“You pass people on the street, some are for you, some are not.” ― Robert Henri, The Art Spirit I recommend this !! WITH A HUGE DISCLAIMER !! I picked this up very impulsively after it popping up in my feed a bunch over the past month and then seeing a few people in my group playing it and reviewing it positively. I don't normally play multiplayer games and something like Webfishing definitely doesn't stick on my radar. But for some reason I was intrigued and at $5 to play I figured why not. I became almost immediately infatuated! It's all very lo-fi from the graphics to the music and sounds to the progression system. There is nothing complicated about it, really, and much of it leaves a whole lot of room for creative interpretation. You can buy and use chalk to draw things, you can buy and use guitars and tambourines to play music, you can gamble, you can drink beer. You can upgrade your gear to catch better fish. You can find a void. And you can chat with people. I think I was pretty lucky right off because my first day playing was on Thanksgiving in the US and who I found were people mostly in a good mood, feeling generous, chatty about all the good food they were eating and cooking, and some people commiserating over their intolerable family dynamics. A few lobbies had someone playing the guitar quite well. A few lobbies had some really cool artwork. I even went to one lobby where someone gave away x10 diamond rings to everyone (which thankfully did not appear to be an actual scam of any kind). I tried a variety of lobbies and some were chattier and more active than others but overall my experience was really really good. Sure, there were some griefers but they were far outnumbered by the people who seemed to be there just to genuinely chill and relax. And then I started noticing a player named "mack" would be in every lobby I was in. I'd join a lobby and within a minute or two "mack" would join. Then leave. Then join. I started my own public lobby and "mack" showed up and left about a dozen times. Nothing else notable happened but I thought it was weird. Then I went to the forums and was disappointed to find not only a thriving group of trolls and baiters running rampant but also a lot of community warnings of IP scraping and doxxing happening within the game. People were having save files lost or corrupted. People were being relentlessly harassed including the Developer. A lot of people were complaining about others like "mack" following them around or being everywhere in lobbies and doing things like messing up save files and booting hosts/hijacking lobbies. And the further into the threads I went the more confusing and difficult to parse the accuracy and validity of any piece of information. Nonetheless it was super discouraging to see this new thing I was actually having a really nice time in and that "mack" person could possibly culminate into some sort of real breach or issue for me. It was disheartening to see that so much of this seemed to be due to the q*eer lean this game has. I'm probably missing some nuance but that is the baseline gripe as I see it. I will never understand why people can't simply ignore the things that are not for them or do not speak to them. It's SO easy to just go, eh, not for me so let me go spend my precious time elsewhere. Instead, people feel emboldened and righteous enough to spend that precious time making sure others feel miserable over something that hurts and disrupts no one. Ya'll...it's a low-budget game about hanging out and fishing. I feel a lot of pity for the terminally online emotionally fragile person who chooses to spend their time trying to hurt other people over something so pedestrian. What a frail way to spend this life. In any case, take all that as you will. I am hopeful that at some point the Developer will find ways to address some of this and eventually as popularity declines again Webfishing will see a more consistent user base with less of this nonsense. It really is a very relaxing and fun experience I was surprised by and would like to spend more time in, I would just prefer to be in lobbies without worrying that my progress will be wiped or possibly something more nefarious. 5/5 with a significant disclaimer right now towards griefers who aren't just drawing d*cks on the floor. Enter at your own risk.

Strikethrough text ( example ) means a point is no longer valid as of the most recent update and will be removed soon. Please let me know if I missed something. Bold means something new from the most recent update. Here are some things that I feel are important to know and/or that I wanted to know before I bought this game: MOST IMPORTANT: This game currently does *not* have cloud saves. So if you're playing on PC and want to play on your steam deck, prepare to start all over again. This is by far the biggest negative i've found with this game yet. Going off the 1.09 patchnotes, this will be addressed soon Other things: • There is no voice chat. (this can be a positive or negative depending on player) • There can be up to 12 players in a server. You can now make the max player count lower when setting up a server. • The fishing minigame requires rapid mouse clicking. There is an autoclicker that can be enabled in the settings to help with this. • Servers are hosted by players for free. If the host disconnects, the whole server closes. • There are 4 settings for server privacy: Public, Code-only, Friends-only and Offline/Solo. Anyone in a public or code lobby can obtain or share the code to share with others. The lobby code is a 6 digit code for example "FOU2HR". • You can mark your server as "18+". This doesn't change anything gameplay wise, but it is shown on the server listing as well as making a pop-up appear for players who join your server that they need to accept. • There is no lobby descriptions, what you can see before you join is: the host's name and the playercount, formatted as "TheQuackinator4's Lobby " You can change the server name as well as of 1.09, as well as being able to see if the host has set the server to 18+. • The host can kick or ban players • You can mute and hide players • Players can punch eachother, including into the water. This can be disabled for you in the settings. • The game chat seems to have a similar culture to MMOs, for better or worse. The public lobbies are very much not for younger and/or more sensitive players. • Adding on to the previous point, as the "mature content description" on the steam page mentions, the game itself contains some mild swearing and jokes that wouldn't be appropriate for younger players. • While the game doesn't seem to save between devices, if you leave or are removed from a server, any progress you made on that server does save on that device, so you don't need to worry about restarting every time • You can draw and erase stuff in certain areas of the game, including being able to draw over and erase other players' drawings. • If you don't use a code, the public servers you join/host seem to be in your region, as practically all players I've encountered in public servers turned out to be in Denmark, which I am too. So your experience with other players may dramatically depend on where you're located. I don't know how locally it matches players with you, whether it's in the same country or near where you live. • This game keeps ALL chat history from your current session and will not delete any chat history until you close and reopen the game. After alot of chatting, I've found that interacting with the chat window makes the game slow to a crawl and the chat scroll bar becomes like, one pixel tall. I do not know if there's a way to delete chat history without restarting the game. Have any more things you want to know before you buy the game? As a bonus tip as a thank you for reading this review, type " /wag " in chat.

As I entered my first public lobby, I was warmly greeted with an invitation to a wedding ceremony. The proceedings were held on a private island, with drinks, snacks, and most importantly bait provided! Upon my arrival I was eagerly informed that, as part of the celebration, additional marriage proceedings would be offered upon request. The host also informed me that a suitable marriage partner would be provided to me free of charge! Thus I quickly snatched up this fabulous opportunity, and I am now happily married to the beautiful Skito. Unfortunately, the ceremony had to end, and with it, my new marriage. As quickly as love was given, it was taken away! Skito, my love, I will always cherish the 20 minutes we spent together, and I will never forget you.

Started playing because it looked like a game my best friend would have loved, fishing and connecting with random people was his whole Sea of Thieves experience. And after being hooked for 25 hours, I can safely say I was right. Sadly it also made the whole thing bittersweet because I wish I had the chance to share that with him. Nonetheless much love to West for making this game, and congrats on the success their game is having !
