A constantly busy and business man does not always have the opportunity to spend a couple of days in nature in order to take up his favorite hobby - fishing. And I would like to allocate time for this, because this is one of the best ways to relax, escape from the tense rhythm of life, and feel the primal excitement of a hunter. Fishing simulators will come to the rescue, which can be installed on almost any smartphone or computer.
Russian fishing
This is one of the most popular simulators that appeared back in 2005. Since then, many versions and variants of the game have been released, each with its own characteristics and technical requirements.
The simplest version is "Uralskaya Rybalka", with easy controls, with only four locations, a small selection of baits, reels and fish species. It will appeal to novice gamers, especially if you have to play on an inexpensive phone or smartphone with a small amount of RAM. The plot of the game is simple: you need to fish, sell it, improve the tackle and catch more expensive fish with the proceeds. “Fishing in Georgian” practically does not differ from it, the peculiarity is only in an interesting voice acting with a Georgian accent.
"Fishing 2" was a continuation of this game, in it there were photographs of real bodies of water, you can fish in sea or fresh water, the number of fish species increased to 133, and the number of fishing tackle has already become 34. At the same time, the fish has become much cheaper, and you can reach the last level not so easy.
But the series "Russian Fishing 1.2 - 3.9" has become a real fishing simulator. The interface has completely changed: fishing bases, fishing places, shop, etc. You can fish with 3 rods, and in four different ways - fly fishing, trolling, donkey or float. In the store, with the money raised from the sale of fish, it is possible to purchase 50 different types of baits, flavors, baits, etc.
Foreign fishing simulators
Big Fishing game from Radon Labs is also popular with fishing enthusiasts. There are two game modes here: amateur and professional, you can fish in seven different locations, including a frozen lake. The fisherman chooses a fishing rod or spinning rod, various lures and baits. Highlights of the game: the ability to observe the bite under water and a detailed encyclopedia about different types of fish, the peculiarities of their behavior and nutrition.
One of the best ice fishing simulators, ProPilkki, is a game from a Finnish manufacturer, written by experts in their field. You can fish in 19 real water bodies of Finland, with different bottom topography, fish species composition, and the weather conditions are constantly changing.
As an exotic, you can try games like Atom Fishing. Here the action takes place in a post-apocalyptic fantasy world, you can catch not only fish, but also an old gas mask, a skeleton or even a corpse.
Of particular note is the ability to play all of these games both individually and online. In the second case, it becomes possible to compete in the art of fishing with real players from all over the world.
