Fishing Game best 10 for PC

10  Pokemon Sword & Shield

Available exclusively on Switch

They might not have the most advanced fishing mechanics, but  Pokemon Sword & Shield  do have the best fishing in  the  Pokemon  mainline series . Fishing in the eighth generation games is as straightforward as finding a black circle, then casting the rod's line into the water.

Players won't find a massive bass, however, but instead an assortment of Pokemon with different sizes and appearances. Fishing has hardly changed since  the franchise's earlier generations  though, so some may feel that the time has come for  Pokemon  to follow other AAA video games and incorporate more advanced fishing mechanics in future entries.

9  Euro Fishing

Available on PS4, Xbox One & Windows

As a game based solely on fishing,  Euro Fishing  offers surprisingly immersive gameplay. Players can become masterful anglers by practicing in this simulation game, learning all about lures, bait types and other useful information about fishing as they do so.

As one might expect, there is lots of waiting while playing the game, meaning the anticipation can often be cut with a knife. From an enjoyability standpoint,  Euro Fishing  missed the mark a little, but the game showed lots of promise in its early days. Love or hate it, it's hard to deny that  Euro Fishing  offers a more realistic experience than most other fishing games.

8  The Legend Of Zelda: Link’s Awakening

Available exclusively on Switch

Found in the Northern section of Mabe Village is a subtle feature that must be experienced. 2019's  The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening   remake contains a fishing mini-game that expands upon the one found in the original Game Boy title by adding fish types and more polished gameplay mechanics.

There are fish like the Runt, Lunker, and Cheep Cheep that make the catch incredibly satisfying. Also, there is the overarching goal of catching the prize of the pond, Ol' Baron. Those who are able to catch Ol' Baron will be handsomely rewarded with at least 90 Rupees.

7  Stardew Valley

Available on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, Windows & Mobile

Stardew Valley's  stellar fishing is attributed to the types of fish and its relaxing nature. Certain fish appear during the off-season, yet fishing in the game is a year-round sport. To catch fish in  Stardew Valley , press the Use Tool button and gauge the meter for distance.

Despite having layers of depth,  Stardew Valley  can lack immersion as the 16-bit graphics are on par with a  Super Nintendo game . Resembling a  r etro simulation game,   Stardew Valley's  Pelican Town is the setting for highly relaxing fishing.

6  Ark: Survival Evolved

Available on PS4, Xbox One, Switch & Windows

The action-adventure survival game  Ark: Survival Evolved  takes fishing to a whole new level with a fishing net. This item was added as part of the Expansion Pack Genesis: Part 1 and is just one of many  big improvements that have been made to the game  since its somewhat underwhelming launch.

A fishing net might not be for everyone, which is why the game's devs have incorporated other options.  Ark: Survival Evolved  includes a fishing rod, which yields different sizes and types of fish depending on the bait used. Expect to catch Sabertooth Salmon and Piranhas when fishing in-game; some players might also find rare treasures.

5  World Of Warcraft

Available exclusively on Windows

If someone is in the mood for relaxing fishing and doesn't want to get into the sport's complexities,  World of Warcraft  is a must-play. The game's subscription structure might put certain people off, but those who are already subscribed to the game should definitely give fishing a try if they haven't already.

Although numerous water bodies make the fishing fantastic, it might be time for this  MMORPG to switch to a free-to-play model.  Subscribers, however, play the game regularly, relishing the opportunity to go fishing. It's just one of many activities that players can partake in and a great way to unwind after a challenging mission or raid.

4  Red Dead Redemption 2

Available on PS4, Xbox One & Windows

Grab a fishing pole from the inventory, bait the rod, and cast it into a body of water .  Red Dead Redemption 2  contains an abundance of fish, including some  legendary ones  which are incredibly value. As such, fishing in  Red Dead 2  can be a great way to earn a bit of extra money while also taking a break from the chaos of the main story.

3  Fishing Resort

Available exclusively on Wii

Naturally, since the game released on the  Nintendo Wii,   Fishing Resort  utilizes motion controls. There are 216 fish species contained in this game, making it one of the most comprehensive fishing games ever released. They all look fairly realistic too, which may surprise some considering the game's cartoonish art style.

Since fishing is the main component of the title, and it's not only a side feature,  Fishing Resort  is quite polished. The largest fish in the game is  Dunkleosteus, a prehistoric fish that is extremely rare. Even with a 39-hour completion time, few players have caught the magnificent creature.

2  Sea Of Thieves

Available on Xbox One & Windows

Starting out as a lackluster pirate adventure,  Sea of Thieves  has  evolved into so much more . According to  seaofthieves.com,  "Give a man a fish, and he’ll eat for a day – teach a man to fish, and he’ll rank up with The Hunter’s Call," and rank up players have.

Compared to the various swashbuckling adventures that populate the game, fishing provides an incredibly relaxing way to pass the time. It also has benefits such as providing food, although catches will need to be cooked before players can tuck in to their bounty.

1  Fishing Planet

Available on PS4, Xbox One & Windows

Hands down,  Fishing Planet  is the most immersive and exciting fishing game on the market. It's as close as players will ever get to doing the real thing without leaving their own home. Of course, this does bring with it one or two downsides, particularly for players who don't like waiting around.

Expect to grind levels in this game while catching an assortment of fish. The attention to detail is impressive and, to top things off,  Fishing Planet  is using a free-to-play model that seems to work well. The game is widely available on  platforms like Xbox One,  PlayStation 4, and PC.
