deep progression game done right. the region unlocks pace things out well and theres a real gear curve, match your rod and line to what youre hunting instead of brute forcing it. bait matters way more than newer players think, thats my main tip. it loses a point only because the ultra rare fish lean hard on rng and even a patient grinder like me hits dry spells that test you. but the systems underneath are excellent and rewarding to master. 4.
