There is a real sense that you have been thrown in at the “deep end” so to speak but it is a great way for the player to experience what this world is all about, danger and knowing when to risk taking on a tough enemy and when to focus on growing and evolving. Starting off a Pup you are rightly very vulnerable in the waters and the world does not go easy with you as the starting location will not only feature fish you can manage to eat and battle but also threats in the form of higher level alligators who will target you, even teaming up with other alligators to do so. Starting off as a Pup, there are five stages of growth for the shark all achieved by levelling up and earning XP from completing objectives in the area regions that make up the world of MANEATER. The main game will have you playing as the baby of the Momma Shark with the very traditional focus of wanting to get revenge on Scaley Pete but in order to do this, we have some growing up to do. The tutorial ends once you have completed all the objections and sees you immediately caught by Scaley Pete who being the complete tool he is, guts you to reveal that you were actually a momma shark and had a baby shark inside you which Scaley Pete, which we have already decided is a complete tool, takes his knife and scars you so he will “recognise” the baby shark again….and promptly throws it into the sea, but not before the baby shark bites off Pete’s right hand, retribution has begun! #Maneater shadow set how toI found this tutorial completely helpful as it really manages to train you in what to expect for the rest of the game in just 20 minutes and I appreciated how it did not rush you either, teaching you about objectives and how to feed and fight without forcing you to get on with things as you just get used to the gameplay. The tutorial stage will have you playing as this very shark to begin with, as you get to grips with the swimming mechanic as well as the whole “eat anything that moves” and some combat techniques like dodging and tail whip. He is a 3 rd generation Shark Hunter and fishermen as his father and his grandfather were as well and the intro is broken up when reports of a large shark with what appears to be the broken tip of his fathers harpoon in its side gets Scaley Pete all excited and he breaks the interview to set off after the shark. The introduction reveals that MANEATER is actually the name of a TV show that is following a famous Shark Hunter in Scaley Pete who quite frankly would wipe out all Sharks from the world’s waters if he were allowed too. I have to start off by saying that MANEATER is perhaps the biggest surprise of 2020 so far for me as at first it sounded like a terrible “Be a Shark simulator” game but in no time at all this game completely won me over with both its story and the gameplay itself.
