Yesterday they unveiled the next batches of Game Pass additions and two are returnees, with the delightful fighty platformer Indivisible accompanying brutal shark 'em up Maneater. What's more important is that it's adding the game with the cutest little Nurglings, grimdark retro-styled FPS Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun. The rhetoric of 'purging xenos and heretics' surely doesn't apply to these darling babies. Read on for all the games coming to (and going from) Game Pass over the next few weeks.

Maneater reviewMay 22, 2020 - Rock, Paper, Shotgun Maneater review An ecstatically violent simulation of being a fool’s idea of a shark, which long outstays its welcome when stretched into a repetitive open world game. * Developer: Tripwire Interactive ;* Publisher: Tripwire Interactive ;* Release: Out now ;* On: Windows; * From: Steam, Epic ;* Price: £35 / $40 / €40; When I saw the footage of aquatic murder sim Maneater from E3 last year, I had two responses. The first was that it looked really thrilling to play. The second was that it had the potential to be obscenely stupid. I wrote all about this in my preview, and tbh it’s worth a read before you carry on, so I don’t need to repeat myself too much. But was I right about Maneater? Yeah, I was. The core simulation here is a perfect encapsulation of how it feels to be a fool’s idea of a shark. It’s acrobatic, intuitive, and drivingly vicious, like Ecco The Dolphin after a long spell in prison. But what could have been great in a game that was nasty, brutish and short has been stretched into an open world plodder weighed down with lacklustre mission design, endless repetition, and a confused, blundering disaster of a message. Maneater has moments of brilliance, but they’re islands in a lagoon of bollocks-infested water, and it gets increasingly tiring to swim between them.

Comment with your reasons why, and next week it may be struck off. Listen, never mind that sharks are not the mindlessly violent animals we’ve been trained to fear, and simply additional victims of mankind’s global vertebrate binge. Dismiss, please, the ongoing cultural rehabilitation of this toothy swimmer, who is statistically quite poor at killing humans. Ignore also their adorable habit of falling asleep when you hold them upside-down. Forget it, forget it all. No more lovey-dovey thoughts for these wondrous aquatic beings, more maligned than malignant. This is a list about videogame sharks. And videogame sharks are the baddies. Here are the 9 deadliest sharks in PC games.
