What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Aquarist is a relaxing and visually appealing game with straightforward progression that appeals to players seeking creative, chill gameplay, though it suffers from technical issues like unresponsiveness, clunky mechanics such as limited object rotation and AI pathfinding problems, and some frustration with fish compatibility in larger tank layouts. Players who enjoy the game's core loop recommend it for casual play, but those experiencing crashes or who are sensitive to file size may want to wait for patches or reconsider entirely.
Generally enjoyable! Slightly clunky as small games tend to be. Sometimes a customer in the supermarket will walk in circles endlessly and you can’t be rid of them until you save and exit, then pop back into the game Wish we could rotate items on a single axis though. Having to pick between an item facing a single predetermined direction or having it tilted isn’t ideal. Not always terrible for things like rocks, terrible for literally everything else. Please let us make objects face a different direction while remaining upright. You did this for the plants, can we have that for the decorations too?1 found this helpful
i reallly do like this game i just wish that the reef fish were ok with a big reef layout i did a really nice big reef display only to find half the fish didnt like all the decor and had to take down most of it now it just looks bland and boring reefs are made up and cramped together so it makes sense, the coral shouldnt be under decor1 found this helpful
yes fishie fun
I've had hours of fun.
Not for me personally, though honestly this is the kind of game that you'll know if you like from the trailer. If it looks a bit janky for you, you'll probably not be too into it, but if this looks like something you'd enjoy, pop off. I can't complain since I did get this as a gift.
TBH I tried and even though I have a short atention span it still sucks. cant even start it anymore I start and wait. and wait. and wait. but im still loading. FIX THE DAMN GAME
