WEBFISHING review

WEBFISHING is the cheapest paid game here at $4.99 on the US Steam store, and it has the largest positive review count of any pick: 97% of 50,091 English reviews. The developer, lamedeveloper, describes it as a multiplayer online casual fishing game where you relax, hang out and make friends. There are nearly 100 creatures to catch, a journal to complete, baits, lures and rods to upgrade, and cosmetics and props to collect. Much of the appeal is social: players meet in a shared camp, play a real guitar, draw with chalk and catch fish together. That focus is also the limit. There is no realistic tackle, fish behavior or weather modeling, it runs only on Windows, and Steam lists no controller support. Anglers who want to learn real techniques should pick a simulator, while groups who want a cheap game to chat over will get the most from it.
