This includes kayaks, bass boats and motorboats to get around. The more you progress, and the more money and coins you earn, the more things you can buy. Once you get through all of that, the game opens up a bit, but it still holds your hand and tells you what you have to do before you can do any type of free fishing, and that takes a while. In the beginning of the game, why you are still getting hints and tutorials, it teaches you about bait and what to use for different types of fish. There are two types of licenses, one is basic and the other is an unlimited license where no fish are off limits and you can fish at night. Another reason to watch your wallet is that it costs money to travel and to buy fishing licenses wherever you fish.

So spending it as soon as you get it is probably not a good idea. But you should hang on to that currency because the game will make you buy certain things. Once you complete these tasks, you receive currency and unlock items to purchase. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but the game tasks you with building a certain setup, then going to a location to catch fish that the game decides you should catch. You have to use in-game currency to buy these items, but you earn in-game currency by completing missions. You are tasked with upgrading all of your tackle that is needed to catch certain fish. As you go, it’s like a tier system for your gear in a way.

As the game moves forward and you are tasked with catching bigger and stronger fish, the game starts to get a lot more fun.

You can also control line tension, move your rod around and use different reel speeds to work on bringing in your catch. You hold RT/R2 to cast, and then LT/L2 to strike and you then reel the fish in with RT/R2. You get a tutorial on how to fish, and the controls are just fine. Once you do that, you are immediately thrown into fishing off the shores of a river. One of those things is way better and easier than the other, and I will explain this later in the things I liked and things I didn’t like.įirst off, you create your own character by choosing from very limited options. The Fisherman – Fishing Planet Is a game where you have two main things to do: Equip your tackle for certain types of fishing using a large number of tackle options - and I mean large - and then finding a place to fish.
