i spent $30 on this game and they abandoned it. do not buy this game.

I don't really not recommend this game but it has a couple of negative things. The biggest one from my experience is game crashes as well as that Avalanche have stopped updating the game.

It is a really fun game but since they no longer really care about this game I wouldn't buy it for the original price, but I would get it on sale. The gameplay itself is pretty fun and enjoyable for extended periods of time if you enjoy fishing. Really good fishing game mainly because of the open world. A decent amount of fish species and a fun trophy ranking system, like the one in COTW The hunter.

I would like to have seen either a couple more maps with more interesting fish, like something in south america, ocean fishing or just more species added to the existing reserves.

To avoid end of the development they could have just from the start added fishing to The Hunter. I still think they can add it to The Hunter in a dlc. There are already a lot of maps with a lot of water which could be fished. This would keep the developers working on the game and also advance The Hunter.

So based mostly on the fact that the development has ended I would only recommend to get it on sale.

gud game
