We purchased Fishing Planet 1st and then The Fisherman ~ Fishing Planet 2nd. Both versions are reasonable simulations and, in fact, downright fun! We agree with the idea of “free-to-play” and “pay-to-win.” Hey, that’s true in real life, mates. The developers, Fishing Planet, LLC, have put a solid effort into this fishing simulation. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Fishing Planet is a highly realistic online first-person multiplayer fishing simulator developed by avid fishing enthusiasts for anglers to bring you the full thrill of actual angling. The game is available on Steam and has received mixed reviews from players.
On the positive side, the game's graphics are impressive, with detailed environments and realistic water physics. The variety of fish species and fishing locations adds to the game's replay-ability. The mechanics of fishing are well-implemented, requiring patience and skill, much like real-life fishing. The game also offers a wide range of equipment and tackle, allowing players to customize their fishing experience.
However, the game has been criticized for its steep learning curve. New players may find it difficult to understand the mechanics and strategies of the game. Some players have also complained about the game's monetization model, which can feel pay-to-win at times. The game offers premium equipment and locations, but these often require real money to purchase.
Another common complaint is the lack of realistic interaction with other players. Despite being an online multiplayer game, Fishing Planet often feels like a single-player game due to the lack of cooperative or competitive multiplayer modes.
In conclusion, Fishing Planet is a solid choice for fishing enthusiasts who enjoy realistic simulations. However, its steep learning curve and monetization model may turn off casual players.

This otherwise nice little Airport (ground pounder) Simulation game is still broken/buggy since the last Update 2018 12 27, dated Dec 27, 2018. The last words written in Community Discussion by the dev/Toplitz Productions representative bk_Toplitz (Developer) were "...aware of bugs and working on it..." posted Jun 4, 2018 @ 7:20 am. Last time I checked, bk_Toplitz (Developer/fake title:should read representative of the publisher doing little support jobs) is still with Toplitz Productions keeping customers calm and trying to be helpful/fielding flak in Community Discussion of their most lucrative and successful game title.

In my opinion, this review belongs to the games publisher and not so much with the developer, who has no real control over the destiny of their game, because the publishers are the one who control the purse strings, admittedly as it should be in the business world. Sadly, though very playable up to a point, the playing customer can not achieve the games goals because the game was abandoned. In Airport Simulator 2019's current condition, there is no way that it is anywhere close to being worth $19.99. So buyer beware! I purchased this game in a very temporary window of reduced price for $4.99. Also, noted that the community discussion board has been inactive, like a ghost town, for a long, long time.

For me, I got my moneys worth having a little bit of fun. I have purchased many other game titles here in Steam, from Toplitz Productions, one of them is still amazing, but all the rest of the titles are now unsupported and dead. Toplitz official representatives, regarding some of their games, try their very best (TP really does have some amazing PR people) to appease and sooth customers that are so endearingly hopeful, for a little game patch, or a new version release of their most loved game. Sad, but true, the gaming industry is a business, and not a work of charity. Money drives success for them. If you love the game you are playing, then you have to financially chip in to the publisher/developers bottom line. That's why I've bought games from this publisher that Iv'e never actually played. I do realize, that so many players have an extremely limited amount of expendable income. For you, I can only say, keep plugging away, and enjoy what you can, when you can, and while you can. Life's to short to do otherwise. ~ A happy gamer, but I can not recommend this game unless the publisher releases more resources in to making it right, all the way to a successful conclusion.

Farming Simulator 17 is one of the better versions of the game.

Every version of Farming Simulator by GIANTS SOFTWARE is worth playing. I have them all, Going all the way back to Farming Simulator 2011. My grandson introduced me to the game when FS19 was new, and I've been playing daily ever since then. It was obvious to me, that when FS22 was released, I would start playing the latest version too. When the entire farming community and I realized GIANTS had some wrinkles in the game to iron out, and mods needed to be updated, approved, and added to the Mod-Hub, I chose a different course of action, and decided to purchase all the original (back) versions of the game. FS11, FS13, FS15, and FS17. I'm so glad that I chose to do that. What a rich history of this amazing game, that only the old-timer farmers knew about and rarely, if ever spoke of. FS17 = WOW!!!, FS15 Amazing!!! It has a beginners tutorial built into the game, worth the game price, that every FS novice should consider buying. The frustration factor reduction and being treated rudely on social media boards and forums could be greatly reduced. BTW, for those who like to use a controller with their PC game, 15 and 17 have it.

An old saying seems to have some truth to it. "Sometimes, we don't know where we are going, until we know where we have been.

By far, the best game simulation yet that I've played, in since beginning this gaming hobby in 1990 with MS Flight Simulator.

More review to follow as I add more hours of game play.

Okay, nice piece of work for the newbie to learn how to play Farmer's Dynasty. Wishing you continued success with your future endeavors UMEO Studios and Toplitz Productions.

Happy farming to all the newbies'!

Yes, I recommend this game to other players. After playing 70 PC game hours on all three maps, I find the FS22 base game a real winner. In fact, though Giants delivered near the end of year 2021, I cast my vote for FS22 to be game of the year.

Enjoying House Flipper very much-loved, It's a great simulation.

Great game, and lots of fun.
