Although I didn’t like the original gamejam demo, I bought this product hoping that continued development would make it a worthwhile experience. Despite some major graphical improvements and the implementation of many new features, the unfortunate truth is that the gameplay is still just as bland as it was back in 2022. Doing everything in this game takes absolutely ages; waiting for a bite takes ages, reeling the fish in takes ages, cooking the fish takes ages, and getting enough money to buy a worthwhile upgrade takes ages (Unless you’re on the Rogue Isle, in which case you can’t work on your catch record or any of the achievements).

About This Game
Open Fishing XL is an open world fishing game focused on creating a relaxing experience. Fill out a book with 115 fish species, buy rods, items, boats and more, explore the large map, identify cute insects, draw your own map, and enjoy fishing without worries with intuitive fishing mechanics.
I’ve tried to make an intuitive fishing system that anyone can understand. Simply pick some bait, throw out your line and make sure the fish doesn’t get away! The fish will give a good fight depending on it's size so come prepared with a variety of rods or use a weak rod on purpose to add some challenge.
The open world I’ve created for Open Fishing XL feels alive with birds, bugs and of course fish. With several regions and dozens of smaller areas within those all containing different fish it will take some exploration to catch them all.
Every fish has their own tastes so you’ll have to experiment to see what each fish likes. Bait can be bought from a vendor who can be found throughout the island. So look around for any places he might be hiding in.
The book will teach you how to fish and let you record your progress. it shows what fish you’ve caught, helps you remember what fish like which bait and where you caught them in the past. It also give information about each species like where it's name came from or what makes it special in some other way.
