Fish Game

F I B S H (It does run a bit warm on my laptop but so worth it, including all the DLCs)

An excellent fishkeeping simulation; this one's got quite a few features that others don't. It also has a few problems others don't. We'll start with the good news. The plants have needs, grow, and can be trimmed. Stem plants can be propagated just as in the hobby, by splitting and replanting them. The fish themselves have far more depth of personality and behavior than other waterboxing sims, bordering on cartoonish at times. There's a whole sims 3-level depth of bars to fill for each fish and plant in their detailed stats. The water itself is a character, with its own stats and possible 'builds' to strive for to create utopia for your specimens. There's even some liquid physics simulation going on with flow and surface agitation. On the downside are quite a few factors that I think keep this from being a solid dime, and earning its full retail. The biggest feature that would keep me from recommending this is how new content is drip fed to you. You earn xp at a snail's pace, at 25 hours I'm only halfway through the unlocks. Leaving the game clock maxed out will kill your tanks or make you the busiest fishkeeper alive, sweating through feedings and water changes. It's never clear…

Super cool game and very smooth no lag, even on my rtx 3050 lol

this game is so fun, like creating your own tanks and finding your fish, collecting in game currency to buy more things for your tanks and unlocking stores. very cool very fun, i like how theres no ingame puchases, like irl money. kinda sad thers no coral reef fish or saltwater fish, i really wanteed to make a tank like that

If you LOVE extreme hobby aquatics this game will steal your soul. You have been warned.

I've recently become infatuated with shrimp and keep toying with the idea of starting a tank, but am intimidated by the setup required and water parameter knowledge needed. This is where Fish Game comes in :] There are no shrimp in the game (yet??), but I can experience decorating tanks and watching lil guys without the risk of harming any real friends. I've only just started playing this past weekend, but it's already managed to keep me hooked for hours. It's pretty much exactly what I was looking for (minus the shrimp, of course!), so I'm happy to recommend it. Fish Game is extremely chill- you just pick and choose a tank size, fish, plants, and hardscape you want and get goin. The only currency is one you gain by waiting out in-game days; this is then used to unlock equipment, shops, substrate varieties, etc. Lofi-adjacent music plays as you watch your fish and it's just all very relaxing. I love the slightly stylized graphics and bright colors, in particular. The UI is also clean and navigating it is simple, though I do think the game could use a more robust tutorial. My only real gripe so far is that sometimes my plants desperately want nitrogen and there's no clear …
