This is as close to the life of a fisherman on the high seas as most of us will ever come!” Plan the course of your fishing career throughout the whole year – brave rain and snow while looking for the best fishing zones, all while keeping the ever watchful eye on your quotas.

By Stanislav HřibaFishing: North Atlantic is certainly not a revolution, but it is a very good evolution of the first installment, offering new fishing options and old and improved aspects from the original Fishing: Barents Sea. For new players, this is definitely a feat that is unrivalled on the market today, and if you are still hesitant about buying a fishing simulator, we can definitely recommend this title. For die-hard fans of the first installment, this is a nice improvement, and if you liked the first installment, you'll have just as much fun here. Unfortunately, the title is not without its faults, which North Atlantic copied from its older brother. Don't expect any great challenge here either, as the second sequel focuses more on relaxation and recreation. Another big minus are the mediocre textures, which were also already present in the first installment. Despite all this, this is a very good game that no fan of virtual fishing should miss.

By BrandedwolfOverall Fishing: North Atlantic should scratch any deep sea fishing simulator itch you may have. I felt the degree of difficulty was quite higher than I would have liked overall and the tutorial felt very bare-bones and could've done with more parts popping up as I acquired different gear or ships or crew, etc. I liked what I played, but felt it was made for those who enjoy harder sim type games.
