The story surrounding this game highlights significant dissatisfaction with its support and content updates, particularly for the Steam version, which users feel has been neglected compared to the more frequently updated Quest version. Many reviewers express frustration over the lack of new content and improvements, leading to a perception that the game is essentially abandoned on PC. Despite some enjoyment of the gameplay, the overwhelming sentiment is to recommend sticking with the Quest version due to its superior support and updates.
- “If you don't have a Quest - grab it here, even with the flaws mentioned above it is still the best VR fishing experience available.”
- “I have been playing this since I owned a Quest 1, a few years ago now and I would happily buy this on any platform.”
- “The graphics are great on PC and it's a genuine upgrade from the Quest 3.”
- “Don't buy this; it's not supported anymore. All they care about is the Quest version. It wasn't long ago they were promoting the launch on Steam, which I can imagine many paid for and can no longer refund. Just stick to the Quest version.”
- “Yeah, no, this game is abandoned (compared to the Meta Quest version that is regularly updated and fixed) and the art is AI slop.”
- “Edit: zero updates since launch, but the Quest version has several?”
