The Real Review

How to Fish is a chaotic, physics based fishing sim from Dazed Games where you and up to three friends crash on an island and have to learn to fish to get home. The core gameplay and multiplayer are a huge hit, with the fishing, guns, and even dynamite creating a hilarious sandbox that people love. The biggest complaints are performance issues on PC and a steep difficulty curve that frustrates some players. It's seen as a fantastic value for the price, especially with friends, as long as your rig can handle the jank.
