Co-op

89 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
as for how to fish specifically, its good, its fun, you can put hours into it easily, and it has 8 player co-op.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Fortunately, the combination of rare variants, progression, combat, trick shots, cooperative play, quests, gambling, and new areas gives the design several ways to prevent fishing itself from carrying the entire experience.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Boss encounters are an especially amusing extension of the fishing premise, essentially transforming unusually formidable aquatic creatures into major combat challenges.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Better equipment, rare catches, dangerous islands, bosses, weapons, trick shots, and multiplayer interaction give the premise considerably more depth than its simple title initially suggests.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I get on average 60 to 80 fps on high graphics in cyberpunk with 0 issues.
