Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly love it as a chaotic co-op fishing game with horror, praised for its humour, updates and friends-play fun, though bugs and performance problems are common complaints.

Most players recommend GONE Fishing and enjoy playing it with friends: catching fish, gambling at the pool, drinking beer and surviving monsters that show up at night makes for a chaotic, funny mix. Many players single out the frequent updates and an engaged developer who reads feedback. Recent reviews are more mixed on technical quality: some players report bugs, freezes after the 1.0 release and high performance demands, and a few reviews describe the same boss fight and repetitive gameplay loop returning on every map. Several players say they would be happy to pay for cosmetic content to support the developer. Steam's overall rating remains very positive.

    A few players
Who it suits
Suits players who want a goofy, social co-op game with light horror and fishing, especially with friends.
Who should skip it
