Maneater is a strange game and a bit janky in parts but there is fun to be had.
The simplest explanation is it's a vaguely open world rpg where you play as a shark you eat people fish turtles and other sharks as you eat more you grow from a baby shark to teen then adult then elder and possibly one more stage. As you get bigger you get more powerful and can attack bigger prey move faster jump higher and break various level specific gates to get at new areas.
The next 2 releases are pretty well fleshed out - a quick-after-1.0 release has a few secondary mission goals and some cosmetics. The one after that has 2 mission types, which is most welcome!
A great game one we often play on sunday night gaming not without it's flaws but you can't beat free as a price point
I built this Lego Tantive IV kit earlier this month. It's one I've been debating getting for a while as I really like this kit with a nice replica of princess leia's ship from new hope both inside and outside with a little room in the middle a cockpit and a little escape pod complete with little r2 and 3po. Figured with the lock down now was the time to get this.
Great fun to build although I had one missing part a triangular bit on one of the sides hopefully lego can replace that at some point.
Got round to editing up some of the video I took when I was out at PAX East in Boston earlier this year. Look at all those people shoulder to shoulder none of that these days.
This was going to be a bit of an amble about how various games have marked key points in my life...a bit of nostalgia brought about by playing the Final Fantasy VII Remake (a mere 21 years after playing the original), however as part of the research for that I came across something really quite fascinating.
This feels like a very different game now. Probably much, much better.
I expect we're all finding present times to be weird and unsettling. Generally I have as little to do with the outside as I can in normal times but it's different choosing not to go out to being required to stay inside. The fact that if I run out of something or forget something or just feel like going and getting some product there and then while I could go out for things it feels like an irresponsible and dangerous thing to do so like every one I'm just staying inside limiting my trips to shops as much as I can.
The Pro deal is one of those "sign up now, cancel later" deals...so long as you have a GMail/Google Account (and who doesn't?). The Pro version gives you free access to ~8 games.
We tried the beta of this with Fish, me and Rob and mucked about in this odd physicsy sandbox game but Rob had a bunch of issues with the controls not working so he could only use one arm which made it basically unplayable and he rage quit.
