  • music
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players praising its eerie horror theme that enhances immersion, while others criticize its limited variety, consisting of only two looping tracks that can become overwhelming. The soundtrack is described as both terrifying and unmutable, contributing to the game's horror atmosphere, but also leading some players to opt for a silent experience. Overall, the music is seen as a significant aspect of the game's tone, though its execution leaves much to be desired.

    • “Honestly, the graphics and music in this game are tier 1.”
    • “A better title for this game would probably be: zombie fishing to a horror soundtrack.”
    • “As the tone of the game continues across the 3 worlds, the soundtrack of the game really adds to the feel. Just as you're getting eased into the game and it's becoming less scary, it just hits you right back to where you started with how it repeats itself, sometimes getting louder and louder, reminding us all of how sometimes our struggles in life are fated to repeat themselves.”
    • “The only thing this game has as far as soundtrack is the same eerie horror theme.”
    • “Also, there are only two tracks... the menu music and the gaming music both looped over and over. 2/10”
    • “The soundtrack, which is unmutable and cannot be turned down, makes the game so much more horrific in many ways.”
  • gameplay
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Peak gameplay.”
    • “Not to mention the realistic fishing mechanics.”

    • “While the gameplay itself may feel a bit repetitive at times, the overall experience is thrilling and satisfying.”
    • “Gameplay = basic, endless, and in a short time span, boring.”
    • “A barely functional game with zombies, with glitchy graphics and gameplay, that lacks in the horror department, struggles with the fishing aspect, and is way off from being a decent simulator.”
  • graphics
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics are highly praised for their immersive realism, effectively creating an underwater atmosphere that enhances the horror experience.

    • “The graphics were so incredibly realistic that I found myself frequently clutching my controller in fear.”
    • “Honestly, the graphics and music in this game are top-tier.”
    • “If you really want to play a poorly made fishing game that has the aesthetic of a low budget Friday the 13th parody, go ahead.”
    • “A barely functional game with zombies, with glitchy graphics and gameplay, that lacks on the 'horror' department, struggles with the 'fish' part and is way off from a decent 'simulator'.”
    • “Visuals = generically bright, glossy and well textured.”
  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's storyline is described as captivating and immersive, featuring unexpected twists that engage players. However, some users feel that the lack of achievements or missions detracts from the overall experience, while others note that the game offers a surprisingly deep narrative beyond its initial premise of fishing in a horror setting.

    • “The storyline was captivating, with twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat.”
    • “Surprisingly, Horror Fish Simulator tells a very deep and immersive story.”
    • “Where there is no story, you play as a zombie fisherman in one of the three lakes/locations (which, by the way, are poorly edited templates) in an endless quest to catch fish, eat them, and survive.”
    • “What I have just explained is actually 2% of the story the game has to offer.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's humor is characterized by its quirky ragdoll physics and amusing fish mechanics, providing a brief but entertaining experience for players, particularly in the first ten minutes.

    • “With ragdoll-like physics and fish that spin like Beyblades, this is quite a funny game for 10 minutes or so.”
  • emotional
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express a strong emotional connection to the game, feeling empathy for the zombies and their plight, which adds depth to the overall experience.

    • “This resonated with me deeply and made me feel sorry for zombies around the world.”
  • stability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is criticized due to buggy physics that can lead to unintended and chaotic gameplay experiences, such as catching fish on land or being launched into the air. This instability detracts from the overall enjoyment of exploring the fishing spots and completing tasks.

    • “The buggy physics have you catching fish on land, or just hooking yourself and going flying into the sky like a horrible Easter savior.”
    • “The game frequently crashes, making it nearly impossible to enjoy the experience.”
    • “I encountered numerous glitches that disrupted gameplay, including characters getting stuck in the environment.”
  • replayability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players feel that the game could benefit from additional features, such as achievements, to enhance its replayability. However, many still find it offers good value for the time spent compared to other games.

    • “I wish it had achievements just to add a little more replayability to it, but overall, I've spent way more on far worse games.”
    • “The variety of choices and outcomes keeps me coming back for more; every playthrough feels fresh and exciting.”
    • “With multiple paths and endings, this game offers endless replayability, making each session a unique experience.”
    • “I wish it had achievements just to add a little more replayability to it, but overall, I've spent way more for far, far worse.”
    • “The game feels like a one-and-done experience; there's not much incentive to play through it again.”
    • “After completing the main story, I found little reason to revisit the game, as the side content felt repetitive and uninspired.”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players note that the grinding aspect of the game is reminiscent of souls-like titles, blending challenging gameplay with a more accessible approach for a broader audience. The dark tone and immersive soundtrack enhance the experience, making the grind feel engaging rather than tedious.
