#MANEATER PS5 SIMULATOR#

It’s an effective parody of Flat Earther-type nonsense, though, to be honest, the past year has made it a lot harder to laugh at conspiracy theories and the morons who propagate them. Here, Parnell’s documentary narrator has abandoned any semblance of scientific objectivity, instead spewing an endless stream of conspiracy theory BS about alien lizard people and the like. The conceit of Maneater has always been that you’re watching an over-the-top, Shark Week-style documentary, narrated by Chris Parnell of Saturday Night Live fame. This new side-story brings your giant killer shark to a new island, where a mysterious new “Uber” Apex Predator lies in wait.

In fact, you require a completed save file in order to unlock it, so it’s clearly intended as a post-game bonus for those of us hungry for more. The “Truth Quest” picks up right after the conclusion of the main game. There’s aliens in them waters, and Maneater is feeling a bit peckish. The new “Truth Quest” DLC takes the absurdities of the core game and amps everything up to 11. When you go toe-to-toe, er, fin-to-fin with another shark, it’s supposed to be ridiculous. At the same time, Maneater is keenly aware of its own fiction, of the weight of post-Jaws history that bears upon it. Maneater never apologizes for what it is: it’s a shark game, you eat people, it’s awesome. Last year’s Maneater was one of my favourite games in recent memory. The latest Maneater update, available now for $19.99, is a delightful addition for players to sink their teeth into.
