The Fisherman Fishing Planet

SCORE: 85

I am so appreciative that Family Friendly Gaming was given a copy of The Fisherman Fishing Planet on the Xbox One. We were provided the digital downloadable version of The Fisherman Fishing Planet that clocked in at 8.62 gigs. Thankfully this PC, PS4, and Xbox One video game is available in the respected and honored physical copy version as well (editor: on the consoles).

There are 143 species of fish, nineteen locations, and over one thousand tackles in The Fisherman Fishing Planet. We have four different fishing techniques we can do in The Fisherman Fishing Planet. This fishing based video game includes single player and co-op competitions. The Fisherman Fishing Planet looks good, sounds good, and has easy to learn controls. I like fishing in The Fisherman Fishing Planet.

There is one major flaw in The Fisherman Fishing Planet that stops it from being one of the greatest video games of all time. What is that major flaw? We must stay connected to the Internet to play The Fisherman Fishing Planet at all times. What about those of us who do not have an Internet connection? What happens in the future when those servers are shut down? We lose our game. I still play retro sports games on retro systems from decades ago. This really hurts The Fisherman Fishing Planet.

A little quibble I have with The Fisherman Fishing Planet is the one sided contract of the user agreement. We are not allowed any say, legal rights, or anything with our own properties that we purchased. This is a blatant violation of consumer rights. Sadly the control freak nature of the video game industry has sunk deeper into this illegal activity. I keep waiting for a class action law suit to expose these illegal agreements.

The Fisherman Fishing Planet sounds like we are out in nature. Which means it can be quiet at times. We catch fish, make money, and buy gear. We must also buy bait in The Fisherman Fishing Planet. There are a variety of missions we must complete in The Fisherman Fishing Planet. Players gain experience and money as they catch fish. I had fun playing The Fisherman Fishing Planet.

Waiting on fish in The Fisherman Fishing Planet is usually not that long. It can get boring waiting for a bit. Players need to be aware of things like travel costs. The tutorial in The Fisherman Fishing Planet is fantastic. I really enjoyed how this game taught me to play it. I hope to see sequels that embrace offline gaming in the near future.
