FUGLY FISHER HAS NO PLAICE IN YOUR COLLECTION.
Though we’ve never tried our hand at cardiovascular surgery, we’re pretty sure it’s easier to master than real-life fishing. One member of Team oXM spent his birthday this past June trying to catch brown trout in the teeming rain of the Scottish Highlands, and the resulting six, soaked (trout-free) hours scarred his soul forever. Annoyingly, landing a fishy in this thoroughly unwelcoming bass-snagging sim is almost as tricky.
Dovetail Games specialises in hardcore sims – see this year’s Train Sim World – so it’s no shocker its take on virtual angling is unapologetically challenging. Yet where the studio’s choo-choo adventure had a perversely endearing quality in spite of its pofaced subject matter, Fishing Sim World is just flat-out boring.
