This is a cool, adorable, charming platformer that becomes quite challenging in the last level. It controls well, the music is awesome, and it emulates the game boy feel perfectly.
The main mechanic is your bombs are used as makeshift platforms, and as your weapon. You have to manage them well, especially on bosses - because getting stuck in an area when your bombs are on cooldown is almost a sure death sentence. It’s very engaging and I loved it.
This is an easy recommendation for anyone, and especially if you like platformers.

Moonglow Bay
A really fun and relaxing game.
I’m a bit sad it has such a mixed review score.
There’s not really a big challenge to anything you do ingame, however to me this was perfectly fine.
I wanted to play a really laid back game, which is exactly what Moonglow Bay seemed to be.
And I got even more.
You can just chill, catch a few fish, cook, collect pieces of the story behind your character and the citizens of the bay.
You’ll progress through quite the variety of biomes and there’s lots of interesting fish to find, that all have nice little myths the people of the bay affiliate them with.

I really can’t recommend the game in it’s current state. There’s just too many bugs ranging from small visual things to currently unfixable softlocks. I’m currently stuck, unable to progress through a bossfight because it simply won’t continue. I see too many other issues like this in the game’s discord as well. Keyboard support seems like a very last moment addition; on launch, the controls were wonky and you couldn’t even save your game. They updated the controls, but there’s still no way to rebind anything. The game also doesn’t use the mouse, which is strange for a game with analog input in sections. I really wish this game had had some sort of early access/open beta period to iron out the more obvious and game-breaking issues before launch.

The Fisherman - Fishing Planet
I’ve played both Fishing Planet and The Fisherman: Fishing Planet, they are both great and have different issues. One reason I enjoy The Fisherman is that you don’t need to worry so much about making money in the game. You buy licenses one time, travel is cheaper, no cooldown on forwarding the time, and you make baitcoins by catching uniques (a few species gave credits on uniques). I got the game when it was on 60% discount, and I think it’s worth that but would probably think twice for paying full price for it (could be better to spend that money on the regular Fishing Planet instead).

Gave this review after not playing the game enough: This is what Fishing Planet used to be before they decided to change everything. Catch rates are so so much better and it is very much less grindy and believe me I grinded my backside off in Fishing Planet. Still early days but would recommend it but not at £34.99 I shopped around and got it much much cheaper.
Edit 31/01/2020: There is still bugged fish in the game where no matter what you the fish either runs and runs or comes so far in and then runs again.

Bassmaster® Fishing 2022
02/12/2022 Game Updates - Update 3 has been released! https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1449500/view/3123806106491165146
I’ve played all the DTG Fishing Simulators and have over 1000 hours on Fishing Sim World: Pro Tour. Here’s my review on the latest in the series. Bassmaster Fishing 2022. This review includes both a thumbs up and thumbs down section at the end. These reflect my overall view of the game. I will edit/update this review as new content/patches are rolled out.
Having read some of the reviews already posted about this game, I would like to address a couple of things. At the time of writing this review I can confirm the Deluxe Edition items on the Steam version are now working. DTG Fishing released a patch a day or so ago so this issue has been resolved. You may need to restart the game and the Steam Client in order for these items to appear in game.

The Catch: Carp & Coarse Fishing
I like the game but to be fair it is very similar to FSW in game play and appearance. I was expecting more but but am very willing to give the fishing sim a fair go. In FSW its so easy to catch fish they nearly throw themselves at you but in The Catch you have to use at least a tiny part of ur brain instead of hope for the best mentality which I welcome gladly. Had no boss fish yet but that is also a welcomed change for catching 1 every other cast (PLEASE don’t change that).
EDIT, forget this rubbish. Dovetail Games never fix any problems or glitches in there games and are only interested in DLC’s. Its such a shame coz The Catch Course and Carp could really be something, but the devs (HMMM THE MANAGEMENT) don’t care at all and are only here for a money grab. SO MANY issues in game that it would take me days to point out, maybe some realistic testing of the game before release should have been an option (NO WORK DLC’S)

If you enjoyed Fishing Sim World i see no reason why you should not like this game and i think you will enjoy the changes.
If your looking to buy this game for the first time this fishing game is not a full on fishing simulation / simulator type game , but is a fun enjoyable game to play with some sim like elements . (Can also recommend Fishing Sim World Pro Tour)
Personal opinion
i would of personally liked to have seen this game as a update and dlc added to Fishing Sim World Pro Tour rather than a individual game i cant help feeling that they have killed fsw off with the release of this game and am left wondering if i will play fswProTour again ?? due to playing The Catch Carp & Coarse.

Fishing Sim World®: Pro Tour
This game has the potential to become an awesome game. In fact, its still good and enjoyable.
Lets start with some good things:
-
Graphics! Water, fish, enviroment.
-
Feeling of the rod and the fish. I have tried some other fishing games. And I couldnt make myself love them because I couldnt feel the mass of the fish, the resistance of the fish and the rod. In Eurofishing and in this game as well, I have the feeling that I am really fighting with the fish. May be its achieved by the vibration may be its just me, but i really enjoy the feeling when fighting with the huge carp or catfish. I still think you can tweak the resistance of the fish to make it a bit harder.

I am a software engineer, have been working on triple A games as a UI developer and understand the constraints of game development. I am 50 and have been a gamer since I was 12. I love gaming and am especially very aware of what create a good immersion and what breaks it.
Coming from Ultimate Fishing Simulator I am enjoying Fishing Sim World, good graphics, atmospheric and the fish fighting/animations are much improved compared to euro fishing.
Good to see updates are coming at very regular intervals, here are a couple of improvements that I could suggest:

Fishing Adventure
Bought this on sale (AUD$0.75) and for that price it’s a steal!
I love fishing games and this one is very intuitive and simple… In saying that it is VERY simple… Controls are basic and easy to use, but graphics are also quite simple. I have yet to figure out how to move both oars in a boat at the same time, rather than going in circles or zigzagging..
I’m yet to unlock much of the gear and am still fine tuning controls, but I’m loving it.
7/10 Dragons - Just for the fun.

Was pleasantly surprised. A full fishing game for the price of UFS dlc, you can’t go wrong especially if you previously owned Pro Fishing as I got it for 80p!! Even at full price it’s worth it, and if you’re a glass half full sort of a person you’ll get a lot of fun and relaxation out of this game. The graphics are sharp and there is a workable clutch system that does the job. The fish look the part and splash and jump out of the water. The sound is nice. Yes it’s a mobile port (what do you expect for the price?), but it’s a successful port imo.

Professional Fishing
I play this game since it got launched for the public (no early beta testing). This is not the first fishing sim I play, so I can compare a few things with other games (which is rathe rnormal, I think).
This fishing sim is not hard to understand. Maybe there should be an inbuild tutorial to make players understand certain aspects of the game (like f.e. buying and changing the rods, how to use the sonar, etc.) but that can and is covered by the community in the guide section of the game’s Steam page/forum. You can just start fishing, alone or with friends, and having fun in environments that speak to the imagination. I simply mean that the surroundings, the graphics, are great!

This is a review of Professional Fishing version 1.1.5
This is the third fishing game I’ve tried on Steam. I first tried Fishing Planet and, though it started out well, changes to the game made playing it more of a chore than a joy.
You can find my review for it here:
https://steamcommunity.com/id/JonathanJOneill/recommended/380600/
I then moved on to Russian Fishing 4 but I found it far too grindy and the RPG-esque design of skills killed the game’s fun factor for me, though I did enjoy its bottom fishing.

Puzzles for smart: Underwater Kingdom
Not a bad game, nice puzzles.

Hello Y’all!!!
You know me from the classic that is “Puzzles for Smart - Horses” and Im here to tell you - THIS IS IT!
The makers sure know how to put the most adorable horses and fishes and isolate them in this unique puzzle game for the whole friend group!
This time I played it by myself but it absolutely didnt take away my enjoyment - in fact I encourage it! Just me and this game gave me time to truly appreciate the game for what it is. Fishes are of course not as captivating as horses so there’s that but I cannot recommend this game enough!
