Gameplay

69 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay-wise the physics engine seems to be quite robust and some people have reported the 'tennis ball' effect which plagues the smaller boats in the water, but imo I don't think is as big of an issue as some people have made it out to be.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A great foundation with fantastic graphics, that need a lot more content and adjustments.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
They have a co-op implemented to play with friends most fishing games don't provide that. for being a early access still it's well made.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
As it stands now there is a wind/wave controller in the tab menu that is an immense help, but I now feel confident letting the game decide the weather, whereas I used to have to immediately go into that settings menu and take it down from "maelstrom" levels of boat-shake.
