  • graphics
    107 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are widely praised for their beauty and realism, with many users highlighting the stunning visuals and attention to detail. However, there are significant concerns regarding optimization, as players with mid-range and low-end devices frequently experience lag, frame drops, and loading issues, suggesting a need for more customizable graphics settings to enhance performance. Overall, while the graphics are considered exceptional, the game's performance on various devices remains a critical point of contention.

    • “Beautiful graphics, very friendly UI and very relaxing!”
    • “The graphics are stunning and the attention to detail is amazing.”
    • “This game has stunning visuals, it's really like real life!”
    • “I really want to play this game but it's just too laggy and there aren't any options to downgrade the graphics.”
    • “The best fishing game I ever played, but the only thing is the game is so laggy even though I already changed the setting to lower graphic settings.”
    • “Graphics suck even on ultra.”
  • optimization
    32 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with many players experiencing significant performance issues, including lag and stuttering, especially on midrange devices. While some users report decent performance on lower settings, others find the game unplayable due to frequent frame drops and overheating. Overall, there is a strong consensus that the game requires substantial optimization improvements to enhance the mobile experience.

    • “Great game, I have to run graphics lower as lag can get heavier, and my phone seems to run hot while playing. However, I'm sure future updates will have it better optimized for Android.”
    • “Awesome fun! The leveling system and gear upgrades keep you coming back to play. The mobile version doesn't disappoint if you are on a low-end phone; grind through starter areas, get to Emerald Lake, it is optimized well, and then on to St. Croix, also optimized. Avoid Michigan and Pike; the frames disappear near lots of reeds and bushes.”
    • “The game is stunning with nice graphics, but it needs more optimization. It lags a lot even with a 16 GB RAM phone.”
    • “Great game but needs major rework; graphics are so heavy that my mid-range Android (450k Antutu) is stuttering all the time.”
    • “One thing is still missing, and it's optimization.”
    • “Very very bad optimization and very bad FPS (frames per second). I have the Snapdragon 870, and there is no performance; it's a bad game.”
  • gameplay
    23 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the fishing game is praised for its realistic graphics and engaging mechanics, particularly for fishing enthusiasts. However, many users report significant issues with lag, loading times, and connectivity, which detract from the overall experience. While the game is lauded for its immersive environment and controls, there are calls for improvements to performance, especially on lower-end devices.

    • “The concept is great, the visuals are stunning, and the gameplay is interesting.”
    • “Gameplay is fun if you like to fish, which I love.”
    • “Brilliant! Not only the best fishing game but also the best game on the Play Store. The graphics and gameplay are awesome; hours and hours will disappear, no paywall, just fish like real life. Big thumbs up! ”
    • “Very realistic graphics and fishing mechanics, but the thing I'm frustrated about is that it always gets stuck on the loading screen every time. I don't play it often because I wait hours, but nothing works. I've tried to uninstall and reinstall it about 28 times; the Fishing Planet server is trash.”
    • “Gameplay is laggy, buttons are slow, and I don't understand at all what it's trying to tell me when the button icon shows up. When I press it, nothing happens.”
    • “One way this game needs to be improved is cross-platform gameplay.”
  • monetization
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many users expressing frustration over the abundance of microtransactions and intrusive ads, particularly after recent changes that reduced ad rewards. While some players appreciate the option to earn double rewards through ads, they find the in-app purchase prices too high and report issues with ad functionality and bugs. Overall, the monetization approach is seen as a significant drawback, impacting the overall enjoyment of the game.

    • “No ads!!!”
    • “I will be happy to give 5 stars and buy lots of the in-app purchases once the game is really optimized on Android devices.”
    • “The in-app purchases are a bit too expensive; I think you should decrease the price.”
    • “Unfortunately, now on top of the abundance of microtransactions, they are pushing mobile ads left and right.”
    • “The in-app purchases are just too expensive; I think you should decrease the price.”
    • “This game was very good until they took the ad multiples away after you leave a lake; I can't even make a lot of money anymore.”
  • story
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is centered around engaging challenges and missions that involve hunting legendary monsters, which keeps players invested. However, some users express frustration with mission tracking and the need to purchase items to progress, indicating a desire for improvements in mission activation and accessibility. Overall, while the missions are praised for their variety and engagement, there are calls for better functionality and updates.

    • “Great challenges and missions, hunt down legendary monsters.”
    • “The missions are a nice way to keep players engaged, and there's a wide variety of items to unlock.”
    • “Really a great game, factual, good missions, and just a great game.”
    • “Can't even finish one mission without buying stuff.”
    • “Why is my mission not active although I followed the instructions given by the mission?”
    • “I hope that the devs will bring out more updates to the game (maps, improvements, new missions).”
  • grinding
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and time-consuming, especially after reaching level 40, where farming becomes particularly challenging. While some appreciate the depth of the game, many express a desire for improvements such as experience boosters and a more balanced equipment system to alleviate the grind. Overall, the consensus is that while grinding is a common feature in mobile games, it can feel excessive and may push players towards in-game purchases to progress more easily.

    • “Leveling is getting rough when reaching level 40; it takes too long farming sturgeon. An experience potion or experience booster would be really helpful at this point. A barbless hook is not enough when reaching level 40.”
    • “But believe me, they don't tell you how much of a grind and how tedious it is to level up, or how hard it is to get the right balance of equipment when their level restrictions are apart from every piece. Is it free to play? Yeah, in a most tedious, boring, get-you-to-buy-something-sooner-or-later kind of way. And that's not all; you will need to spend money to get ahead. Don't believe me?”
    • “Great game, just wish it was slightly less grindy.”
  • stability
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of the game is a significant concern among users, with frequent freezes, glitches, and a maximum frame rate of 30 fps reported. Many players have experienced data loss and persistent issues despite reinstalling the app, leading to frustration and lower ratings. While some users note that the game runs well on specific devices, the overall consensus highlights a need for improvements in stability to enhance the gaming experience.

    • “Runs great on Galaxy S20 FE.”
    • “The game freezes multiple times; I already uninstalled and installed it, but the problem is not solved.”
    • “I had a bunch of money and baitcoin, but after restarting my phone, the app glitched and I lost everything I worked for. I would love to give 5 stars, but the app glitches, so I give it 2 unless you can make it right.”
    • “Glitches too much; it can be the best fishing game, but there are too many problems.”
  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is widely praised, with users finding it exceptionally funny and epic, contributing to an overall enjoyable experience.

    • “So funny, very awesome, so real and epic!”
    • “The humor in this game is top-notch and keeps me laughing throughout.”
    • “I love the witty dialogue and hilarious situations that make every playthrough enjoyable.”
  • music
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players appreciate the game's music for its relaxing qualities, enhancing their overall enjoyment. However, there is a desire for additional features, such as the ability to play custom music while fishing, to further improve the experience.

    • “I love this game! I can enjoy and relax while playing, but please add a feature to play music while fishing; it would make it even better.”
