Ice Lakes
When it comes to pure Ice Fishing glory, the most realistic and fun ice fishing game out there is Ice Lakes. Being Canadian and a Fish/Wildlife Management graduate, I’ve done LOTS of fishing on icy Canadian lakes and rivers. This is the next best thing without being at the mercy of Mother Nature. This game is surely even better if you’re capable of obtaining a VR set. I unfortunately do not have one, but still enjoy the game very much as is.
There’s no cash store, so when you buy the game, you start off the same way as anyone else who starts playing the game. There’s no ‘god mode’ fishing gear sets to buy, or special fishing areas to unlock with real cash.

non-ironically the game that I enjoyed the most, even though I don’t have many hours
it’s not the game that is great, but all the stories you develop with your friends while you’re playing it
I mean, I enjoy the game, it doesn’t have much content, but it surely is very rewarding
but hear me out
when you play this game with your friends, it’s like everyone is reunited in person, there in the ice, chilling and fishing
you don’t have much action, you’re waiting for the fish, and you all start talking about random things you saw on reddit, something that happened at school/work or whatever, one thing leading to another, until you don’t even remember how the conversation began

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.

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.

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:
