How to Fish is the game I've been waiting for without knowing it, thanks to its realistic physics and remote island setting. The combination of fishing, combat, and exploration keeps you hooked while you search for a way back home.
Although How to Fish has a unique charm with its unique mechanics and endless gameplay possibilities, it also shows some limitations that limit its durability. Is 10 hours of gameplay really long enough for this simulation?
Addictive physics and setting
The gameplay in How to Fish revolves around the realistic physics that control the character's movements and fish behavior. The system forces you to learn how to move your boat, cast and retrieve your rod with precision to catch different types of fish.
The open islands present a variety of creatures that add diversity to the game. Each one has its own unique characteristics, from the distance at which they can be caught to their attacks and defensive abilities against the player.
Content limitations
Despite its addictive physical gameplay, How to Fish feels incomplete with only 10 hours of content. This can be frustrating for players looking for a game filled with long-term activities and rewards.
Verdict
How to Fish is a fishing simulation with addictive physical gameplay, but its limited durability questions its long-term appeal.
