With the visuals turned up to the max and using a Pimax 5K+ everything looks good, feels good, and the wide FOV really helps get you immersed in the atmosphere of the lake.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
There is plenty of feedback when the fish is hooked, with the rod bending and the controller vibrating I felt like I was actually in the back and forth with the hooked fish, but every time it ended with the fish getting away for an unknown reason.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The random weather effects (the sound, lighting, etc) really help add to the immersion, and also the fact that the UI is very minimal and stays out of your way.
