unlabelledView post →Fishing: Barents Sea has a lot of potential, and in many ways, it delivers a relaxing and enjoyable fishing experience nice ship designs, beautiful scenery, and a decent variety of fishing methods, especially with the DLCs. On the surface, it should be a great maritime sim. But unfortunately, this game is held back by serious flaws that can't be ignored. Despite releasing back in 2018, it's still riddled with bugs and not just small ones. We're talking about game-breaking issues that can…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yes, but don't buy it I know the title is confusing but hear me out, The game is old and it shows, but it is playable and quite addictive, however the devs have a newer one available and another co-op version recently released. I suggest if you plan to buy it, do so only if you want to show support for the devs. Otherwise just buy the newer ones. I will add, impossible movements of ships, poorly program, when empty some ships just flip about and when full don't turn at all. Progression is…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Last update was in 2022, multiple bugs that have never been addressed yet when you report them the only reply I've ever gotten was, you should try North Atlantic.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →im not sure why the mixed reviews because the game is pretty good, a little janky here and there but overall a fun experience. im not sure i would be in for this one at 25 bucks in 2025 but for the 2 or 3 dollars i spent on it on sale its a steal and cant go wrong. if you are reading this and its 10 or less go ahead and grab it.

unlabelledView post →Really nice, exactly what I was hoping for. Just a nice chilled out fishing game. -- edit after ~30 hrs: I'll keep the "recommended" status on this review. The game has flaws, that's for sure. First of all - not possible to pass time on boat. I mean, come on, some of the boats even have beds! But that's a minor inconvenience at most, since you can fast travel. Overall I think the game has a good progression, you start as a lonely fisher on an old boat, keep making money, buying bigger boats…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game repeat it self and too hard to progress in / make money and gets boring quick
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →(Updated on 13 June 2024) It's a fairly good game, but there are a few things you really need to know before buying it. - Net fishing is the easiest, specially if you have a crew that is half decent. Unfortunately for some reason the first 3 boats can't accept crews for some odd reason so line fishing might be the hardest (which might chase away players). Crab fishing is a completely different beast that I haven't even bothered to touch yet. - You can upgrade your boat, but you might want to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game has no challenge whatsoever. The fish just swim right up to you, and all you have to do is press a button to pull them in. After a while, you'll realize that there's nothing new to see or do. I urge everyone to not waste their money on this game. It has no value whatsoever.

unlabelledView post →Bloodborne dlc and game is still incredible, even if parts of it still make me want to rip my hair out (looking at you, Fishing Hamlet well)
unlabelledView post →Well, I'm 4 hours in and so far I'm really enjoying it. I'm finding the immersion to be pretty high and I'm liking the long line hauling method. I can't say much more as I'm only just in, but I will amend and expand on my review later. I also own North Atlantic and the newer 'Ships at Sea'. So, it's fair to say I'm a fan.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I swear i used to play this and had crab potting ships yet i just signed on and crab ships is now a $13 DLC am i losing my mind
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's a good commercial fishing simulator with a fitting minigame for all the different types of fishing methods, but it gets very monotonous practically 5 hours in. it fits really well as a tech demo for a game, i'd say get it while its on a big sale
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A game for players who just wanna chill and not play something intense, although the game is good it gets boring at times when you repeat the same things, fish, sell fish, sell and so on. But its fun to grind for new boats
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gets boring quickly I baited 2 lines then skipped time but it didnt tell me when my first line was ready.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is more on the "chill" side of games, as opposed to the most adrenaline/dopamine inducing, and thereby addictive ones. And for that, it is a great complementer. The key to this game is patience and timing. Most of the mini-games in it are very easy, but require concentration and paying attention. Even a good training for those with an ADD brain:) At the same time it can be quite challenging, especially when you try positioning your ship to the pick-up locations in windy weather (high waves).…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This isn’t a game — it’s a damn built-in crypto miner. One of the most powerful GPUs in the world nearly melts trying to run it. Graphics optimization? Nonexistent. As for the controls — the game feels slow-witted and clunky, like it’s constantly a few steps behind your actions. Everything’s vague, laggy, and oddly detached from what you expect to happen. I don’t even remember how much I paid for it, but both the money and the time spent feel like a total waste. And that’s the saddest part —…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a very good fishing game that I've played, but there are also some drawbacks and bugs, for example the weather and the sea. well, the sea almost never big waves, maybe sometimes, but then they are a bit bigger (not too much) and as for the weather. When it rains it is very bright and not cloudy and a very strange thing happened to me, so I was shot into the air 3 times, okay maybe I am complaining about a game that was released in 2018 But these are often annoying details. I recommend…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tons of bugs for example you get stuck to the port and if you try to leave your boat is goner.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The first fishing game of the franchise, got a large amount of time spent here, yet seeing i only found this game after their release of north atlantic, i spent less time then i otherwise would have, an unique region of the world, a very big niche in the simulation genre (fishing), the only real competition is deadliest catch:the game, but as the name suggests those focus on crabs, while this game focus's on a wider variety of fish. the graphics and physics do feel dated compared to their newer…
