Nice Day For Fishing

Post by Leisher »

From Team 17 and the Epic NPC Man (Viva La Dirt League) crew. If you don't know who they are, you should look them up on YouTube. Pretty funny stuff mocking tech retail, RPGs, survival games, etc.

You play as Baelin, the fisherman in Honeywood that says, "Nice day for fishing" and nothing else. All the adventurers have been booted from the game server and suddenly Baelin has become one. He must now save Honeywood and Azerim from an old evil.

The whole game is about fishing, and they're sort of clever about it. No guns, no swords, just a fishing pole. You do have spells and items, but you only use them trying to land fish. Oh, there are boss fights, but again, it's all fishing. The exploration is all done through the fishing too. Again, it's a clever new mechanic. Some of the fights are kinda fun, but if I'm being honest, your spells can make them pretty easy.

The story and humor is just one massive nod to the characters from the YouTube series, so if you're unfamiliar, you won't have a clue.

There is free DLC content coming soon that will introduce elite fish and new boss fights. I'll probably revisit it once that comes out.

Fun distraction and a game you can play while watching football. An important thing this time of year.

If you know the crew, this is worth it. If you don't it probably isn't.
