    Game is locked at 30 FPS with no way to change it. It looks and feels terrible, and is hard to overlook. It's not a matter of it NEEDING more than 30 FPS for performance, it directly affects the fluidity of motion and movement in game and is immediately noticeable. Just forewarning.

    + Has incredible force feedback, can feel the fish on your rod the entire time + Beautiful graphics, can relax on your boat and just enjoy the view + Tons of equipment to choose from + awesome career mode, lake challenges, and boss fish. Will keep you busy for a long while - character models could use some work but whatever, the fish i think could look a bit better, and they could use some more variation in their patterns and colors, some fish do not look the size they weigh, light fish…

    Fishing Sim World®: Pro Tour is a methodical and feature-rich fishing simulator developed and published by Dovetail Games that aims to capture the structure, discipline, and long-term progression of professional angling. Rather than presenting fishing as a purely relaxing pastime or a quick arcade diversion, the game frames it as a competitive career built on skill development, equipment mastery, and strategic decision-making. From the very beginning, it establishes a clear sense of purpose:…

    I am not gonna lie, I am not sure why everyone is so concerned with the frame rates my is still hitting 60 fps and the game is really fun and when it say's sim it really is, sometimes though the reeling in can get a bit wonky when on a boat but it's nothing that is game breaking. The content is definitely their and if you love fishing this game is definitely for you. Give it a try and for once don't listen to the negative comments.

    12.7 hours of playtime and i can say i am really enjoying this game. here is why - career mode. you can choose 3 tournaments to take part it, bass carp and predator. if you only like carp you can select just carp or just bass, in my case i selected bass and carp. I like that you can choose your difficulty for you casual people or higher difficulties to challenge yourself. Its a good feeling when you are about to lose the tournament and you change your hook size smaller and bait to get a few…

    The best fishing game I've played since 'Gone Fishin'', which was released in 1994, which I played on '98 SE. No ridiculous 'lure cam'. No obnoxious HUD. Just a lake and your chosen style of fishing. Sometimes it's tranquil, sometimes it's manic; just like fishing.

    I've owned this game for several years on PlayStation. I finally broke down and also got it through Steam since I got a gaming laptop. It is one of the best fishing games I've played, and I have tried many! Pros: Lots of DLCs which means many venues to fish around the world. It also has a huge variety of fish. Lots of lures and baits to choose from. I recommend that the first DLC you get is the one with the Bass Pro lures because it also gives you 50 lb line so you have strong line to catch…

    The game is capped at 30 fps. You can't even be serious for a second. There is no way that somebody with a brain still has this game capped at 30 fps in 2025 when 5090's are out. Incredibly stupid, I can't even believe the dev's know how to eat by themselves.

    This game looks fantastic and the way it plays feels fairly realistic but over the years of playing it there seems to be less and less fish when Bass fishing, I've add 3 new lakes and a lure pack and can't catch fish, I just spent 1hr on 2 lakes, I caught 2 fish, On the sonar the fish go past, I try 20 different lures slow and fast wind in and nothing makes any difference, Then there's no fish in the area, I boat to another location with trees and lily pads and still hardly any fish, This is so…

    I purchased the game and all the DLCs during the Summer Sale. I've already put in 94 hours in the game! The game I find is a lot of fun if you pay attention to the data provided in the HUD.... Depth of the lure...your lure presentation...each lure requires a different presentation...working the rod tip....depth of the water and so on. The game is also a great time with friends. Easy multiplayer private session setup. If you are on the fence about purchase....stress no further...add to cart and…

    I have a few fishing games in my library and Fishing Sim World Pro Tour is basically an upgrade to the gameplay of Bassmaster Fishing 2022. The gameplay is very similar to any other Dovetail Fishing game, so you get what you expect with this title. I found it challenging to compete in tournament events.

    Game works well except for the trolling motor but overall a very well developed game. I think there are plenty of good things but most focus on the tournaments within the Career mode where the fish are hard to find, for example Grand Union and Bergsee predator tournaments. I like the bass fishing as it is very close to real life even though it can be easy early on, but that is also what makes the game fun. The ability early on to level up and learn quickly is a strong suit for this game. Other…

I think this game fits with game pad most among the fishing games. 2. Appropriate graphic It doesn’t mean graphic is bad. Also it doesn’t require high performance PC. But it shows beautiful plants, water and fishes’s appearance. 3. A lot of fishes, fishing gears.. and a bit of customizing There’re…

    So If you ever wanted a competitive fishing game with a career mode, this is the fishing game for you. You can fish Bass, Carp and/or Predator, while getting sponsorships from actual fishing brands, and go against real fishing pros. Very easy to learn and get into. I haven't noticed the 30 frames, and I only had one glitch where the fish got stuck under the dock, but it let me catch it after a minute and half of idling. The character model isn't anything to write home about, but the fishing…
