At face value, fishing might not be the electrifying sport most people are clamoring for. It’s no secret that sports like football and basketball have more extensive fan bases. This is why few AAA fishing games exist, and fishing is mainly used as a small feature in video games. That’s not to say fishing can’t be a rousing hobby that translates well into video games.
Fishing appeared in some of the earliest video games, yet some series’ fishing mechanics haven’t changed a bit. Fishing in games like Red Dead Redemption 2 or Final Fantasy XV adds more depth to the overall experience. Who has what it takes to catch a whopper?
Criteria: As long as a game includes fishing in some way, it will be considered.
10 Pokémon Sword & Shield
It might not have the most advanced fishing mechanics, but it does have the best fishing in the Pokémon mainline series. Fishing in this generation is as straightforward as finding a black circle, then casting your rod’s line into the water. Players won’t find a massive bass in this game; however, what they will find is an assortment of Pokémon with different sizes and appearances.
Fishing has hardly changed since the franchise’s early generations. It might be time for Pokémon to follow other AAA video games and incorporate more advanced fishing mechanics.
9 Euro Fishing
As a game based solely on fishing, Euro Fishing offers immersive gameplay. Players can become masterful anglers by practicing in this simulation game. As expected, there is lots of waiting while playing the game. The anticipation can be cut with a knife.
From an enjoyability standpoint, Euro Fishing missed the mark, but the game showed much promise in its early days. Love or hate it, it’s hard to deny that Euro Fishing offers a more realistic experience than most fishing games.
8 The Legend Of Zelda: Link’s Awakening
Found in the Northern section of Mabe Village is a subtle feature that must be experienced. 2019’s The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening remake contains a fishing mini-game that expands upon the one found in the original Game Boy title by adding fish types and more polished gameplay mechanics.
There are fish like the Runt, Lunker, and Cheep Cheep that make the catch satisfying. Also, there is the overarching goal of catching the prize of the pond, Ol’ Baron. Catch Ol’ Baron and be handsomely rewarded with at least 90 Rupees.
7 Stardew Valley
Stardew Valley’s stellar fishing is attributed to the types of fish and its relaxing nature. Certain fish appear during the off-season, yet fishing in the game is a year-round sport. To catch fish in Stardew Valley, press the Use Tool button and gauge the meter for distance.
Despite having layers of depth, Stardew Valley can lack immersion as the 16-bit graphics are on par with a Super Nintendo game. Resembling a retro simulation game, Stardew Valley’s Pelican Town is the setting for highly relaxing fishing.
6 Ark: Survival Evolved
The action-adventure survival game Ark: Survival Evolved takes fishing to a whole new level with a fishing net. This item was added as part of the Expansion Pack Genesis: Part 1.
A fishing net might not be for everyone, which is why the game’s devs have incorporated other options. Ark: Survival Evolved includes a fishing rod, which yields different sizes and types of fish depending on the bait used. Expect to catch Sabertooth Salmon and Piranhas when fishing in-game; some players might also find rare treasures.
5 World Of Warcraft
If someone is in the mood for relaxing fishing and doesn’t want to get into the sport’s complexities, World of Warcraft is a must-play. However, its subscription structure might put off certain people.
Although numerous water bodies make the fishing fantastic, it might be time for this MMORPG to switch to a free-to-play model. Subscribers, however, play the game regularly, relishing the opportunity to go fishing.
4 Red Dead Redemption 2
Rockstar Games is continually going above and beyond by incorporating features outside the main story in its games. Fishing is initially introduced in the main story of Red Dead Redemption 2, but the bulk of the content is experienced in free roam.
Grab a fishing pole from the inventory, bait the rod, and cast it into a body of water. Red Dead Redemption 2 contains an abundance of fish, including valuable legendary ones.
3 Fishing Resort
Naturally, since the game released on the Nintendo Wii, Fishing Resort utilizes motion controls. There are 216 fish species contained in this game.
Since fishing is the main component of the title, and it’s not only a side feature, Fishing Resort is quite polished. The largest fish in the game is Dunkleosteus, a prehistoric fish that is extremely rare. Even with a 39-hour completion time, few players have caught the magnificent creature.
2 Sea Of Thieves
Starting out as a lackluster pirate adventure, Sea of Thieves has evolved into so much more. According to seaofthieves.com, “Give a man a fish, and he’ll eat for a day – teach a man to fish, and he’ll rank up with The Hunter’s Call.”
Compared to the swashbuckling adventures that populate the game, fishing provides a more relaxing way to pass the time. It also has benefits such as providing food, although catches will need to be cooked.
1 Fishing Planet
Hands down, Fishing Planet is the most immersive and exciting fishing game on the market. It’s as close as someone will get to doing the real thing without leaving their own home.
Expect to grind levels in this game while catching an assortment of fish. To top things off, Fishing Planet is using a free-to-play model that seems to work. The game is widely available on platforms like Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
