IMPORTANT: Update of the updated review

Ok, finally the game is playable (and they introduced new contents and boats), but still a bit overpriced.
But this are the only devs that work on this specific type of sims game, so I would really like to see a new game of this series :)

IMPORTANT: Updated review

When I said that this game could become great after some polishing I really mean that...
In the current status, it's simply an unacceptable and confusing mess of wrong new ideas and good old ideas.
The previous version of the series was, simply, SO MUCH BETTER!!!
All the new mechanics are terrible: the sonar system (never worked correctly and unrealistic, AS SONAR CHECKS MASS, NOT "PRESENCE OF SOMETHING").
The Scallops DLC is so boring with the current mechanic, that you just pass your time WAITING... WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING.
SAME for the Lobster fishing...
SAME for the Crab fishing...
I mean, I will detail all this game issues on a post on the forum, JUST HOPING THEY WILL CHANGE THINGS IN THE FUTURE OR HIRE A DECENT GAME DESIGNER, A REAL ONE.
I mean, DO THEY PLAY THEIR GAME??? Is a mess, a terrible and sad unfunny mess.

--------


If you liked Fishing: Barents Sea, this would come to be a quite improved version.
For now, I found some major bugs in the past week, but now it seems it will be only a question of smoothing the gameplay and some graphical glitches.
I have faith in this team because they really worked on their previous title and they are doing the same also for this title.
For now, a 7 on 10, but I expect the score to raise around and pass 8.
