Hi developers!!! Just 2 bugs I detected Bug1 I play 'Euro Fishing' with XBOX 360 controller on PC. All works fine but the Sticks can't move quick the rod. When I fish with float I can't set the hook on the fish. It's imposible to make quick movements with the rod. Bug 2 When you are fishing a fish (the hook is set on the fish and also you are reeling the line), if you open the rod selector.
Great game, lost of fun if you are into the whole fishing thing like I am. Great visual graphics and sounds. Just a few things I would Great game, lost of fun if you are into the whole fishing thing like I am. Great visual graphics and sounds.
Just a few things I would add/change to make it a more immersive experience. First I would add a wider variety of fish and locations. Also when you pick your Peg to fish from it has several items that that can not be used. I think it would be great to be able to sit down in the chair and the tackle box should let you change your gear to anything you bought, instead of going out to the main screen and having to only pick three hooks, bait, ect. All in all the game it's self is a lot of fun. 'Welcome to the great indoors!'
The air might not be as fresh, but the digital water is unpolluted and the weather is selectable. And you 'Welcome to the great indoors!' The air might not be as fresh, but the digital water is unpolluted and the weather is selectable. And you won't be sitting all day without a bite! Not in this game!! A little history: As a youngster, I use to go fishing with my dad. So I know a thing or two about real fishing.
I've also played a few fishing games, but aside from Fishing Simulator on the PC, none of them captured the true magic of real angling. Until now, that is. Now let me first say that fishing games are far from my favourite type of game. It's just that I've always wanted one for 2 reasons.
When I want to play something relaxing between other games and when I want to fish in an online multiplayer match. Something I never got around to doing with said Fishing Simulator. So here we are today with a spanky new fishing game on the Xbox One ( is that a chorus of angels I hear singing sweetly? And I can tell you straight off the mark, this game does have that addictive quality that will keep you at the waterside in search of that record breaking fish. Esp if it's one the named fish! All whilst gaining experience points to purchase some new tackle to do so. It's all so strangely life like, sitting there waiting for a bite.
I think they actually captured the spirit of it all. The line, in particular, is impressive from a technical point of view. And when it's taught and your rod is bending over some troublesome Tench on a light line, you can almost believe you're actually fishing!
There's a Great White in the water. Not everything is perfect. Did I mention the manual casting? ( luckily there's a friendly alternative ).
It's nigh on impossible to master. It's so bad ( unless I'm just crap at it ) I've had to book a few appointments with a local psychiatrist just to get over the frustration that still haunts me.
It's THAT bad. Other than that though. It's a fantastic fishing game. The BEST so far. None of that underwater garbage, where you're viewing the fish swimming about.
You're on the bank, where it's dry, like a real fisherman. And you don't know what you've snagged until you've played it out and reeled it in. This ain't no scuba diver simulator. And I'm looking forward to meeting you all online. Where we can chat about life, games and how lucky the guy/gal who's on top of the leader board is. So leave your friends and loved ones a BIG sign 'GONE FISHING' cos you're gonna be hooked!:) Expand.
The Xbox 360 had a pretty good selection of fishing games; one of my favourites being Bass Pro Shops: The Strike. Seeing as this is the only The Xbox 360 had a pretty good selection of fishing games; one of my favourites being Bass Pro Shops: The Strike. Seeing as this is the only fishing game available on the Xbox One console, and that this game was on special for $9.99, I had to pick it up. What we get here is a realistic fishing game, not so much a simulation though.
European fishing is different than American fishing in that you're allowed using three fishing rods at once. There are no boats in this game either, the lakes are very small. You can modify and customize your tackle box before fishing, and then you walk around until you find a desired location, and from there get your fish-on. There's a terrific tutorial that gives you the very basics of the game, with some pretty good voice acting too. I was legitimately excited to start fishing on my own. Not before long, you're fishing on your own and competing in tournaments.
These can be quite enjoyable to play, and definitely challenging. Selecting which different types of baits, hooks, areas of the lake, etc.
All of these play a major factor in the game. It's quite easy to catch a random fish, but it's difficult to catch a specific fish and stay consistent. A few things REALLY disappointed me in the game though. Graphically, this game on consoles is ugly to look at. Sure, the environments can be lush with greenery, and at times the game can look beautiful, but the framerate is locked at 30fps, and at times actually lowers. There's also a LOT of pop-in and visual glitches. Another thing is the water itself.
The water is very basic, and looks last gen (even The Strike on Xbox 360 had better looking water effects). Hardly any reflections, the water's very muddy/murky, not very detailed, there's a complete lack of water physics, etc.
Seeing as this is a fishing game, I expected much, much more. The fish are rendered well, but given that this is an Xbox One title, I would've liked to see a bit more detail. Some of the textures are very low. The multiplayer experience from what I've played can be extremely laggy too. Walking from one location to another is just a series of teleporting. Overall though, seeing as this is the only fishing game on Xbox One, I'd recommend it to any fishers/fishing-game fans. The gameplay is terrific, it it has some major rough edges.

Price: £14.99Dovetail Games Euro Fishing is one of those games that gets your curiosity going, having dabbled in a bit of fishing in real life I was eager to see how it compared. Now I’m no John Wilson or Rex Hunt etc. But I do know my way around a rod. To be honest I wasn’t sure what to expect when first going in as the only other fishing game I’ve played is SEGA Bass Fishing, which in comparison is much more of an ‘Arcade’ game. Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised at what Dovetail Games Euro Fishing has to offer.I did expect to be thrown in at the deep end (no pun intended) as you are presented with a lot of different tabs and options on the main menu, taking a minute or two to familiarise yourself with what’s there and you’ll be set. I do advise taking the time to play the tutorial.
It is very informative, yet easy enough to understand for novice players.Speaking of which, dovetail Games have put two methods of casting in the game. ‘Total Control’ and ‘Basic’ giving players the choice of how they want to play, more experienced players will prefer the total control casting which, as the name suggests gives you full control of the power and distance of your cast. This is a bit of a tricky control system as it is all about timing, which newcomers may struggle to get the hang of. While basic casting is a case of readying your rod, then setting the power of the cast with an on screen power bar. A lot simpler, and is great for those that may be put off using total control.
Again ideal for newcomers and younger players.On to the gameplay, and I can’t quite believe how much of an enjoyable experience it is to play, it is slow paced, as you would expect a fishing game to be. Yet it is not boring as some would think. There’s this element of wanting to get that next fish that’s bigger than the last one you caught, or even in a multiplayer game with your friends, being the one that caught the biggest fish. There’s enough competitiveness there to keep you interested, yet at the same time it’s still very relaxed. Plus a multitude of options to change time of day weather etc.
If you’re playing in freedom fishing mode.You start out with a basic setup, enough to get you catching fish up to around 10lbs, and as you do catch fish, you level up your character and earn TP, which in turn can be used to purchase new equipment, rods, reels, lines and bait etc. Which you can put together how you please, and set up different tackle boxes. Enabling you to go for big/small fish and/or specific species of fish, (of which there’s Bream, Tench, Roach, Catfish and Common, Mirror, Leather Carp), across five different lakes. Using either bottom fishing or float fishing. There’s also specimen and boss fish to chase down too.It would have been nice to have seen some other fish, fishing methods and maybe a river or two, but nevertheless there’s still enough content to keep players happy. There were a few glitches I encountered whilst playing, one quite funny, where some large fish can be seen “doing head stands” with their tails sticking 2 feet out of the water. Another being a little more frustrating in which fish swim into the bank while you are reeling them in, clip through the bank, and then teleport across the lake instantly snapping the line.
Again these happen rarely, but are worth mentioning. Game modes include single/multiplayer tournaments and (as mentioned above) freedom fishing. Tournaments are played against other players online, and against A.I. In single player, with the objective being to score the most points within a set time limit.

Freedom fishing is just that, you can select where you want to spawn on each lake and are free to walk around casting from anywhere along the bank using a single rod, or choose to set up on one of the many pegs where you can have up to 3 rods out. Single player also features a challenge mode, where you have to cast in to ‘targets’ on the lake to score points within a set time limit.Visually Euro Fishing has what I would say a ‘typical simulator look’, with the overall surroundings being basic where the most effort has gone in to the visuals of the lake and fish, much like how farming simulator’s visual efforts are put into the machinery. The focus is on the main stuff in the game. Which I find acceptable as you’ll be spending the majority of your time watching the lake as it shimmers and ripples, and admiring your latest catch. Not inspecting the 2D blades of grass behind you. The audio is pretty spot on, not really much to say other than Dovetail have captured the sounds of the countryside superbly.
