Catching new kinds of fish should be exciting but sadly start to feel really repetitive way too fast. Each type of fish has its own ‘catch-preferences’ which all can be found in the game. What matters most is the different gear you can buy. And to be honest, once the line is cast and you look at the fishes, the location doesn’t really matter anymore. Different locations could also mean the same location but now frozen over or in a boat on the same lake. Different locations offer different types of fish. You could be fine with just a little bit of casual fishing on the first accessible lake but after a while, you’ll want to expand. Experience can be used to unlock all different types of traits which also aids you a lot in your journey to catch every fish possible. Selling the fish you’ve caught will be the way to earn money but releasing them will grant you experience. Getting to new locations and buying the different gear you’ll need to catch other types of fish will come at a price. Each location features a few types of fish for you to catch. The aim of Ultimate Fishing Simulator is obviously to catch as much fish as possible.

The first type of fish you’ll catch won’t really give you much trouble but some harder to catch fish will surely do. Yanking too hard could break the line en let the fish escape which is obviously not ideal. When reeling the fish an indicator shows how much the fish is still pulling the line. The fish won’t just go down without a fight. If you yank your fishing rod and hook the fish, you still have some work to do. Once your fishing float starts to move, get ready to reel in the fish. After finding your spot and casting your line the actual fishing begins. The game proposes a few obvious spots on a map but you can also walk around freely to choose your own special spot. Finding the best fishing spots and trying out how far you should cast your fishing line can make a big difference in your success rate. You’ll start out at a basic lake populated with common trouts. You cast your line in different locations to catch all sorts of fish. You might’ve expected it already but in Ultimate Fishing Simulator you go fishing. With Ultimate Fishing Simulator on Nintendo Switch I can go fishing virtually and leave much of the hassle behind.

I went fishing a few times with my dad when I was young and liked the thrill of catching fish but hated the hassle of having to get the hook out of the fish.
