Currently playing Maneater. It's a perfect game after a long day of work, you can turn of your brain and just swim, hunt, eat, evolve, exterminate humans, explore, eat some more, kill all the predators you were previously fleeing from, evolve some more, swim, jump, exterminate humans, kill boss, eat. Very satysfying gameplay but I don't expect it to last. Fortunately the campaign is like 10 hours long, so it won't overstay its welcome.

Visuals are solid (both under and above water), ofscreen commentary is ridiculous and often hilarious, gameplay remains fast paced and there are options for several builds providing much needed variety. The cliched revenge plot is surprisingly fitting for the this ShaRkPG.

The only criticism I have is the poor optimization - on my pretty strong desktop which can handle CP2077 without problems sometimes cutscenes of Maneater freeze for half a second and the game is pretty unstable when turning on, which results in frequent ctds (which surprisingly don't happen anymore if you manage to get past the load game screen).

Hard to tell really, didn't make any experimentation on this issue. Sometimes it takes three tries to successfully launch Maneater and load the game state, but after that it becomes stable.
