2023’s biggest surprise is far more than just a fishing sim, once you dive below the surface.

    Between this and Dredge, it has been a wonderful year for the Deck.

      While you’ll pay a premium for it, it is perfect for a controller and short burst gaming. Its worth it if you can’t wait though.

        yea thanks that’s my thinking. i hate being tied to desktop for certain games. i don’t have a steamdeck so I’ll have to wait for the switch where they’ll probably charge me double for the convenience lol

          I’m not sure if they are still around but you used to be able the get a steam link and a Bluetooth controller and play games in your living room if you wanted to

            They discontinued em. At one point they sold their remaining stock for a dollar each I think

            The hardware isn’t anymore. I bought a second for dirt cheap when they decided to end it. They still make updates though. The replacement is a cell phone app.

          Man, but the steam deck really is a solid purchase.

          I have a sweet gaming rig but I haven’t openedva game on it since I got my deck.

          You could use the Steam link app on your phone and basically any Bluetooth controller.

    It really is a charming game. I think this article does a good job describing some of is delights. What really struck me though is that the main mechanics are things that you’d find in a leechy freemium mobile game. But they’re layered in complimentary loops that make the whole FAR more than the sum of it’s parts.

      Funny you say that, it actually started AS a mobile game. Then they changed directions, but you’re right you can still feel some of it still in there.

    This game is so much fun. It has no right being as fun as it is. My favorite casual game in absolute ages.
