Fishing game, open world adventure, gorgeous nature simulator – whatever bar you want to set for Call of the Wild: The Angler, it succeeds at meeting your criteria. Quiet but never boring, graphically beautiful, and with rich and entertaining fishing mechanics, The Angler is one of those rare games that creates a class all its own. You have never played a game like this, and it is likely rare that you have played one this good at accomplishing what it sets out to do. Highly recommended, even for those that might not think they would like fishing games.

Shacknews- Score 70 (They are very tough graders)

The Angler has a lot of soul. Every time I log in and see the (approximate) time and weather, I know exactly what spot I want to go to and what fish I’m looking for. I get excited when the conditions are just right to target that pike, and I know just the spot. The pull is there to keep me coming back. Even though it’s rough around the edges and somewhat feature-bare, you’re going to find your own spot that you don’t tell anyone about. Your own little slice of Golden Ridge heaven where you hope to one day land your Diamond.

Just to throw my 2¢ in here-

If you’re anything like me and play video games to relax and get absorbed into a different world for even a few minutes, I’m afraid Call of the Wild: The Angler is likely not the game for you. If you enjoy games that have wildlife and fishing and look really good to, Red Dead Redemption 2 (online or off) holds up very well. As does Final Fantasy XV and Sea of Thieves! In a year or so when Call of the Wild: The Angler has received more updates with content and bug fixes I can see it being a great game. The game is technically playable, but I would hesitate to call it an enjoyable experience.

No offense, but I wasn't going to include any sites that aren't added to metacritic.

Good Test and not surprising for me. This Developers are known for Bugs and the Mess that happens with DLCs.

60/100

IN THE END
The game takes time and work. And as mentioned earlier, the game is not for everyone. It’s tailor-made for people who miss fishing and would like to go to the valley of tranquility and go fishing in their free time from the working day. The release date for Call of the Wild: The Angler for PC is set for August 31, 2022 and is a must-see for any digital outdoor athlete.
