Fishing Barents Sea Review
I wanted a fishing/crabbing game to fill the void of Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm for a long time. I was one of the few people that really enjoyed that game. Fishing: Barents Sea did a very good job of filling that void.
Fishing: Barents Sea is a commercial fisher based on longline, net, and trawling both Pelagic and Bottom. It does have a Crabbing DLC but with no additional achievements I doubt I’ll buy.
Good array of boats, starting from a little handed down single crew fishing boat up to giant multi crew trawlers. The first person mode and being able to walk around your ship is great. However I wish you could interact more with the ship in this mode.
Relaxing gameplay and nice suitable music.
The graphics are nice and the water effects are very good with nice swells in stormy weather etc. The longline/net catching and gutting mechanics are quite refreshing and different
The only real issue I have is game longevity and ease. Everything was over so quick, as a bit of an achievement hunter I do like a long term achievement, I’m not one of this instant gratification types who play Zup! to get 1000 achievements in 10 minutes but I do like the harder time consuming achievement as a target to grind towards. The catch 1000 tonnes of Mackerel sounds intimidating but I achieved that in 3 Trawler runs and 100 percented the game in 26 hours. I am aware the game does not really end and you can play for the leader boards in sandbox.
I wish the achievements were harder and took more time to achieve and I wish there was more elements of danger and random events, like Alaskan Storm.
I think this is a good game made by a small studio and they deserve props for it. I look forward to what they do in the future!
