Ah! Hello adventurer, and welcome to my review! Nice Day for Fishing is- (SKIP) In this game you play as Baelin and have to save Honeywood by- (SKIP) Along the way you'll encounter many of your favorite Epic NPC Characters, like Bodger, Baradun, and me Gre- (SKIP) There are all kinds of fish to catch, rods and other equipm- (SKIP) Okay you know what adventurer? I'm not doing this review anymore. You figure it out for yourself.

So sad that From software will go bankrupt from releasing nightreign 6 hours after this masterpiece.

If there's one thing this game has taught me, It's that if you have a problem, Shouting "PORTAL AWWAYYYYYYYY" and running away solves it... I think that's the takeaway.

Get 3 of this. Get 3 of that. But first let me get that fancy hat. Of course the hat costs money. The game is really quite funny. Would you mind getting 4 wood asks Eugene Without it, things could get really mean. Greg is stopping me and wants me to get 5 bass. Boy this is a pain in the ass. Now, the goblin needs 3 trout. But I can't do that because Fred the merchant will pout. His wife Freda thinks he doesn't sell good merch. Now she wants 5 perch. But to do that I need a new pole. All this fetching is really taking a toll. Bodger wants to help but he needs his hammer. So off I go, but suddenly Baradun starts to yammer. If I get asked to do one more fetch I think I am going to retch. Nice day for Fishing seemed like it would be fun But I really just want to be done.

The idea of the game is fun and original, dialoges are funny, visuals are nice. But the gameplay is just dull... its all just a bunch of quests to "bring this get that" and it gets old very quickly. The mechanics of fishing are interesting but personaly it also gets a bit too repetitive.

I want to like this game because I love VLDL but this is just fetch quests and fishing "mini game" and after just one hour im already bored out of my mind. this game could use WAY more voice acting and actually immersive and interactive quests, not just "get this, get that". Boss fights are uninspired and are basically the same fishing mechanic. In a way it feels like they took all the bad mechanics and boring/tedious content they made fun of in epic npc man as the formula for this game, which feels insulting to the people who bought it, expecting the exact opposite. It's as if none of them had actually played the game before releasing it, which I'm sure is not the case, and so it makes me wonder if they (VLDL) are just biased because they were involved in making it and are proud of it and the work behind it AND just got good reception because of bias from fans of the channel who support them, and not from people who actually wanted a game. Look, unless you wanna buy it for nostalgia and to support them (if they even get a substantial cut from the sales), I advise you to stay away from this game, it would just feel like a waste of time, and I hate saying that because I really do love everything else about VLDL. EDIT: Hey, just wanted to respond to some of your comments. I wanted to make it a comment, but it ended up too long, so if you're reading the review feel free to ignore everything below. Before I start, I want to say that before even posting this review I sat and watched later gameplay from where I stopped playing all the way to end game, so it was not based on just the first hour I have experienced. Believe me when I say I wanted to be wrong, I wanted to find something to change my mind, and I couldn't. And besides, in my opinion, I do still believe a game should have some sort of hook, some sort of aha moment, that gives you a feeling that there is more in it very early on. this game does not have that and loses the player fast if they're not extremely patient or have a lot of time to play, which most people do not have (That is pretty much my response to JinBeau, and IchigoMait's second comment). To Greencheek, if you'd like to actually say something meaningful, I'd love to hear it, and fyi, I'm 21, which is not old, but old enough to have a credible opinion on video games, I think, as I have been playing them for about 16 years now. To Xaviersxmen, putting a monetary value to video games is difficult. If the game pulls you in, and you play it to or close to completion and enjoy it, I believe it could be worth it, but generally they should be reasonably priced, and adjusted to other games from the same genre in the market (a game obviously shouldn't cost more than what the average person makes in a week, that would be insane (about 370$ a week is the GLOBAL average if converted to USD, according to google)). To Baby Carrot, I looked it up, and it looks interesting, I'll try it sometime. To IchigoMait's first comment, I dont think fishing as the core concept of the game is a bad thing, if it offers more than just press one button, okay now press this button. The platforming part of the game is something, but it is simply put too little, too late into the game. To Bitfire, The devs obviously have played it. I was talking about VLDL when I said it doesn't make sense to me that they (again, VLDL, not the dev team) have played it and didn't see the obvious flaws they themselves have pointed out in old videos about games like this one. Feel free to skip the paragraph below, it is a list of some of the games I have played throughout the years from my memory on many different platforms and accounts, and although not comperhensive it could give you some kind of idea for what kind of player I am. Minecraft, Rumble VR, Beatsaber VR, Battlefield (earlier ones), This War of Mine, Alien Isolation, Little Nightmares, Rocket League, Guild Wars 2, Overwatch, Elden Ring, Warframe, Stardew Valley, Red Dead Redemption, Hades, The Metro Series, Dayz, Farcry 3, Deep Rock Galactic, The Stanley Parable, Garrys Mod, Xcom 2, Rimworld, Factorio, Unturned, Arma 3, Squad, Payday 2, Door Kickers 2, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Cyberpunk 2077, Detroit: Become Human, Team Fortress 2, Titanfall 2, A Way Out, For The King, Sifu, Planet Zoo, Tactical Breach Wizards, Inscryption, GTA V, Smite, COD(too many to count), Counter Strike(all of them), and the list goes on and on, this is nothing compared to the actual amount. The point I am trying to make is that I don't discriminate, I try everything that looks interesting to me when I have the money and time to put into it, regardless of genre, and always try to enjoy the positive and ignore the negative, to a point. Appreciate your opinions.

To start, I am 10 years old, and i feel that this game is one of the best games i have ever played. It has a wonderful story line all npcs have a roll to play in the story line, i also feel that this game is vary connected to the show "EPIC NPC MAN" (it is a wonderful show 10\10) and as you are playing, you feel happy to be helping the town of Honeywood, all that set aside i rate this game a 10\10 i want all of you reading this to get this game, because it is wonderful.

It is a great game, not so tedious and not so boring. Tip. Always pick a garlic on the ground. Morning. Nice day for fishing, ain't it? Huh-hah!

Its pretty frustratingly linear. hard fish are too hard, explanations of spells and equipment don't describe how they impact the game. bosses are really just hard for the sake of being hard. constant farming going back and forth between areas to find resources to progress. its a game of memorization of where resources are located. no descriptions on maps, or fish collected. i love VLDL but the frustration level of this game for a casual gamer is ridiculous. not to mention its 16 bit graphics emulation is running my 4090 at max. Again love VLDL, they could have done better. Was hoping for something that made me LOL or cringe, got neither.

Its a game about Baelin! Including all the epic npc npc's... Baradun, Bodger, Fred, The Muggers, some garlic farmer... Gary or something?

Not worth the price. You unlock portals to tp to the beach and mines too late, so you spend sooooo much time walking from a to b, also it's annoying having to farm resources over and over, I wish there was an insta pull for boxes or other ways to get them, it's not challenging, just a waste of time. The game itself is a meh. If you like fishing games I'd recommend Sea Fantasy.

The humor is decent, and there's nothing wrong with the gameplay, but there is just a massive amount of fetch questing and uninteresting backtracking.

I picked up this game because I thought it looked charming and it'd support a group of creators I enjoy to boot, The game was so close to being good, it just needed some more time in the oven and some more polish but instead its incredibly tedious and clunky. The items stats ALMOST let you do some fun things but not quite, The sound design is on point and the visuals are very charming. The insane amount of stuttering, less so. In the later fights it's so difficult to parry at times simply because the micro stutters. I'm sure with just a little bit of polish it could run buttery smooth but alas it was not polished to shine. Now the price doesn't bother me because I wanted to support the creators but if we're talking about what I'd recommend the price threshold to pick up the game... 10$. That's the most I'd have spent if this was made by anyone else. If the game gets polished up it's a good 7/10 but as it is.... it gets a 4/10, It drags on for the last leg of the game and gets rather tedious. Also there's a platforming section with wind mechanics in my fishing game and you can eat my whole ass for that. Others have also said it but the lack of options is also a problem. Final verdict: Till it gets polished I'd pass on it unless you want to support the creators or it goes on sale. It's cute but far too rough and tedious for me to reccomend at 20$.

A first look, that came with a free rant at the end! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTbmUYjELW0 I hate to be that A-hole because I do want to give it a thumbs up, but I hope the thumbs down draws the publisher and dev team's attention to the issue of the flashing and harsh white lights. It made me sick as can be, and it amazes, and maybe a little angers, me that there is no accessibility option to turn that off, or any others for that matter. After briefly trying the demo, stupidly enough, late evening when it was already dark, so the flashing had an even bigger impact than today during daytime, I contacted Team17 about this before release. They were very understanding and kind. They said they would pass it on but couldn't guarantee a change pre-release, which, in my opinion, is fair! But it's also a little odd that no one took a moment during development to say, "Hey, what about this or that, and can it cause an issue for some people out there?" There is not even a basic big warning at the beginning of the game saying, "Hey, harsh white stuff light. If you level too much, it flashes, it may impact you." Nothing? At all. Oof... Still, for now, I'm restricted from playing as it just makes me sick and iffy, and let's be honest, only being able to play this one in small bursts of 10-30 minutes, due to something so stupid, isn't fun either. I'll be keeping an eye out for updates and rooting very hard. Because I do mean when I say I like the game. I like the little silly send me from here to their quests and how we combat the fish, despite me being really stinky at it, and fishing up treasure chests (probably my favourite part, gimme that delicious loot!) And the story is kind of cool so far, too, heh. Who would've thought a simple fisherman would become the hero? Well, maybe, since I haven't reached the end, and for all I know, there is this weird plot twist or something. Hopefully, one day, I'll find out. So, for now, it is down. With some improvement and accessibility, I'd happily dive back in, change my thumb to a big, good ol’ blue upper, and most likely write a more proper review than this.

It was very linear and repetitive(run all the way to the right, then all the way left, then back and forth over and over). It was fun for the first hour or so due seeing these characters in a game, but its a bit shallow.

It took me 12 hours to fully beat the game, and I'm not far from 100 percenting it. The game is exactly what Epic NPC Man has led me to believe this game is. Escort and Fetch quests for days. If you buy this game, this is what you should expect. It's not fun, there are a few great VLDL references and the NPC's act exactly how you would expect from Youtube. Please do not expect fun, just expect a few good references, a laugh here and there, and a great day for fishing. Hu Ha!

Mornin'! Nice day for fishin' ain't it? Huha.

I'm happy to support Viva La Dirt but this game is not that great. I'm happy to see it has overall good reviews but if it wasn't for it being based on their skits, it wouldn't be rated well. The game is just a back and forth grind. Go here, get this, come back. The story isn't anything special either. I'll give it positive for the support factor but it's a negative in terms of actual gameplay.

The game is basically a quest chase. There is no autonomy, nothing to discover, to do by yourself... The game even keeps calling which fish you mush catch all the time, it feels you are just following a script

This game is so cool , i wish fishing was real !

literally locked out of gameplay because I have a 60% keyboard so no arrow keys. Cannot use a spell and no settings to rebind keys. And it requires you to press the spell key as part of the tutorial no way to skip OR EVEN CLOSE THE GAME. Cant really say anything about gameplay yet since i only got to play 20 min

Mornin'! Nice day for fishing, ain't it! Mornin'! Nice day for fishing, ain't it? 100% Morning 95% Nice day for 99% Fishing 100% ain't it! Ha Hua!

60% fetch quests, 30% fishing, 10% exploration and interesting content. After first 30 min feels like a chore. Fishing mechanics is cool but it doesn't change and gets repetitive real fast. VLDL theme is cool but they didn't even bother voice act it.

The voice acting is the reason i refunded it, very terrible.

Pure pixel fun. Hours of entertainment, love the little missions, especially the unique one off mission to rescue Bodger's Hammer from the well... Did you know it is rightfully his? It was his Grandfathers hammer and he left it to Bodger. It is certainly not his brothers.
