Pocket Fishing

I did not enjoy Pocket Fishing. It’s been some time since a game made me genuinely as miserable as this. Awful controls combined with bugs and glitches made this a game I can not recommend in its current state. Possibly, with some significant tweaking and optimization for the Nintendo Switch, this game may become a straightforward fishing game to enjoy in small bursts. But that’s not the game I played here.

The Switch has plenty of fishing games on offer, so there’s no need to waste your time with one as frustrating and dull as Pocket Fishing.

It is a miracle that Pocket Fishing doesn’t let you wander off out of bounds, because it is the Big Rigs of fishing games. It has very little going for it at all and it thankfully didn’t corrupt my data. Sadly, Pocket Fishing does not crash often enough and you’ll be wishing it did for the excuse to not play it anymore.

While it has gear and locations to use and explore… what it lacks is compelling fishing action
