60 of 183 · most liked firstIntergalactic Fishing is one of those games where the gameplay has been trivialized so much that there's hardly any player interaction. The main story is fairly dull since all the events are delivered through plain text and you're mostly just clicking on the things that the game tells you to click on. Which would be fine if the fishing gameplay was good, but it's not. There's one cool idea with the lure building system. By arranging building blocks on a grid, you can manipulate a number of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When what you think will be a fun little dither becomes a few dozen hours.... This is maybe THE most chill game I have ever played, and I don't even like fishing. Don't be put off either by the super low-fi graphics and feel, they belie a significant amount of depth and simulation in this aptly named fishing story-RPG. What seems initially as a set of simple mechanics soon sprawl into dozens of activities around a silly and fairly short main quest about saving fish in lakes across the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →best fishing game out currently. the lure system and fish stats are awesome. it looks simple on the outside but there are some deeper mechanics once you get your feet wet. 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is Elite Dangerous if it was a fishing game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So chill man. Put on some tunes, craft a lure and hook the dopamine. Definitely worth picking up for anyone who is a fan of fishing mini games, logic puzzles and proc gen content. Story-line is a tutorial but I'm happy just chilling in my boat and fishing the galaxy. Gameplay is: - Crafting lures to catch fish - Travelling to a lake and trial and error-ing your way to landing fish and scanning it's data (Environment etc) - Taking part in tournaments and fish bounties - Catching fish and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Had a bug with the game. Boat Anchor Games kindly assisted me in every way they could think of.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Review after at least 30 minutes: Intergalactic Fishing (25 hours at time of writing.) Did I enjoy it? - Absolutely! Will I come back to it? - Without a doubt, there's a lot here to dig into. Was it worth my time? - Definitely! It's such a relaxing and engaging title. Would I recommend it? - This is definitely a niche game, but if you enjoy fishing and exploration/discovery this is absolutely worth checking out! First Impressions: "A.K.A.: Interplanetary Fish Detective 🔎🎣" So, I'm not the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →2025, and this is still the top fishing game, hands down. ❤️
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good times. Along with the low res graphics, the game can seem shallow early on with few controls and easy to catch fish at first, but the game has surprisingly deep mechanics, and keeps amazing stats. It's odd at first but fun to craft lures. Finding new lakes and researching them is fun. Trying to figure out how to catch each fish is engaging with many variables such as time of day, depth, multiple lure characteristics, reel speed, etc. And they are not all the same - each fish reacts…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I never thought I'd enjoy a fishing game this much. It looks simple on the surface, but there is a surprising amount going on under the hood to simulate each fish. Should run on just about any computer still capable of booting and takes up less than 100MB, so it's definitely one of the games I'm keeping installed to play here and there. My only "issue" is that so far, the fish just look like normal fish. Was expecting to see some weird alien fish, especially in the procedurally generated…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was reviewed using Version 1.4.7. Your experience on other versions may vary. Short Answer: A fishing simulator with some light RPG elements and a ton of depth hiding behind its simplistic appearance. It sets itself apart through its meticulous approach to tracking down fish and crafting lures, but this can understandably turn away players that just want to focus on the fishing itself. Watch the "Developer Rundown" video on the store page and/or keep reading down below to make sure…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of my favorite games this year, though it's not a new game. There's a learning curve at first, then a game story, then an endless mode where you can keep fishing, exploring, joining tournaments and leveling up. The simple graphics and sound scapes are effective. Lure design and very specific details about each fish species make for a surprising amount of strategy and variety. You can put as much thought as you like into your gear and where you fish and for what, then you can just fish…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has ruined every other fishing game for me, for every fishing lover this game is designed with brilliance and very thorough in its detail to make you addicted to it. 11/10 I found out about this game after hours of going through reddit posts and comments searching for a game that fill my hunger for the rush of adrenalin that i get after finally winning against a fish my obsession started like many by the mini fishing in a game (for me rdr2 and stardew valley) but i craved more…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →All those fishing games on sale when this is the only one you need. Interesting mechanics, stuff to discover, etc. Highly recommended.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am very much a lover of fishing in games. This game satisfies that itch perfectly. While graphically the game is very simple -- this imo works well for it. It's a fishing simulation game first and foremost. There's an indepth lure system, procedural generated lakes, handcrafted lakes, and tons of different fish. I played around 5 hours today, and man -- this game rules. This games been sitting on my wishlist for a long time -- and I'm glad I finally decided to pick it up. I do think…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Intergalactic Fishing is a minimal graphics fishing game released by indie developer Boat Anchor Games in 2020. If you enjoy fishing games in any of the many games that feature them, Intergalactic Fishing is that fleshed out and given enough depth to stand on its own. The premise of the game is that the lake you call home is facing a mysterious problem. All the fish that live in it are beginning to die. In order to find out what’s happening, you have to investigate the ULT Corporation, which…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Somehow this is the only fishing game I know that manages to perfectly nail the feeling of being out on the lake or on the shoreline. Everything about the different ecology systems to the lure designer feels... It has an unexpected level of depth that makes it feel a little too real sometimes--dissecting the fish feels me with a little guilt I feel harvesting a real fish, but it's necessary for understanding and respecting a species. You can just really tell the developers care a lot about…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simple but deep. Lots to do, or just enjoy fishing. Deserves to be Overwhelmingly Positive so just adding my positive review to the mix.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Two words: Character Creator. Dice-roll player portraits? What were you thinking? Choose your name. Now close your eyes and throw darts for your player's appearance. Does this matter as much as I think it does? I just want to cast a line. I can't assume laziness from a game of this depth, so is it a message? Maybe it's a hidden time-sink to inflate player activity. A+ for everything else so far, but please, remedy this! *Edit: 4-5 hours to roll about 4 or 5 acceptable player portraits.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not enough feedback on why you aren't catching fish -- I'd much rather there were integrated feedback systems so you knew why fish weren't biting, but -- at least at the beginning, I never got any further -- it just seems too hit and miss (and it is so very heavily weighted on miss). Feels too much like I'm trying to learn how to play darts while blindfolded.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ this game is so awesome you can catch huge fish and also little ones
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →behold: the comfiest fishing game on the market today and it can run on a toaster. or a steam deck, if you prefer. i was honestly really pleasantly surprised with this, despite the very simple controls and visual aesthetic, theres lots of little system at play to keep you engaged; of course theres the obvious things such as certain fish requiring you to use a specific reel in speed, or a specific lure, or to travel to specific parts of the map, but then you have more unique wrinkles such as…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the best games in my Steam Library, without a doubt. It takes a little bit of work to get into it, and we're talking about 20 minutes or so, and suddenly you realise how deep this games goes. Once you run through the brief storyline you end up with an end-game that lasts for ages, and you realise why you were so attracted to this game. Also, it's perfect on the Steam Deck with a few tweaks to the controls (use the mouse + wasd scheme and tweak it to your own playstyle).
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've been playing fishing games for almost 30 years now and consider myself a fan of the genre. But fishing games can vary greatly in both quality and entertainment factor. Some can look beautiful but ultimately not be a lot of fun to play. Some can look pretty rough but be a great time. Thankfully, Intergalactic Fishing fits neither of those descriptions.While it is a game with simple graphics, they are very effective and look really good in their own right, but what's more important is that…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's ok but it takes too long for fish to bite. If you have a lure that is perfectly tailored to a fish and you cast in the right spot during high feeding time you should get a bite in a few seconds every time. You don't, it can be multiple minutes before a perfect cast gets a bite, and even then it's often the wrong fish. The lure crafting system would be cool but it's mostly annoying to interact with since you're trying to make a specific thing while solving a really obtuse puzzle. You…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game works great on Steam Deck. It has full controller support. It has an niche appeal. If you look at this game and know you are going to like it then you are going to love it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My favorite video game genres are high-action games like old school FPS, ShMUps and ARPGS. I don't like fishing IRL. What I DO like, quite a bit honestly, is this game. It's just wonderful. Relaxing, unique, easy to play, calming, fun and exciting and very rewarding. IF is a thoroughly enjoyable game for anyone that likes to take a relaxed approach to exploring and collecting things while having a very clear upgrade system and an interesting story. However, it sounds like the game really gets…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Intergalactic Fishing, developed and published by Boat Anchor Games, is a unique and surprisingly deep indie simulation that transforms the quiet pastime of fishing into a multidimensional, data-driven adventure across the cosmos. At first glance, it may look like a minimalist fishing game with retro visuals, but beneath its simple surface lies a layered design that merges simulation, strategy, exploration, and even science fiction narrative. You play as an angler who begins fishing on Earth…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Initially what really impressed me about this game is making lure designs on the fly to suit the targeted fish. Now that I've finished the main story, the side quests, and have all the best gear, I still love this game because it's so relaxing to jump into on the fly. I'm working towards stretch goals like beating the community records that are kept track of through the official discord. The largest of fish ever caught is also tracked by a leaderboard in-game. The game isn't all about gear…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →played about a dozen fishing games looking for a real heater n this is the one. very much like older pc sim games that represented ecology with simple systems. extremely engaging while being easy to get into
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For the tutorial quests, waiting over 5 minutes with different lures, different depth areas and different times of day, nothing to catch, staring at nothing. Boring.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't let the top down 2d graphics fool you. This is an amazing fishing game that isn't like all the others. I've been looking for a unique fishing game that stands out from the norm, and I think I found it. It's an exploration fishing game with sci-fi thrown in. There are tons of random lakes to transport too and fish, with each species having their own traits. The idea is to dissect fish until you've maxed out your research on that species. This way you better know how to catch that…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Deceptive in looks but let me tell you there is so much more to this game than meets the eye. Intergalactic Fishing turns the act of fishing into an art, each lake is a puzzle to be solved: do I have the correct lure? am I fishing at the right time of day? am I fishing in the right water depth? etc. Does it take itself too seriously? In the sense that IRL fishing is nowhere near as much of a puzzle to be solved? Yes, it does. Is this the best fishing game on the market hands down? Also yes.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very special little Fishing/Statistics game that checks my very specific boxes for this type of experience. If you're into catching and collecting different fish species, and you're a quest-loving good-time boy, and modifying your various boats gets you fired-up, then this special little game is ready to hug you right back. A Wonderful gem.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the procedurally-generated fishing game I never knew I wanted. So you hoon around in a little boat, through an infinite array of lakes, trying to catch the random fishes within. The game starts off with a satisfying "main quest" story, but eventually unshackles you to explore at your leisure. The RPG/progression system is really satisfying, like Terraria, where you catch bigger/rarer fish, allowing you to upgrade your boat and gear, which leads to more impressive catches. You can…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a hidden gem.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cool concept, and fairly relaxing if you're in the right mindset, but I often found myself either frustrated or bored or both. Catching fish is just a stat check on your rod and lure, almost no skill involved. It has that release day No Mans Sky feel. Plenty of cool ideas, but none are fully realised and what is here feels bare bones. Except the lure customization, that's neat. It doesn't matter what lake, what fish, what objective, it all feels the same to play. Which is fine for a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →10/10 top tier GOTY fishing game. Came expecting chicanery, got fishing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A chill fishing game with a fun take on lures! Low impact and can run on a lot of systems, so enjoy a chill fishy gamey~
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game with a friendly developer. This game does one mechanic amazingly well - a large portion of the progression in this game is purely informational: you learn more about what fish are in a lake and what might be required to catch them, as and you fill out your in-game log about the fish, your ability as a player to catch them increases, but only due to what you now know, not due to any statistical changes (e.g. you learn a specific fish likes blue lures, so you start using those to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was on the fence about giving this game a chance and am so glad I did. It has hooked me. The gameplay is simple on the surface, but underneath is a surprising depth of interesting mechanics. These mechanics are tied in to the procedural generation, giving the game much more longevity than I ever expected. On top of all of this, there is a small but dedicated community on discord for tournaments as well as chasing the leaderboard for the galaxies biggest fish. It is also a great game to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"What if No Man's Sky was just about fishing?" That's this game. It's great. Go fish in randomly generated lakes and sell the data about the fish. Mess around with customizing lures to try and figure out what makes them bite. Buy a better rod or a bigger boat and head out again. The perfect chill game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Amazing, put an hour or two into it and do the first few steps of the main quest to get some gear and you''ll see
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very chill game. Not the fishing game I was looking for at all but it was the one I ended up playing the most. A surprising amount of freedom and depth gives you a lot to do in this game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The human portrait art is hideous, and getting all the achievements was quite tedious—but even so, this might be the best fishing game I've played.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very enjoyable game and definitely one of the most relaxed games I've ever been able to find. It is actually quite open world and allows you to completely put aside the main story for as long as you'd like. I'd recommend this as well to people who like puzzle games, as each fish has its own stats/locations/etc that lend themselves to a puzzle-like format. The style is simplistic, sure, but it allows for an incredibly smooth UI. I have never encountered anything close to lag in this game (and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm really enjoying this. Not finished w/ the story line as I've been diverted with exploring various lakes and discovering the fish in them, along with upgrading my boat, fishing rod, and various tech to help along the way. When younger I used to fish a lot, and this game is good at capturing the spirit of learning a lake/pond and where the fish are. The game conveys the uncertain process of finding the fish, and as you catch more of them you learn the fish's behaviors and locations. Among…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you enjoy fishing in games, this is the best I’ve come across. It’s really engaging to experiment with different parts of a lake and tweak lures to try to catch fish you don’t know much about. If that sounds fun to you, you’ll probably love this game, but if you don’t like the idea of waiting a while to get a bite, or need the game to tell you exactly how to catch each fish, you’ll probably be frustrated with this title.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Back in my day, there was only START NEW GAME and you were ready to go. Nowadays, developers need to ABSOLUTELY explain everything, and, if that isn't enough, put long and long and long lines and dialogue choices with clever jokes that aren't really clever, and barely jokes. As a result, it becomes tiresome to play even before finishing the tutorial.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →for a game about fishing it does a really poor job at teaching you how to fish
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I found Intergalactic Fishing via Steam's Fishing Fest and as a guy who loves fishing and fishing games, this one really caught my eye. It's fairly simple and has very few requirements to run, plus it has Steam Deck support. Don't let this fool you though! It's incredibly fun and time consuming, especially wen you get access to unknown lakes and can find previously undiscovered fish. This is one one of my new favourite games!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →best deal in the spring sale hands down, so much fun, one of those "oh crap the sun is coming up..." games... lol for better or for worse.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fishing games... I remember one of the first ones I ever played was at a friend’s house. Back then, full games were hard to find, but there were these magazines selling shareware compilations on CDs. One of those had a fishing game. Needless to say, the limitations were pretty clear, but I definitely made the most of it. Years passed, and more fishing games came out, each with its own unique take. Some focused on graphics, others on mechanics, some on realism... But in the end, the goal is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Playing Intergalactic Fishing. This is the kind of shit I love to find on Steam. Graphics good enough for what it's trying to do, interesting mechanics and a completely new premise, and a decent sense of humor about itself.
unlabelledView post →Best fishing game in a long time, if not ever. Very DEEP!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An absolute hidden gem of a game that I wish more people knew about. I love fishing in games, and I'll admit to being pretty dubious when I first looked at the store page for this game. However, this has ended up being not just a fantastic fishing game, but a wonderful game in general. There are a lot of complexities to the fishing, but it's all very approachable and easy to pick up as you play more. Sometimes the fish just don't bite, but the galaxy is full of fish :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In my first hour of this game, I absolutely LOVE it! ..I'm already calling this little gem the "Project Zomboid" of all fishing games because it's just deep as hell. ...Love it, Love it, Love it! You can watch my first hour experience with this little gem of a game right HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coZh_LMP_fg RECOMMENDED.. It's not for everyone, just as Project Zomboid isn't for everyone, but if you're looking for a really deep fishing game and don't mind the graphics seen in…
