    The game is decent for an RPG lacking in content. However, when my shark reached maximum level, I had serious trouble with framerate and the game would even crash about once per hour. Also, an end boss that seems impossible to beat.

    Game is somewhere between 5 and 6 but I need to start from scratch regardless of progress on ps4 so -1 for that

    I rated this game a 4/10 due to the data corruption that happens a lot in this game. Unless you are saving your progression to a cloud or USB after levelling up, you will be prone to data corruption. I played this game on my PS5 and had no issues until today. Shark level 30, 10 infamy, elder shark and after completing a mission I got the data corruption screen.

I was maybe 4-5 hrs from completing this game at 100% and would have easily given this game a 8-9/10 but I am not going to waste another 30+ hrs to get back to where I was. Really disappointing for an other-wise fun game. Save your time and money and play something more worth your time. Lates!… Expand

    I have never seen a camera this bad since resident evil and tomb raider on the PS1. It's wonky, jumps a lot and since a lot of what you do as a shark, is fight. Is frankly terrible.

    I don't think the game was quality tested or played before they released this mess. It's fun attacking people. That's it, that's the 1 point it has going for it.. nothing else.

    This game makes duke nukem's latest outing look like Shakespeare.

    if you are going to play it be made aware you will lose resources for no reason and sometimes your level will decline even though you haven't died just fast travelled. It doesn't quite save right either.

    It's just full of bugs, feels half finished and is terrible    … Expand

    For a short time, it's pretty fun and it also looks very good.
    But it gets repetitive vefy quickly and what's worst: the game crashed and destroyed my save file with 15 hours progress. Not gonna start from scratch. It's not worth it.

    "Maneater" is a true evil genre in the game industry. But it's just like most B movies, bloody scenes and repetitive shots will inevitably make people bored.

    As it is, Maneater is still a fairly fun game if roleplaying as an aquatic killing machine is your thing, FPS dips and all… I just wish that my brain would stop playing that damn Nelly Furtado song of the same name over and over every time I settle in for a quick sharky session, especially as the OTHER “Maneater” song by Hall & Oates is a much better fit contextually.

    The new features are welcome, and the game definitely looks nicer, but apart from that, it’s the same experience. If you had your fill of the title on the PS4, there’s not a whole lot to come back for. However, if you’re just diving into the game now, this is the version you want.
