60 of 163 · most liked firstAs a purchaser of Euro Fishing from the very start I can say this with some commitment, as fishing game this is dreadful and I am sorry it became the case. I myself have been fishing for 48 years now in the UK and France and have carp to 30lb plus in the UK and to 48lb from France to my name. I caught my first fish at 7 years old and my first carp at 9. Later I was for a period of time a regional Carp Society member and we held meetings in our S. Yorkshire area. Much later I visited Redmire…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Terrible game, never really left beta, Devs took the money and instead of running they stayed about and asked for more, pumping out worthless DLC's all the while ignoring everything wrong with the game and actually making it worse with patches. Avoid anythhing to do with this developer in future, i certainly will be. On top of this they actually had the cheek to abandon this mess, crap out another game which is pretty much a copy of this with a bit of extra content that should have been in…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Being from the UK I ideally wanted a Fishing game where could fish in the UK and just chill. I've tried quite a few fishing games ie. Fishing Planet, Russian Fishing, Professional Fishing and Ultimate Fishing Simulator. Ultimate Fishing simulator is very basic and the sound is terrible. The others are just Pay to win and not great in my opinion. Professional Fishing for example will sell you a motor boat for around 80GBP. Yes you can grind for it but that would take thousands of hours.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just another game developer that went down the DLC cash grab ally.... its a shame this is becoming more and more of a trend, what happened to the days where you bought a game then all the stuff they released after was a bonus, I personally miss those days.. greed greed greed is what this game is about
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dovetail's Euro Fishing is a Free Plays Game this week on Xbox. Dovetail announces a new game on October 15th. Euro Fishing is the best fishing game ever made. news.xbox.com/en-us/2025/1...
unlabelledView post →DO NOT BUY THIS - they have released Fishing Sim World - they ripped people off by producing DLC for this when they knew it was not going to be a long term project - They will just rip off any suckers who buy the new game - I Will NEVER buy another dovetale games game and I would not advise anyone else to either
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game it self OK. However, the nessesity to buy new lakes each one cost $10.99 is horrible. I guess there are a lot rich people who can afford to buy all this new lakes which came out about 1 a month. If oyu need to strech your gaming dollar find something better. If I would have know that each new location you have to pay I would never buy this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If a Dovetail dev followes me, pls, pls give me another fishing game like Dovetail Euro Fishing 2014. No bass fishing bs or boat stuff. Only dumb fishing with some funny boss fishes.
unlabelledView post →Abandoned for another fishing game by the devs. 10/wasting money
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought this game for $8 USD in January 2017. I thought it was fun for what it is. The developers then added $77 USD in DLC almost two years after release. Worse yet, the DLC is advertised in game. I cannot recommend this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am sorry but get Ultimate Fishing Simulator instead, or ICE FISHING, or play the fishing in Far Cry 5.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is very good .. actually its an awesome quality in comparison with other DTG games .. its not the game for every1 BUT its worth every penny .. also i bought it on sale along with the season pass so it was very cheap ant it has TONS of content .. and YES they fix bugs and add new fish and stuff like baits ... and plz do not believe those negative reviews .. if you want 100% simulation - plz go to france england germany france austria spain and fish there .. if you want to have…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm still searching a game which gives me the same high as Dovetail Euro Fishing.
unlabelledView post →There s far better fishing games than this
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought this game as part of a package sale with a few others, before any of the DLC were released. I really liked it at first. It was smooth, had good graphics, and most importantly, it was fun. That was well over a year ago. I decided to download it again to play the new fishing area that have been added. Turns out they're over $10 a piece! Not only that, but for some reason the gameplay is extremely glitchy. I don't know what happened, but this game does not play the same as it did when I…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cash Grab. Period. Refunding. I won't support a greedy developer. Welcome to the blacklist of Greedy Developers, Dovetail. Maybe you and EA can get together and make a Star Wars Themed Fishing Game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dead game 0/10. No tech support and no further development.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is a lot of fun. You just have to get past the haters who can not afford to buy new content. I do not understand why people think companies owe them free content for the life of the game. Anyhow give it a try!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Stay away from this game. The more they add to it the worse it gets. They would rather bring out new paid for DLC than fix the base game which has bugs more than two years old. I'll never buy anything again from Dovetail games. They just pump out broken games, abandon the project and move on to the next cash grab.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Since the release of they game they have released one new species "Rudd". They also think it's ok to charge £62.93 for 7 new lakes (all just reskinned of other lakes) yes they might look slightly different but all the fish are they same (except The Moat they added Rudd). I am not against paying for DLC for new content if it is worth it but all the new lakes are just the same boring stuff with nothing new. When a dev replied to me discussion in september of 2016…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Says it all really, they've already ditched this game in favour of "Fishing Sim World". Terrible cash grab company.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A steaming pile of worthless nonsense from game developers who have little concern about making a proper game and even less concern about listening to the former community of players. Dovetail claims that this rancid puddle of fail was developed in conjunction with real world anglers. If that is the case how is it that something as basic as including a reels' max drag and fishing line test weight/estimated amount goes completely overlooked? Worse than that is the drag setting is completely…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game itself is not that good at all. DLCs are extremely expensive. Don't spend your time on this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →INCLUDE ALL DLC IN THE SEASON PASS! THE GAME IS A MICROTRANSACTION HELL! * Will update with real review when fixed. ** Guess what, they added the Ultimate Edition, which includes all the content a Season Pass would normally do, namely all year 1 maps. This is actually a good deal, EXCEPT you can't buy it if you already own the game and/or parts of the bundle! I would give two thumbs down if that were possible. PURCHASE GOOD REVIEW: 24,71 €/$/£* *No adjustments for currency value!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Euro Fishing banger game. Their best fishing game in my eyes.
unlabelledView post →My gambling addict friend said if I post a review on euro fishing and it gets 350 likes and 150 Awards that he will buy me a case of beer and some vodka So im just gonna leave this here.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →you cannot switch to 60 FPS, it stays locked in 30 FPS forever, annoying.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not the best fishing game..Totally unworkable. Spend your money on something better, like a new shoe polishing kit.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the very best fishing games i have ever played great graphics and sounds and very easy to play.... will add more game comment as time goes on.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Poor customer support.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is trash. Nice idea, but the developers were too stupid to create something great. There are a lot of bugs, sometimes the game doesn't want to do, what it is told to do, and is crashes way too often. Never recommend that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of game. As a passionate fishing game-gamer i know what is good and this isn't.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It starts up then the loading sign stops then it kicks me out of the game and does do it once it does it ever time
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do not buy this, even if if it is offered on sale. It is a dead title. They have moved on to other things by releasing Fishing Sim World, a title that includes predatory fish such as Pike & Perch - whilst they may have added Perch (in expensive DLCs, I might add), they could & should have added other species to this. Dovetail Games is a perfect example of the egregious cash-grab practices of a lot of games development companies in this day & age ... simply check out one of their other…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Download Fishing Planet or Russian Fishing Sim for free. Ulitmate fihing sim is good too, same price, better game. This game is cancer.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I found this game very tricky, especially the float fishing which I found almost impossible. Wrote to their support and received nothing. Switched to Ultimate Fishing which is much more enjoyable
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not worth it. Dont buy. Boring and bad. Fishing sim world looks better.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unless all you want to catch are carp this isnt the game for you.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This has got to be the worse fishing simulator you can buy it used to be really good even though it had it's fair share of bugs the fish fights were the best in any game and I played it a hell of alot. Then the Developers decided to port it to the PS4 and ruined the game for the PC the game is absolutely shocking to catch a fish all you need to do is keep your finger on the mouse button the bait roams about on the lake bed the line goes slack for no reason and the float fishing is terrible you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's turned into a DLC cash grab, Early access had better fishing controls in my opinion, such as pulling back on the mouse and pushing foreward for casting- seemed natural to me. Now it's click a button, wait for a meter to fill without going over a line, then click a button again. I might as well go fishing in world of warcraft. which was never really that bad, unless you were flagged for pvp. I know it's "Euro" fishing, but I guess I like what I'm used to fishing in America. Bait and lure…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dont bother. Im sure the game is great but I have been trying to play it for years and i am always having issues with the interface. It doesn't hold the mouse like it should so other programs from my desktop open up randomly. if it isn't doing that its just straight up minimizing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →made for fishemen, by fishermen.. not in good way
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's not the worst fishing sim I've ever played, but it leaves a lot to be desired. For one, the Menus on my monitor (2560x1080) don't display in the correct resolution, so I have to play in 1920x1080 windowed mode to select buttons at the bottom of the screen. There's no boat fishing, shore only. The tackle store leaves a lot to be desired in equipment selection. The casting controls aren't bed and the graphics are decent though. I recommend catching this one on sale if you're looking to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolute cack . Was hoping for all the bugs to be fixed (there are loads) but the devs are only interested in your money by releasing dlc even though the game is broken. Do not buy this or there new game (fishing sim pro} both games are dire and you would be feeding sharks !
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Whoever wanna buy this, they abandoned this game with it's buggy mechanic, no more support, they said, and with high number of dlcs that you can see yourself, i said dont get this game and take a shot the sequel instead (if that still satisfy you) named fishing sim world
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →gameplay is good but when it comes to DLC you buy a season pass that does not give you every DLC for the game and has the nerve then to ask for £8.99 per DLC after buying a season pass what i paid £21 for on top of the game price
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm sorry but believe the other down vote reviews, I didn't and just had to try it on sale. Nope not even worth 8 bucks. and the DLC is simple greed. Lakes are just reskins with the same exact fish LOL nothing new but eye candy. Hey I gave it a shot its just not fun or anywhere close to realistic. If your into arcade fishing by all means buy it you will enjoy it, If you looking for a simulation look elsewhere because you won't find it here. Maybe if they fixed the core game instead of pumping…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The base of this game is great and its overall a pretty good game. Until you look at the DLC model... 4 maps included with season pass. Continues to release over 4 other maps for way more then anyone should pay... Not to mention the fact that some of the 'improvements' haven't actually done anything other then make some of the mechanics worse? Float fishing? Goodluck catching anything with that, striking is impossible with the float? I don't understand it, watched plenty tutorials and cant get…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I used to stream this often. after the update with new place to fish in the bay I cant even log on and play unless I buy the new stuff.... not cool
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Following the motto of all hunting/fishing games. We're all F%@king you, so what choice do you have?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game had potential, but unfortunately it ended up like most fishing games do, left unfinished. There is no way this isnt gonna end up delisted soon, so if you get it, get it for that reason only, because it really isnt worth playing it at this point. __________________ [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45534557/]Follow my Curator for more!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is a joke
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →nice little game. definitely worth the 20E asked price. but more arcade than simulator. huge carps are fun to catch still. rewards no kill. AFAIK you always release the fish. personnally if i find the 20E main game price totally justified, i find the maps a bit expensive. i think 6/7E would have been better. if you are looking for a real simulator go for UFS, if you want to catch nice carps easily, have fun, and just relax near a beautiful pond this is what DTEF will give you small edit after…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolute trash..... Would refund again.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game WAS great but seems to have been abandoned by the developers, would avoid if I were you.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's Fun game with friends.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →BEST GAME EVER! after 45 minutes of gameplay, i caught a figh! ... and got drunk in the process...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's fishing! If you like fishing this might be fun for you. That being said... I got this free as a bonus for buying FSX Steam Edition. I've also played Fishing Sim World by the same developer. I'd have to recommend going with Fishing Sim World if you are going to spend your actual money. Why? Let me tell you. 1) The gameplay in the European setting in Fishing Sim World seems to work exactly the same, except the controls for fighting the fish feel more responsive in that one. 2) It adds…
