Call of the Wild: The Angler™ Reviews

Little buggy but over its great if you like fishing

This game is far from perfect, but I have enjoyed it, mostly for the feeling of freedom of exploration in finding your own fishing spots in huge maps. I am however leaving a negative review based on the fact that the devs never implemented a trolling motor or a depth finder before abandoning the game. If they had added these 2 things, I would have thought, okay the game had a good run, it's fine. But knowing that we will never get the trolling motor or depth finder really irks me bc it will forever feel incomplete. *Worth noting, I have around 150 hours on the PS5 version of the game too, so my hours here are not reflective of my actual time spent with the game.

Simplified fishing mechanics, feels very basic and incomplete - now abandoned by the devs.

dont know why people tell they dropped the game yeah they stopped devellopment but there still updates/fixes that get out game is fun and i dindt come across any game breaking bug.... for 15$ on rebate you get a whole lot more then a 45$ pack in fishing planet

game is no longer supported so if you want to play only do so at a steep discount the game is fun to play but still has many bugs and is not worth the price tag any longer pick it up for maybe 5 bucks

Played from day 1 till around the second Dlc, The game was amazing till a lot of bugs started to appear. I used to play at steady 60fps maxed on my first setup (a 1650, i5 11400F, 16gb Ram), till around the second DLC dropped, I would get big frame drops (150fps to 5fps on my current pc set up) id also start moving in game without any human input which would switch from running forwards to backwords, every update seemed to fix something a little and break something more. I thought id wait it out for a fix......a Long while passed till now to find out the game has been abandoned , decided to see if they at least left behind a working game (was not hopeful after seeing other recent reviews) even today with a 4070 super, Ryzen 5 5500, 16gb ram the game is still unplayable, I want to be able to recommend with the amount of good times i'd had playing early on but i would say play another fishing game, fishing sim world ,Russian fishing 4 etc will provide much more enjoyment especially with friends........very sad state to leave this game in.......

In spite of the developers shutting down further Development of the game, it is still amazing! Its worth your time if you can get into it!

I have played this game ever since it became steam deck verified. For a while it was my favorite game on the deck as it did not require much attention and you could just throw out your bait and have the Deck sitting next to you like a rod waiting for a fish to bite. Was something different. That it was abandoned just about 3 month after the last DLC was released is not acceptable to me. While they claim right now that the live service, which is needed to catch legendary fish, will stay active, I personally have lost trust. I`d rather pack up my things now. Disappointed. Wont buy from this publisher again. Devs were cool tho. Good luck to you guys.

Thought this would be a fun game but it's not.. Fishing planet is free and way better than this garbage!

I really enjoyed this game. You won't find a fishing game that isn't a bit janky, but the environments are beautiful and fun to find spots in. The Fishing was fun and it looks great! However, the publisher pulled the rug out from under everyone. I have no idea how long multiplayer support will last, and it takes all the fun out of the experience. It makes me extremely hesitant to play anything else from this publisher.
