These same activities are repeated in every new region you visit, and that's mostly what you do in Maneater: Swim around looking for collectibles to check off your list while eating 10/10 various creatures when told to.

The rest of Maneater is all collectible-style activities: Find every hidden landmark, every sunken crate of drugs (helpful for mutations), every giant spinning license plate (because in Jaws, a shark ate a license plate, see). A few bosses near the end have armored boats, depth charges, and better weapons, but working your way through the dozens of standard hunters to spawn the boss is more of a chore than defeating the actual human bosses themselves, and spamming attacks works as well on boats as it does on sea creatures. Once a human boss is in the world you can eat them just as quickly as you would any other person. Most bosses, like Curtis, are just standard humans with a big gun, which I actually kind of appreciate.
And shark hunter bosses only arrive when you've driven up your threat level by killing loads of generic hunters. Human shark hunters show up when you begin terrorizing other humans, which gives you a GTA-like wanted level. Humans scream, animals struggle, blood fills the water and coats beaches and boats Then I just floated there and slowly chewed him to death. I defeated Moby Dick by ramming him into the sea floor, where he got stuck. The orca boss wouldn't pursue me when I went to eat fish to regain my health, meaning it was easy to whittle him down to bloody chunks. But combat and enemy AI in Maneater is pretty sloppy, and I eventually abandoned careful evasion and timed strikes when I discovered that just spamming my attacks worked far better. There are quests to kill single large predators, too, like a gator, barracuda, or a fellow shark, and more difficult battles against apex predators like an orca in a Sea World-like arena and an ancient sperm whale based on Moby Dick. But doing it again and again (and again), the gruesome novelty wears off quickly and it becomes a mindless exercise. Thrashing your shark's head by wiggling the mouse back and forth while holding your prey quickly reduces them to a cloud of chum. Humans scream, animals struggle, blood fills the water and coats beaches and boats. Eating 10 of something-humans, turtles, fish, seals, other sharks-is initially fun. There's a lot of appeal in growing from a little fish to a hulking leviathan, but there's just not enough variation in the things you do along the way.
