The story aspect of the game is engaging, featuring a mix of fun and challenging missions that reward players for their fishing skills, with varying levels of difficulty and consequences for failure. Players appreciate the randomness of missions, though some express frustration with the lengthy wait times for catching fish, which can hinder progress in time-sensitive quests. Overall, the narrative encourages exploration and strategy in choosing which fish to pursue.
- “You can also accept a random mission and you don't know what's in it until you get them.”
- “The more rewarding the mission, the more it will also punish you if you fail it.”
- “What I mean by that is that the quests will be revealed and I will be able to freely choose what I want to catch and what to focus on.”
- “The game looks good, but the time you have to wait for catching a fish is too long. I had a quest where I needed to catch 40 fish in 5 hours, and after 29 minutes, I only caught 4 fish.”
- “You can also accept a random mission, and you don't know what's in it until you get it.”
- “What I mean by that is that the quests will be revealed, and I will be able to freely choose what I want to catch and what to focus on, rather than being forced to catch 30 fish in 5 hours.”

The game's optimization has been widely criticized, with players reporting poor performance even on high-end hardware, struggling to maintain 60-80 fps. Many users suggest that significant improvements are necessary before the game can be fully recommended, indicating that it may be best to wait for future updates to address these issues.
- “Performance improvements are essential.”
- “Another thing is optimization; on a 147k + 4070ti, I would expect in a game like this, where the map is the size of a field and the main point is the water surface, more than 60 fps in motion.”
- “I like the game enough to recommend it, but there are still some performance issues that need to be fixed before full release.”
- “Finally, quite poor performance/visual fps wise. Running a game like this on an i9 14900k and an RTX 5080 GPU with 64 GB of DDR5 RAM on high settings struggles to hit 80 fps. That shouldn't be the case, especially compared to a free-to-play game like Fishing Planet, which runs at a steady 240 fps on ultra settings.”
- “- Optimization: the game is poorly optimized.”
- “Another thing is optimization. On a 147k + 4070ti setup, I would expect more than 60 fps in motion in a game like this, where the map is the size of a field and the main focus is the water surface.”

Players find the game excessively grindy, with some noting that certain activities, like spin fishing, feel less rewarding compared to others, such as float fishing, especially in the early stages.
- “The game is just too grindy for me.”
- “Maybe it's the grindiness of it, or maybe it's the fact that spin fishing is actually worse (at first at least) than float fishing, as other people have mentioned.”
