10 Video Games Where It Sucks To Be Human
5. Maneater
Turtle Rock StudiosOf all the concepts in all the video games, playing as a whopping great shark with a host of upgrades like firing lasers from your mouth is one of the best.
Almost as though developers Tripwire Interactive watched the shark attack scenes from Jaws and game-ified them, Maneater is a “Shark RPG”, starting you out as a little pup who’s been scarred by a fisherman, only to work your way back up the food chain in revenge.
Not even beach-goers out the water are safe, as this shark can beach itself, then fire from person to person, wolfing down half the populace in the process. Swatting projectiles back at boats, leaping out the water to grab ranged enemies - once you get this game’s combat down, nothing will stand in your way.
Starring Rick & Morty’s Chris Parnell as a hilarious reality TV host trying to narrate the carnage, Maneater came out of NOWHERE and immediately garnered a cult fanbase.
