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.

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

        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.

    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 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)

    Fishing paradiso is a mobile fishing game with very simple mechanics, a light hearted story, and a chill vibe. Doesn’t take long to beat, but it’s free

      The game is for free on Google but costs 15€ on Steam? That’s confusing!

      I’ll give it a shot!

        I think I might have spent a little money for an ad-free experience on Google, though definitely less than $15

    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.

    since you brought up stardew and ac, fishing doesn’t need to be the main focus/gameplay of the game?

    Far Cry 5 has fishing, can’t remember if there’s different fishing gear really.

    Warframe has fishing, but it can take quite some time for a new player to get there. The “openworld” areas on planets have spear fishing you can do for faction rep. etc.

      Well, I want to be able to fish more in a cozy environment. Not sure FC and Warframe qualify for that 😉

        but Dredge does? :D

        But yea, those games probs won’t do if cozy stuff is the thing here.

        edit: Though, Dave the Diver? Not really fishing with a fishing pole or anything, more like, harpoon gun and diving.

        Have you played any of the harvest moon / story of seasons games? It’s the series that inspired Stardew Valley. Most of them are, in general, much more chill than even Stardew itself. There are a bunch of them on steam (on there, look only for the story of seasons games and ignore the ones named Harvest Moon)

            Friends of Mineral Town is a good remake of one of the most beloved entries in the series.

    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.

      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.
