positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →More Freddi Fish adventures. Story is rather simple - we must help Luther's uncle to find stolen hogfish. The culprit is different every time so there is some replayability. However thief is revealed in the very end so you have to play the whole game and it is kinda long in comparison with previous games. There are 2 slightly different paths and most walkthroughs don't cover the second one (the one where you have to use pepper to get harmonica); bubblegum is useless in this one. Interactivity…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's like the other Freddi Fish games, which makes it nice, although this one is much harder than the previous ones, i really had to roam around multiple times before i got it. Also the story and other characters in it, i didn't like much as per appearances and behaviour. But i did like that story was different in objective (This time you had to infiltrate). And after all the game consumed and entertained me for 1,5-2hours. :D
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When the police are inefficient, child vigilantes are the best solution to your criminal problems! Another good Freddi Fish game, follows the usual mold and fills its theme nicely.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When I played it years ago it was flawless. It is great now but in the ending sequence when Freddi and Luther were revealing who Mr. Big was, when Freddi was talking: Luther was talking in Freddi's voice. And Freddi was still talking and her mouth wasn't moving. The game was great minus that part.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →✰ This game was a core memory of my childhood. I would return to play it over and over, exploring new outcomes and alternate endings. Seeing all the Humongous Entertainment games on Steam makes me feel a lot of nostalgia. But what makes it truly special is finally sharing the games I loved with my son. I can’t wait to watch him laugh at the same silly moments and light up when he solves all the puzzles, Once he’s old enough ofcourse. Some games don’t just age well, they become timeless, and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For whatever reason I have the most vivid memories of this one out of all of these. I don't know why considering that this is the weakest since the first from a gameplay standpoint; the randomization is really stripped back to a few minor minor things; there's only one puzzle that changes out of everything in the game, even. Though from a writing/flavor/humor standpoint this is probably the best so far, I still chuckled at some of the jokes here. That might be why I recall it the most of the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is by far the DARKEST and most TRAGIC story I have ever witnessed in any media, ever. Betrayal, intrigue, ex-cons with checkered pasts, this game has a deep, rich, and complicated story that sets it aside from all other mystery games. Every character has ulterior motives, and you never know who is going to betray you next. The way the game manages to capture the essence of pure existential horror, helplessness, and dark gritty intrigue is nothing short of masterful. I have cried several…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finished it in one play through. It brought back so much nostalgia from my childhood! Love this game series. ♡
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I remember playing this game as a child, its just as lovely as I remember I love how almost everything reacts when you click on it this is the perfect kid's game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →THIS. This is the game I LOVED as a child. I almost remember the whole game, but I'm so glad I could experience it once again.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, the story is shrouded in mystery and the payoff is immensely worth it at the end. 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was the first game in the series that I got to play as a kid. It was one that we had gotten as a disk, and was a game we played in our old Dell desktop that ran, if I remember correctly, Windows XP. I never actually got to finish the game though. I got about as far as getting to the Cow Hustler's hideout before I couldn't figure out how to get past it. However, even with that roadblock, this was a game that I absolutely stayed up late at night for (and sometimes even woke up in the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Such nostalgic fun! The gameplay was just as easy I remember, no glitches, and was so much fun! I will admit there was a moment that I couldn't figure out and it was only because I was over thinking it. My niece and I enjoyed it so much and I am happy I got to create memories with her through this. On to more!!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great mystery game for kids. I used to love these games and now my kids love them.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Of the Humongous entertainment games aimed at children, the Freddi Fish ones stand out. Replay-ability is increased by some randomised elements which shake-up each play-through. Characters bursting out into song all the time is endearing. Mini-games can be fun. Like all the Humongous games, these are best played with a kiddo.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This one might be my second favorite of the Freddi Fish games. While they're nowhere near as good as Pajama Sam or Spy Fox, the Freddi Fish games will always still hold a special place of nostalgia for me.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hog rustlers killed my cousin and burnt the ranch down. Game ends with a shoot out that easily ties with Halo Reach. Good game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Damn i must be retarded if it took me 3 and a half hours to pass this, while everyone else only took one hour. Nostalgia Trip, and easily one of the best games i've played still. Also the Soda Bar is where most of my time went, i always wanted to see how many times i can get a soda that tasted different.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pleayed this soooooo much when I was a kid, I had it on disk and could not find this one......so it went on sale bought it, played it for an hour and it broght back soooooooo many memories :D this is a MUST HAVE for any kid and for anyone that had this when they were young:D
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Recommended to any person of any age. A spectacular game. Absolutely phenomenal. No other game has made me feel this way about my life. A life changing experience that will never be forgotten. My personal rating is 10/10 and I hope to play every other game of this series. Thank you Humongous Entertainment for such a brilliant work of art.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A wonderful point-and-clicker from my childhood! This art style, music, animation, plot, voice acting - it's all great! Especially for a game from the '90s! I'd like to highlight the music, it's a very pleasant country tunes!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Freddi Fish universe is truly swimming with organized crime.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i'm a grown adult and this game had me wandering aimlessly for 15 minutes at one point
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dropping a positive review for this one because this is the one I had as a kid. If you know what to do right off the bat you can beat this in about an hour. I'm in love with the vibe of this game, it's very comfy, the soundtrack just hits. As a kid I put a lot of hours into this game clicking on things and just enjoying the art and scenery
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Freddi Fish 4: The Case of the Hogfish Rustlers of Briny Gulch is an ancient family friendly 1999/DOS era point and click adventure game running on Steam thanks to the ScummVM engine. Gameplay involves Maniac Mansion/Monkey Island style point and click adventuring combined with a few minigames and "activities" intended to keep young children occupied. This game is over 20 years old, it's ancient. 4:3, fixed resolution (looks like VGA). Weirdly, the devs have patched it from time to time, but…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The series really nosedives at this entry. The story isnt very engaging, the characters are even less memorable with an even more nonsensical plot.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Freddi Fish 4: The Case of the Hogfish Rustlers of Briny Gulch is a delightful point-and-click adventure that continues the long-running educational series with a memorable underwater take on the Wild West. Developed by Humongous Entertainment and published by Humongous Entertainment and Night Dive Studios, the game follows Freddi Fish and her dependable friend Luther as they travel to Briny Gulch after Cousin Calico's prized hogfish mysteriously disappear. The story immediately establishes a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Freddi Fish was one of my first ever video games I played as a kid, and I am thrilled that they are now all available on Steam. I'm sharing them with my much younger sister, and she loves them too.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Western Ocean! Freddi Fish and Luther are a great dynamic duo that benefit the story greatly. Animations, Artstyle, Gameplay all are very well done while having a detective style story which is myterious at first and requires a little brain work to solve that keeps it interesting and engaging. More puzzles that were fun to solve, more items to collect, more things to interact with and more fantastic cutscenes. It's an outstanding game that improves on Freddi 1 - 3 . Soundtrack being…

Every day when i got home from my job at Wendys (which i HATE) i would hop on freddi fish 4: the case of the Hogfish Rustlers of Briny Gulch and my worries would drain away. Thank you so much for this masterpiece.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tags: Casual - Youth Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Cartoony DOS collection of activities aimed at you with a somewhat fantasy underwater theme. Pixelated and possibly not enough clues on what to click at times. Freddi Fish is voice acted and features plenty of animations around the game to interact with. The interactivity does not feature puzzles but there is a logical sequence to follow for progress and there is sometimes no inherent feedback on whats…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is my choice for the 2018 Game Of The Year, this story driven masterpiece by Humongous Entertainment has the two bubbly and fun protanganists, Freddi Fish and his green pal Luther. As the game opens, Freddi and Luther are on their way to Calico Ranch to meet Freddi's cousin, Calico Catfish, who agreed to teach them to raise hogfish. When they arrive, Cousin Calico tells them that her prized hogfish herd had been rustled (which in Calico's way means "someone came in and took them without…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My daughter loves this game. She's been playing it off and on for a year now. Multiple ending and gobs of things to interact with add to the replayability of the Freddi Fish games. It has helped my daughter learn to use a mouse so that's a bonus. I have had problems getting the resolution set correctly on our laptop but there is a workaround available for that issue. Recommended for kids. PS: Freddi is a girl.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well, I can safely say that that was the worst Freddi Fish game I've played yet. I know, it's a bold claim with Freddi Fish 1 and 2 being so bland and terribly-made but I legitimately think this is the worst of the bunch. Freddi Fish 4 starts you up on the traditional Freddi Fish plotline- you're going to some event, when it's been postponed due to a problem that's been incited by someone (either singular or plural) having done something that's "just plain wrong" in the eyes of our titular…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played games like this with my children, and now I'm playing them again but with my grandchildren. Complex enough to be challenging for the very young, simple enough for a parent to get it. Great fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →fun game for my five yr old grandson
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Neat little quest
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Freddi Fish 4: The Case of the Hogfish Rustlers of Briny Gulch is an interesting add to the series. It's pretty entertaining, but there's a point in the game you need to reset for since one of the main items is RNG locked. That's realistically my only complaint.
