Most helpful, against the game
The game is such a chore to play. You are tasked with getting different fish, sell them for upgrades for more efficient fishing, complete quests to get special abilities and progress the story a bit. That's it. I have no problem with the gameplay, but I absolutely despise the type of game that demands you to look for guides outside of game to even start playing. You see a fish that you are supposed to look for. The game tells you that you can check your encyclopedia for detailed info, but there is no search function whatsoever, so you either go through pages after pages to look for whatever fish the quest demands, or you have to look it up online. Even if you have the patience to stick only to the in-game encyclopedia, there are species that only appear in different time and depth with specific equipment. So either you go trial-and-error and waste your time, or you just look it up online. Explore the game without external help makes the game drag so long, and the repetitive gameplay doesn't make the process any more pleasant. In around mid-late part of the story after I have upgraded everything to the highest level and have all the equipment available to me, I simply begged the game to end at that point. Having to constantly alt-tab all the time after seeing any new request drained my patience at an aggravating pace. Playing this game is like doing a chore with an conspicuously inefficient tool. A simple "search" function in the in-game encyclopedia would have improved the experience by a significant amount. I wouldn't even mind if the encyclopedia was already fully unlocked at the beginning, making me look forward to new exotic or valuable species, but there is none. I dislike this game. The story is minimum. The fishing gameplay basically exists just to make you feel you are doing barely something. The art style is the only aspect I have nothing to complain. The music and atmosphere is both relaxing and stressful in the beginning, but the novelty wears off very fast, as the pressure and danger at night loses any sense of significance after some upgrades. The only challenge for this game is just the patience or self-control to not look up guides online. This game is but an endurance test for boredom and repetition.
