positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rather sh!tty experience.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played briefly with another person. Opening ports to get servers visible is a pain and shouldn't be necessary anymore. Very little to interact with once in the game. When you're fishing it puts you in a different screen so you can't see anyone else around you. It feels like a single player game just with notifications of how other people are doing in their single player game. Even the animals on the screen are unsynced with other players. Everything feels cheap and unpolished from the UI to the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mobile chaff. Too generic to be interesting. You never get the feeling that any choice or condition makes much difference at all.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty realistic and very fun fishing game, good graphics and a ton of gear to use. Recommended!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →multiplayer does not work properly
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finally, I can go fishing with the boys!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's relaxing and has enough different options to play the game in a way you like. I liked to grind the achievements a bit (took 106,6 hours for 100%, partially due to an erased save file after 34 hours) while listening to some youtube commentator or something. I got it in a bundle that I still would've bought wihtout this. I definitely wouldn't spend 15 euros on this, but on a sale the price seems fair. And at least this game doesn't have a million dlc's you need to get for 100% One downside…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There is nothing like this. Development seems stopped in 2018 and there still some bugs and last update overpopulated lakes with a garbage fish, so it is harder to get what you want. Still, there is no alternative anyway, only ice fishing game out there. As Game itself it is good. You usually find fish where it suppose to be and process of catching it is pretty accurate. Just read a tutorial part. Still did not catch a single damn Smallmouth Bass. Edit: Got 6 of them. Fall morning in great…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Reeling a fish within the last minute of a tournament and rushing back to the starting point is one of the most exhilarating, heart-pounding moments ever. Click on the fish you catch and watch them flop around all day. The single player tournaments can feel a little long. Try it out and test your patience. If you're not hooking anything within a minute of jiggling around, move to another depth, location, or change bait according to the map. It really helps to read the fishing guide and helpful…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Who doesn't love a good ice fishing game, no matter how old it might be! Ice Lakes is rather simple to play and get the hang of. A rather good simulation game that helps kill cold snowy days, that you would rather not want to freeze your privates off! If your going to get the game make sure you do so when its on special as it is quite old, after all! Enjoy
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you like fishing this is the game for you. If you don't like fishing go to heel u ♥♥♥...

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game to play alone. Even better to play with friends. I blame twitch.tv/squiresoup for getting me into this game last year. :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I spend 10 minutes waiting to catch a fish and its weight is 100g.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hi Time for another review today we are looking at the game called (Ice Lakes) fishing game. I own about 95% of every fishing game with DLC packs ever released if not all of them i have played many of them and each game has it's own characteristics in the way it is developed and it's own Mechanics. Ice Lakes is different than many fishing games but in saying that it does not mean it's a bad game in fact it is a very good game and the only one of it's kind because you fish for fish on ice lakes…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An ancient classic. Technically abandonware, but only because the game is finished. The single most competent ice fishing simulator there is bar none. Doesn't attempt to do anything else, it just does what it does well. A clean UI, easy new player experience, considerable degree of replayability, built-in multiplayer and VR support... there's nothing to criticize about this game. Except maybe the wacky choice of fish... why are there freshwater fish in saltwater and saltwater fish in…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Assemble your camping chair, drill a hole, fill your kuksa with vodka and start jigging. Ahti gives as long as you respect his gifts (ruffe, bluegill and black crappie not included). Dream about going ice fishing irl, but after the -32 celsius hits your face after opening the front door, you gladly open steam and play Ice Lakes.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →fun fishing game. lots of lakes. and just awsome, would recommend
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Like Pro Pilkki but with better graphics and few other extras. Not forgetting the VR support which is really fun. If you like ice fishing, highly recommended. Better with friend than alone.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice game perfect if you don't have access to tools to go ice fishing. One thing, the brook trout have the same texture as brown trout.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If your looking for a premier VR fishing keep look because this is not it. 3rd person, basically pad controls might as well be a flat game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →1) Find some copypasta online 2) Paste the copypasta in multiple reviews 3) Wait for people to award it 4) ??? 5) Profit
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ice Lakes is one of must have as it is AWESOME GAME!!! Highly recommended. Pure AAA+++

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →* copy won from giveaway * - even thou this game is free i got , but i will be honest in review it is basically a fishing simulator without a boat and set in antartica most boring game ever i sit there for 15 min looking at hole waiting a fish getting hooked and nothing yes first 15 min of wait and nothing then another 15 min i got a fish hooked finally , then i looked at the fish , its ugly , for TOTAL 30 MIN WAIT FOR A FISH ! i smashed that fish on the floor 30 MIN FOR A FISH ! better…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not into writing reviews but wanted to give this one a thumbs up.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →氷上でワカサギを釣りたいけど寒いのは苦手…そんなあなたにおススメのゲームです！昔彼女とバイカル湖でチョウザメを釣ったのですが、このゲームで氷上に穴を掘り他のプレイヤーと釣りをしていると、その時の記憶が鮮明に蘇ります。ゲーム自体にはとても満足なのですが、キャラのカスタマイズ要素がもう少し豊富だともっと流行ると思います。折角マルチプレイなので髪型とか顔も弄りたいですし、靴や手袋も自分のセンスで選びたいです。
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just like real life. Interesting, not my genre though. :P
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played only on VR. Vive Cosmos. I like the game very much. The fishes are realistic. It's such an interesting experience to get a 23kg carp! I find the battle royal a little confusing, so I don't play it. And I want a radio to be in the game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →fun, i get more luck in here then i do ice fishing irl so 10/10 :D
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No more updates!.. sad
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a 2016 game, so I can't blame it for the graphics and simplicity. But running this on my 3070ti is just a waste of my GPU. boring and repetitive, pure fishing experience. if you like that this is probably the game for you. not for me anyways.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a fun game, but can easily get boring after a while. My recommendation is to play with at least 1 friend, this will make it much more fun, and much less boring. Now, go catch some fish!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yet another disgusting "let's torture and kill animals" simulator. When a fish is removed from its natural habitat, It's as if someone put your head in a plastic bag and watched you choke to death. This despicable "game" condones and makes fun of that cruel practice. This kind of abomination should never have been allowed on Steam.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not the greatest graphics but a fun little fishing game. Worth the few bucks i paid for it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →having hard time with joining friend's server, but overall it's pretty fun where you can satisfy your boredom
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very interesting and peaceful game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun with friends
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ice Lakes pros: fast game with modern day graphics with easy controls that moves from location A to B to C and so on, cons: seems very repetitive. gameplay becomes uninteresting after a few rounds. good game.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →best ice fishing game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Runs really well even on low end PC. seams to be very realistic well taking the long wait and freezing cold out of real ice fishing... Enjoy the game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ice Lakes is a fishing simulator that fully commits to realism, patience, and atmosphere rather than trying to transform fishing into a fast-paced arcade experience. Focused entirely on the niche activity of ice fishing, the game recreates the slow and methodical nature of standing on frozen lakes while carefully studying fish behavior, weather conditions, and equipment choices. What could have easily become a repetitive or overly technical simulator instead turns into a surprisingly immersive…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game for when you want to fish on an ice lake.
