    Oh look, just like their previous game they abandon this one not fully finished to do another game. Avoid these devs like the plague, they will only half make a gam then try and get you to buy their next game that they will half finish. There are 6 post on this games news trying to sell the next game while there hasn't been an update in over a year. Edit: Interesting that comments are turned off yet developers can still try and spin their practices by forcing a comment on a review with a lot…

    OK just like the previous title from theses guys, love the games if they work but they do not. They move onto their next game leaving it unplayable or unfinished. Bought the latest dlc from this one and cannot use the new boat because of crane bug and the boat drives terrible once it's 1/4 full, grinded the whole game from scratch to get it and cant finish one run. Afraid Ships At Sea will be the same. a great concept but never completed or fixed. And the tips is still not working as well as…

    The developers are Norwegian but I don't think they've ever been in a boat. A real boat does not handle like a delivery van with worn tires on an ice road. This model makes zero sense. Also... Fenders INSIDE. Come on??? Need's it's own button to put them inside. Can't try and climb the ranks as a fisher and drive a boat with the fenders outside. Literally unplayable. One final thing. No time acceleration. Even the newest MSFS has it. Traveling from one place to another is tediously slow. It…

    Here are the notes I posted with my refund request: The basics of an excellent game are here which makes it frustrating and confusing as to why the game is not polished (i.e. finished). It has crashes, the controls are clunky and as mentioned it generally needs polish. Fix the crashes, revamp the controls (I use controller) and generally polish the game including improving the game play loop and there is a great game here. Based on discussions on the forum it sounds like the game is abandoned…

    I wanted to like this game, but it doesn't respect the player. I've watched videos, I've read guides, I've applied them in the game. I buy tips, find a huge habitat of fish with seagulls flying overhead. The sonar is disgustingly littered with fish, I put around and map out how large the habitat is, find the borders, and I know from the tip which direction the habitat is moving. I have long lines, baited with the best bait for the fish on the sonar. I drop them, my crew is skilled, and they're…

    Re-tried this on 2025; tl;dr, get it on sale or get it if you really really have nothing else to play or love this niche, even the hunter and fishing games have more engagement than this game. Honestly lots of potential simulating all the fishing modes as well as getting to travel on board ships but the devs are small in size and have already moved on to "Ships at Sea" their newer game So most of the jank and bugs are not going to be fixed. Biggest peeve I have for this is the speed of…

    This game reeks of poor craftmanship.... The devs spit out a not even half finished game and then abandons it in favour of a new one... while it is still ridden with bugs and plays more like a proof of concept demo rather than an actual game. The basic functionality of the game is so simple it's laughable... I have seen better UI and menues on one dev mobile slop games... Certain boats will do a backflip if you fast travel... and this game without fast travel is not an option... The coastal…

    It’s not bad, I’m only so far in to it but it’s a good time consumer and it makes me quite relaxed while playing it. The water physics against the boats could be better half the time it looks like the boat is just gliding across the top of the ocean in turn affecting the immersion imo. There needs to be rougher seas as well it’s always so calm even when it poring down with rain just a few minor waves. Overall:- it’s a good relaxing fishing game just needs some QOL improvements I.e water…

    The best fishing game I've ever played. The game is very well developed, especially the ships. The graphics are beautiful and the physics are very good, the nights in this game also look cozy when you are in the ship in the first camera. I see only advantages in this game, but it would also be nice to have a few more ships. The weather is good and often changes quickly, but I also miss storms in this game. I recommend this game to anyone who loves fishing and isn't afraid of their computer…

    -- First impression review -- After recently finishing the previous game (Fishing: Barents Sea) I jumped directly to this one. First impression is great, looks like a lot is improved: passing time directory on the boat, the amount of fishing tools, fast travel but most important thing - performance is much better than in the previous one. I get no graphical stutters. I think the sea looked a bit nicer in the first game though, but I might still have to experiment with the settings. Putting sea…

    Half an hour.....I'm not a gaming novice. Half an hour of trying to throw a lobster pot over the side of the tutorial boat. Googled it, it's bugged. Can't skip the tutorial. If this game had been free I'd still have felt ripped off. I'm sure this is a game that has potential but I'm sick to death of games being released as 'still in development' with the added idiocy of trying to take customers along for the journey. I don't want to journey with you. I want a playable computer game from day…

    I've been wanting this game since its release, but have been reluctant to purchase at full price due to the negative reviews. So, now on sale at 90% off, I picked up the game and a couple of DLCs. Here are my thoughts so far: Pros: Fantastic game in theory. I love the detail involved in the many things you have to do, step by step. Large open world map to fish in! Graphics and model details are 7/10 at best, imo. Cons: My biggest complaint by far- three crashes just trying to complete the…

    Open world fishing game. Is this sim game good? I have been pondering this. It is. It involves fish and is considered a fishing game. However it is unlike any fishing game on the market. It is like a metal detecting game, with management mechanics, instead of a rod and reel traditional fishing. As you offload and sell your hauls, you end up making millions, buying boats, upgrading them and the crew you hire, finding dynamic locations of fish populations that move across the map and progressing…

    Update Jan 26th: The bad: Late game there is still an empty hole to fill other than trying to keep ahead of the debt after buying the most expensive crab boat (it is also the most expensive ship in the game). The hole feels even worse when you cant even use all of your crab pots before its time to pick up the one that gets ready at 18h40m.

    In the first ten minutes of playing this game, my boat got stuck turning in circles and wouldn't respond to my inputs despite them being detected in the tutorial dialogue. Then I got to a dock and was upside-down, clipping under the ocean floor, unable to do anything. Eventually my boat got destroyed in the glitch, costing me $8,000 and re-spawning me. Refunding.
