normal species. Players can discover hidden landmarks and complete side objectives. Playing as the shark, players can freely explore the open world of Port Clovis, which consists of eight regions: Caviar Keys, Crawfish Bay, Dead Horse Lake, Fawtick Bayou, Golden Shores, Prosperity Sands, Sapphire Bay, and the Gulf. The shark will slowly evolve into an adult "mega" shark, and players can acquire advanced upgrades and customization options such as external bone plates, shadow armor, and electromagnetic spikes to further enhance the shark's combat abilities. As the player gains enough nutrients, the shark must enter underwater grottos to unlock new abilities and increase in size, which allows the shark to take on larger and deadlier creatures. Players can also attack humans by wreaking havoc along the coast, destroying yachts and ships, and knocking people off jet skis. The shark needs to hunt and consume other aquatic wildlife such as fish and turtles in order to obtain nutrients, namely proteins, fats, minerals and rare mutagenics. It can also use its surroundings for combat advantages, such as using a swordfish as a spear. The shark has several basic attacks, including charging into enemies, siloing out of the water and whipping enemies with its tail to stun them. In the game, the player assumes control of a baby bull shark who must take revenge on a shark hunter named Scaly Pete, who killed its mother and disfigured it. The game is an action role-playing game played from a third-person perspective. Set after the main story, Truth Quest follows the shark as it travels to a mysterious experiment site and confronts a radioactive monster causing chaos around Port Clovis. A downloadable content pack for the game, Truth Quest, was released in August 2021. Maneater was released for Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in May 2020, for Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 in November, and for Nintendo Switch in May 2021. In the game, the player assumes control of a female bull shark who must evolve and survive in an open world so she can take revenge on a fisherman who disfigured her as a pup and killed her mother. "Maneater isn't a perfect shark simulator, but it is a fun and funny one whose positive adaptations outpace its drawbacks.Maneater is an action role-playing game developed and published by Tripwire Interactive. ![]() "With the sharply written, hilariously delivered narration and story beats to freshen up the experience as you go along, Maneater becomes a goofy, fish-flopping romp, with a good balance of limbs to sever, boats to wreck, and challenging creatures to render into bite-sized chunks," reviewer Phil Hornshaw said. GameSpot's Maneater review scored the game a 7/10. Maneater launched for Nintendo Switch in May, but the Truth Quest DLC has not been announced for Nintendo's hybrid platform. It is not a standalone expansion, so it requires the base game. There are new objectives, too, including "Failure to Communicate" (tail-whip objects to destroy a target) and "Time Trial" (swim through rings in the allotted time). Helicopters will now come after you, while the military forces hunting you down now have more weapons and vehicles. What's more, the game's bounty hunter system-which calls in the government to take you down-sees some updates with the Truth Quest DLC. The level cap is increased to 40, while there are new enemy creatures to take on. In Truth Quest, you'll swim through a new location-an island off the coast of Port Clovis, and you can make your shark even deadlier with more evolutions to grow into. Westhaven believes he has uncovered new secrets and conspiracies about a killer shark created by the government. As announced previously, Truth Quest features additional narrative elements that continue the storyline of journalist/narrator Trip Westhaven, who is performed by Chris Parnell of SNL, 30 Rock, Archer, and Rick & Morty fame.
