Racist

I like the game.When I join a public group with all whites in it. I get kicked out because I'm black..One guy was teasing about my hair style and had everyone laughing..Then I got the message I was kicked out by host..A very racist game

Nice fantasy fishing

While I love realVr fishing, this is actually a nice alternative especially since it’s free. But besides that the game is just straight up fun and relaxing. The environments are charming, lots of variety in fish, and multiple locations. Definitely one of the better free games I’ve come across. Would definitely recommend.

My absolute favorite game

Even if you’ve never fished, you’ll be hooked (get it?) on this game right away. I play for hours and love every minute. It’s very relaxing and can be challenging at times but definitely worth the time you spend. I promise you won’t regret getting it but make sure you tell Jim Bob I sent you.

Four lakes are free, not two

Saw another review that said that only the first two lakes are free. That is false. Four lakes are free, you need to complete the missions to unlock the third and fourth lakes. This is a fun game at a great price, I highly recommend.
