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.

    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.

    I always find myself coming back to Sega Bass Fishing. The old arcade/Dreamcast game.

    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.

      Thanks, I’ll check it out, although it looks a bit dated. Let’s see if it catches me (haha…ha…?)

    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.

        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

        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.

    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 :)

        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.
