Maneater

The idea of playing as a shark is not an entirely new one, but it probably has never been executed as well as this, with the movement being very satisfying, and there is an initial thrill to swerving through the water in pursuit of your prey or leaping onto land to chomp on some terrified humans. But the novelty wears off faster than you'd expect as the game settles into a rote pattern of the same mission types over and over upon entering each new area with precious little in the way of variety. For a game that's pretty short, it's damn disappointing how quickly it overstays its welcome. I'll give a shout out to the darkly satirical reality show parodies that make up the story of the game though as they're consistently fun at least.
