If you’ve always wanted to live out your JAWS: The Video Game fantasy, you’re going to enjoy what’s in store this week.
Maneater drops this week, both on consoles and PC (via the Epic Game Store). It’s been a while since I checked out Maneater, but its brand of underwater GTA had lots of fun moments.

It just sounds like a winner: you play a shark, looking for revenge on a bounty hunter who killed your shark mother and taking out your anger on humans along the way. Unsurprisingly, flying through the air and snatching an unsuspecting tourist’s arm is pretty entertaining.”]
There’s also the remasters of Saints Row 3 and Wonderful 101 to look forward to. It’s a banging week for indies, too. There’s Skid Cities for those who want city builders with a touch of cyberpunk, Umurangi Generation looks super neat, and Moonfall looks like a gorgeous tactical roguelike.

Great mix of games this week. Maneater and Saints Row 3 are obviously gonna be fun to check out, but I’m super intrigued by Umurangi Generation and Moonfall as well.
