gameplay8 positive mentions
optimization4 negative mentions
  • The game features realistic and satisfying fishing mechanics with meaningful progression from basic gear to advanced equipment, making the catches rewarding and diverse.
  • Expansive and detailed open-world environments with dynamic weather and lighting create immersive, peaceful, and visually appealing fishing locations.
  • Strong multiplayer component allowing players to fish together in real-time, socialize, compete in tournaments, and explore together, adding long-term engagement and community sense.
  • The game currently suffers from performance issues and poor optimization, even on high-end hardware, affecting smooth gameplay and visual fidelity.
  • Controls, camera, and interface feel clunky and outdated with a steep learning curve; the lack of tutorials and guidance makes it difficult for newcomers to learn the mechanics.
  • Some gameplay elements, such as fish fight dynamics, bite rates, and UI features, are unpolished or imbalanced, leading to frustration and reduced realism for players seeking a true fishing simulation.

  • gameplay

    31 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    26% positive mentions, 61% neutral mentions, 13% negative mentions

    The gameplay offers a realistic and immersive fishing experience that balances accessibility with authentic mechanics, including character progression and dynamic environments. While many praise its smooth, rewarding, and engaging fishing mechanics, some users find the game feels slow, unpolished, or lacking depth in early access, though ongoing updates and developer responsiveness show promise for improvement. Overall, it delivers a comprehensive and enjoyable angling experience, especially for those who appreciate methodical, gradual progression.

    • “Designed as a significant evolution of its predecessor, the game aims to recreate the full experience of recreational and competitive fishing through a combination of realistic mechanics, character progression, expansive environments, and online interaction.”
    • “The environments are more than decorative backdrops; understanding their characteristics and identifying productive fishing spots becomes an important part of the gameplay experience.”
    • “The mechanics from setting up the rods, to setting the hook, to reeling in the fish are all based and act like real life fishing.”
    • “I understand this game is a work in progress but it needs a lot of work before I pay anything over £5. It's not me being cheap, it's me telling the truth as the state of the game, the limited gear, and poor gameplay doesn't make it worth it.”
    • “The game mechanics are poorly implemented with many unnatural effects related to the float, which just look and feel awful!”
    • “It feels like they are just adding stuff for the sake of it, when the gameplay loop needs addressing and making more fun.”

  • optimization

    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    25% positive mentions, 42% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    The game's optimization is currently poor, with many users experiencing subpar performance and low FPS even on high-end systems, alongside a cumbersome interface and some rough edges. However, players acknowledge that as an Early Access title, improvements in optimization and quality-of-life features are expected over time, and the game shows strong foundational potential. Performance enhancements are essential before full release for a smoother experience.

    • “The sense of advancement feels rewarding because every upgrade directly impacts performance and opens new possibilities.”
    • “I would like to see optimization and quality of life improvements because it is not very optimized. The interface should be changed, it is cumbersome and ugly. But it is in early access, so with time much more can be added. I initially left a negative review but changed my opinion to positive after playing the game again. The game is getting better.”
    • “Another thing is optimization. On a 147k + 4070ti setup, I would expect more than 60 FPS in motion in a game where the map is the size of a field and the main focus is the water surface.”
    • “Finally, quite poor performance and visual FPS wise: running the game on an i9 14900k and an RTX 5080 GPU with 64 GB of DDR5 RAM on high settings struggles to hit 80 FPS. This 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.”
    • “The game is poorly optimized.”
    • “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.”

  • graphics

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    70% positive mentions, 20% neutral mentions, 10% negative mentions

    The game's graphics are widely praised for their stunning water effects, realistic lighting, and immersive ambiance, with detailed fish models and environments contributing to a strong atmosphere. While character models receive some criticism, overall visuals are considered outstanding and enhance the gameplay experience.

    • “The graphics are stunning—the water effects and the lighting make the whole experience super immersive.”
    • “The graphics are amazing, I love how everything looks, and I love the ambiance I feel while playing the game.”
    • “Graphically it's outstanding.”
    • “If the game will improve I will buy it for sure, but in 2025 you can't make a fishing game with pumped-up graphics and arcade system like mobile games.”

  • story

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    38% positive mentions, 24% neutral mentions, 38% negative mentions

    The story offers engaging and varied missions with increasing rewards and penalties, encouraging strategic choices in fishing objectives. However, lengthy wait times for catching fish can make some quests feel tedious and limit player freedom in selecting tasks. Overall, the narrative provides a fun framework but pacing and mission structure could be improved.

    • “You can accept random missions without knowing what they are until you receive them, adding an element of surprise.”
    • “If you fail to complete a mission, there are punishments, making the stakes higher and the gameplay more engaging.”
    • “The more rewarding the mission, the greater the punishment if you fail, balancing risk and reward effectively.”
    • “The game looks good, but the time you have to wait for catching a fish is way too long. I had a quest where I needed to catch 40 fish in 5 hours, and after 29 minutes I got only 4 fish.”
    • “There are missions that reward you far more for catching a total of 10kg of fish than those for 100kg.”
    • “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, and not that I have to catch 30 fish in 5 hours.”

  • atmosphere

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    75% positive mentions, 25% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's atmosphere is praised for its detailed vegetation, realistic water, dynamic weather, and changing lighting, creating an immersive and convincing outdoor fishing experience that balances excitement and tranquility. The visuals, including fish models and environments, effectively enhance this authentic feeling of being out on the water.

    • “Detailed vegetation, realistic water surfaces, dynamic weather effects, and changing lighting conditions all contribute to a convincing outdoor atmosphere.”
    • “It captures both the excitement of landing a difficult catch and the peaceful atmosphere of spending time by the water.”
    • “It creates a completely different atmosphere, almost like you’re both really out there fishing together.”

  • grinding

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Users find the game to be overly grindy, particularly noting that the spin fishing mechanic is initially less rewarding compared to float fishing, which contributes to the tedious grinding experience.

    • “The game is just too grindy for me.”
    • “Maybe it's the grindy-ness 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.”

  • humor

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's humor is largely derived from its hilariously buggy and unfinished nature, which, despite technical flaws, contributes significantly to its unique and endearing charm.

    • “The game being hilariously buggy, unfinished, and not optimized only adds to its incredible charm.”

  • stability

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game's stability is notably poor, with frequent bugs and unfinished features, but these issues oddly contribute to its unique charm rather than detract from the experience.
