Though you\u2019d just be a pup vulnerable to barracuda and shark hunters, you\u2019re going to have to binge on everything in sight to gain body mass and grow, in order to swim to the top of the food chain and wreak bloody havoc. And if you think you may feel guilty from all that hunting, fret not. Because the residents of Port Clovis are painted in an unpleasant light with the piles of garbage in the ocean and the nuclear power plants in the background. So you are essentially lending Mother Nature a hand and doing the ecosystem a huge favour.\u00a0Eat. Eat. Eat. Repeat.See those humans hanging out on the beach? Or that boat you\u2019re swimming right below? Or even the seals, grouper, and hammerhead sharks around you? Eat them all. Yes, that\u2019s what the game\u2019s all about. And that\u2019s how you\u2019ll be progressing from one mission to another. Each area will also have its own apex predator the likes of a(n) alligator, barracuda or orca issuing you a challenge. It\u2019s essentially a battle of the fittest. Other water activities that may interest you include obtaining collectibles like nutrient caches to bulk up, landmarks to discover, or even collecting license plates. Sure it might sound repetitive but wait till you start going after petrified beach goers or spring a surprise on that unsuspecting person soaking up the Sun on his inflatable unicorn. And if that\u2019s not enough to keep you entertained, you have Chris Parnell (Jerry Smith from Rick and Morty; Dr. Leo Spaceman from 30 Rock) to talk you through every area in the game, including the clown from It in an underground tunnel, a crashed UFO, as well as the wreck of a Titanic recreation cruise.\u00a0Hunt or be huntedMuch like the Wanted Level system in Grand Theft Auto, every person and boat you attack increases your level of Infamy. Which will turn the tide and draw the attention of more and more hunters. And then you\u2019ll find divers, lasers, and even explosives right on your tail. That\u2019s definitely enough to keep you on your toes (or fins!). Sure you could dive into the depths to evade them, but with big risks come big rewards. Take them on and you\u2019ll get a new Evolution like a Bio-Electric tail, or even a Bone Jaw, making you a bigger threat in the water. Each new Evolution you obtain from the nutrients of different prey can also be upgraded, making your sonar more effective, or even enabling you to survive longer on land. So if you\u2019re in need of some excitement, all you have to do is keep eating your way through the game.Blood is thicker than waterThe plot revolves around you baying for Scaly Pete\u2019s blood, the redneck hunter who killed your mother and scarred you. And the final fight with him is not a walk in the park.As much as you\u2019d question the science behind the game, it serves as a perfect distraction from the world around us. One might even find it oddly therapeutic. The waters are your playground. There\u2019s mischief to be made in the resorts, water parks, and even marinas, especially when you start filling them with blood, or tossing someone right into the air with a flick of your tail.4\/5 STARS"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"International","item":"https:\/\/thehomeground.asia\/international\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Maneater: Something To Get Your Teeth Into","item":"https:\/\/thehomeground.asia\/international\/maneater-something-to-get-your-teeth-into\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
