Looking for fishing games, but not the serious ones, more like Dredge, fishing in Stardew or Animal Crossing, stuff like that.
I heard Moonlight Bay wasn’t good, unfortunately.
Zelda 64
HadesCat Goes Fishing
Does Dave the diver count?
It does, I loved it!
RIDICULOUS FISHING
It’s not my cup of tea, so I can’t speak by experience, but a friend of mine tried WEBFISHING and loved it.
Thanks, I’ll check it out, although it looks a bit dated. Let’s see if it catches me (haha…ha…?)
That game is abandoned at the moment.
I don’t think it’s “abandoned,” I think it’s just “done.” It’s like a $5 indie game made by a solo dev, there isn’t an unfinished road map or anything.
Nice Day for Fishing might be worth checking out. It’s a new game made by the YouTubers Viva La Dirt League. Haven’t played it but looks like a fun twist on a fishing RPG.
Thank you, I’ll try the demo!
Sea of Thieves is amazing and has some decent fishing. Might want to stay in the single player world if you just want cozy, although a sense of (PvP) danger can definitely liven things up too.
It has “safe seas” now iirc
Ah, yes, that’s what I meant with single player (or really single ship, since you can play with your friends) mode, couldn’t remember the name
I never dared to get into the game, it’s intimidating.
It is if you really want to git gud.
But what it also is is the nicest open sea sailing simulator, with awesome ambience and a fantastic world to just sail around in and do some relaxing things like fishing and just exploring all the islands. Especially in Safer Seas mode.
Ok nothing will beat the gold standard that was Sega Dreamcast Fishing games with the rod controller that had a rumble pack for vibration. I had a buddy make a wooden box we could attach a bungie cord to give it more feel when you “pulled” the fish out of water (the box had cutouts to hold beer cans too). Simply the best way to virtually fish
Although the concept of it being in a Sonic game was pretty silly (and an entire path to play through no less) and the character is really annoying, I heard that even the Big the Cat fishing mode in Sonic Adventure (originally on the Dreamcast) was even good, gameplay-wise. I have played it but I don’t have much experience in other fishing games to compare it to. The only other fishing (mini-)game I have for comparison is the fishing in the 3D Zelda games. Between the two I think I prefer Zelda, though.
It was ok but the ocean/sea/bass fishing games were amazing. I really just want a compatible rod controller. I dont even like fishing IRL.
Fishing in Red Dead Redemption 2 is very relaxing.
The only game I’ll boot up just to fish in.
The games I’ve really enjoyed fishing in so far have been:
My Time At Portia Palia Spiritfarer
Of those 3 I’ve easily spent the most time in Portia. I really love the fishing in that game and when you get the super valuable fish you really feel like you earnt it :)
I have Sandrock on PC. Does that also have fishing? 🤔
Yeah it kinda does. It’s this weird sandfishing minigame though with a kind of claw thing that you throw out. Nowhere near as fun as the fishing in Portia imho.
Far Cry 5 strangely has very enjoyable fishing.
The varied enviroment really helps.
You can stand on a leafy, forested river bank with deer grazing nearby in the reeds as the sun rises. It can be the dock of a large lake with boats driving by during the day. Or you can be by a tiny rocky mountain lake shore as the sun sets over the distant hills. It’s can be really relaxing(as long as you’ve cleared the are and aren’t attacked by a wild animal)
Monster of the deep final Fantasy 15
I always find myself coming back to Sega Bass Fishing. The old arcade/Dreamcast game.
Valheim.
