Epic NPC Man Nice Day for Fishing Steam Charts & Stats

Ah! Hello adventurer, and welcome to my review! Nice Day for Fishing is- (SKIP) In this game you play as Baelin and have to save Honeywood by- (SKIP) Along the way you'll encounter many of your favorite Epic NPC Characters, like Bodger, Baradun, and me Gre- (SKIP) There are all kinds of fish to catch, rods and other equipm- (SKIP) Okay you know what adventurer? I'm not doing this review anymore. You figure it out for yourself.

I want to like this game because I love VLDL but this is just fetch quests and fishing "mini game" and after just one hour im already bored out of my mind. this game could use WAY more voice acting and actually immersive and interactive quests, not just "get this, get that". Boss fights are uninspired and are basically the same fishing mechanic. In a way it feels like they took all the bad mechanics and boring/tedious content they made fun of in epic npc man as the formula for this game, which feels insulting to the people who bought it, expecting the exact opposite. It's as if none of them had actually played the game before releasing it, which I'm sure is not the case, and so it makes me wonder if they (VLDL) are just biased because they were involved in making it and are proud of it and the work behind it AND just got good reception because of bias from fans of the channel who support them, and not from people who actually wanted a game. Look, unless you wanna buy it for nostalgia and to support them (if they even get a substantial cut from the sales), I advise you to stay away from this game, it would just feel like a waste of time, and I hate saying that because I really do love everything else about VLDL. EDIT: Hey, just wanted to respond to some of your comments. I wanted to make it a comment, but it ended up too long, so if you're reading the review feel free to ignore everything below. Before I start, I want to say that before even posting this review I sat and watched later gameplay from where I stopped playing all the way to end game, so it was not based on just the first hour I have experienced. Believe me when I say I wanted to be wrong, I wanted to find something to change my mind, and I couldn't. And besides, in my opinion, I do still believe a game should have some sort of hook, some sort of aha moment, that gives you a feeling that there is more in it very early on. this game does not have that and loses the player fast if they're not extremely patient or have a lot of time to play, which most people do not have (That is pretty much my response to JinBeau, and IchigoMait's second comment). To Greencheek, if you'd like to actually say something meaningful, I'd love to hear it, and fyi, I'm 21, which is not old, but old enough to have a credible opinion on video games, I think, as I have been playing them for about 16 years now. To Xaviersxmen, putting a monetary value to video games is difficult. If the game pulls you in, and you play it to or close to completion and enjoy it, I believe it could be worth it, but generally they should be reasonably priced, and adjusted to other games from the same genre in the market (a game obviously shouldn't cost more than what the average person makes in a week, that would be insane (about 370$ a week is the GLOBAL average if converted to USD, according to google)). To Baby Carrot, I looked it up, and it looks interesting, I'll try it sometime. To IchigoMait's first comment, I dont think fishing as the core concept of the game is a bad thing, if it offers more than just press one button, okay now press this button. The platforming part of the game is something, but it is simply put too little, too late into the game. To Bitfire, The devs obviously have played it. I was talking about VLDL when I said it doesn't make sense to me that they (again, VLDL, not the dev team) have played it and didn't see the obvious flaws they themselves have pointed out in old videos about games like this one. Feel free to skip the paragraph below, it is a list of some of the games I have played throughout the years from my memory on many different platforms and accounts, and although not comperhensive it could give you some kind of idea for what kind of player I am. Minecraft, Rumble VR, Beatsaber VR, Battlefield (earlier ones), This War of Mine, Alien Isolation, Little Nightmares, Rocket League, Guild Wars 2, Overwatch, Elden Ring, Warframe, Stardew Valley, Red Dead Redemption, Hades, The Metro Series, Dayz, Farcry 3, Deep Rock Galactic, The Stanley Parable, Garrys Mod, Xcom 2, Rimworld, Factorio, Unturned, Arma 3, Squad, Payday 2, Door Kickers 2, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Cyberpunk 2077, Detroit: Become Human, Team Fortress 2, Titanfall 2, A Way Out, For The King, Sifu, Planet Zoo, Tactical Breach Wizards, Inscryption, GTA V, Smite, COD(too many to count), Counter Strike(all of them), and the list goes on and on, this is nothing compared to the actual amount. The point I am trying to make is that I don't discriminate, I try everything that looks interesting to me when I have the money and time to put into it, regardless of genre, and always try to enjoy the positive and ignore the negative, to a point. Appreciate your opinions.

Big fan of VLDL, was very excited for this to come out and have not been disappointed. I find it simple but challenging, and haven't experienced any bugs or issues at all. Looking forward to continuing Baelin's journey as an adventurer

It took me 12 hours to fully beat the game, and I'm not far from 100 percenting it. The game is exactly what Epic NPC Man has led me to believe this game is. Escort and Fetch quests for days. If you buy this game, this is what you should expect. It's not fun, there are a few great VLDL references and the NPC's act exactly how you would expect from Youtube. Please do not expect fun, just expect a few good references, a laugh here and there, and a great day for fishing. Hu Ha!

I love Viva La Dirt League! but this game ? not so much. i get what they were aiming for but the repeat of the quests just got abit too much and overused. i don't regret my purchase of this game, i want to support them! but i was hoping for them to do something more with it instead of doing what other companies do and take 1 good idea and milk it for all its worth. would have liked propper voicelines ;)

its a great game, it has a lot of quests and storyline progression. I am considering actually telling my friends and family about this game, but there is a slight issue. I dont know if this was a user error or not, but i lost my save file. i was about to go into the mines later so i quit the game and there isnt a continue selection anymore, my progress was reset

Had a great deal of fun playing it, however learned the hard way that there is no auto save feature. I feel like a fool as I went to the exit menu to find the save option, only to find myself at the main menu with no active save. Deeply disappointing in the lack of an automatic save or even a "Save and Quit" option on that menu. Other than that I have had a great time for the 3 hours I have played it so far. This is ONLY a negative review so as to get the feature above added into their work flow. I'll change it to a positive review after a bit. Appreciate the rapid response from the Dev team. Yet another reason for it to be recommended. Following the review update from above. I have found out that the dev team was ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. It was a bug that specifically greyed out the continue game. On a lark I booted back into the game and the continue button has been added. So the save function / auto save function is not at fault here, merely a one off failure to be able to select the continue button that was remedied on reboot. Thank you heaps for the update as I don't know how long it would have taken for me to boot the game up again without your update.

It is a great game, not so tedious and not so boring. Tip. Always pick a garlic on the ground. Morning. Nice day for fishing, ain't it? Huh-hah!

Viva La Dirt League made a game and my adventurer heart can't handle it. They have take some of the best bits of there sketches - awkward dialogue loops, pointless fetch quests and of course Baelin's Route and turned it into a fever dream. Seeing my favourite YouTubers go from sketch comedy kings to creators of an actual game is amazing. You have rolled a nat 20 and summoned perfection. Viva La Dirt League, you've officially leveled up. GG

Absolutely a cute lil fishing game but a true review In summary, it's a great "no thinking" game for people wanting to just unwind and just do some things. If you don't know Viva La Dirt League nor want something simple, you will most certainly *not* find amazement here. but you will find casual fun for sure Pros - - the upgrade system is consistent - the humor (which is self aware of famous/popular mmorps) is on point - the length is a bit on the longer side but matches unlocks and only gets a little bit tedious towards the end - Balarun is a dick - Viva La Dirt League Cons - - the gameplay is definitely shallow - it's a game about fishing for real - Fetch quests - that's the game. there are plenty of rewards for doing so, but towards the end it's a minor slog - zero end game content in essence, I personally bought the game to support my bois at VLDL and I don't regret it. The game is super fine, especially for a first run at making something, and I enjoyed it. It wasn't anything spectacular or groundbreaking but it *was* fun and occupied some hours. I moderately recommend if you're into this type of game and far more if you watch and love the channel
