So I’ve been playing it for a couple of days now, and I love the music and sound effects, which I found very ASMR and therefore very soothing. The graphics and color schemes also play a role in making the game feel very Zen overall. However, what I found most tedious is the slow start. The player starts with very limited inventory space (5) and will have to keep going back and forth between the main island (player base) and the first available location, where the player can start meeting objectives in order to propel the game. The algorithms of having to keep paying funds to go to the location, catching some fishes (or trash to recycle), and completing objectives make it difficult to progress to just Lvl. 2 because 1) player pays $100 for each trip or the game doesn’t progress at all, 2) your bag can only hold 5 items, 3) the total value of goods the player catches in the beginning barely break even with the $100 spent to get there so there’s barely any profit left and feels more like a 2-step forward, 1 step back process. Player also has to collect materials to build and upgrade the base, but with so many wood plank requirements just to build the dockyard (which is the first building after the shop and is supposed to be the key to increasing inventory space) and with only 5 slots to put all the fishes, trash, and materials in, the overall feel just feels very imbalanced. Other than that, it’s a very adorable game.

Definitely very visually appealing game as you explore and take in the various environments. Looking forward to future updates in the regard for sure. The day/night cycle and having to explore and search for the various fish is super fun. If you are hoping to make tons of gold fast, this might not be for you as you’d be robbing yourself of the relaxing fishing experience by trying to hurry through the games content. Listening to the waves as you cast and wait is so much fun and very nice. I do hope more relaxing music will be added as others have mentioned. Music for different times of the day and for different environments would be super cool. Overall, this game is a fantastic fishing experience that I hope will continue to be supported for a long while. I haven’t gotten into the clan activities yet, but it seems like there is some sort of “battle” or competition. I’d love it if you would consider some cooperative activities as a clan that might not be super highly competitive as well to compliment the game’s already chill feel. Thank you for one of the best games currently on my phone.

I like a lot of aspects of the game, the art style the way to play and the leaderboards. But this game has lots of possibilities. I wish I could play offline because if I am traveling and lose signal for a second the has to reload and most of the time you lose your fish. Wood is too difficult to acquire maybe add a choice to mission if you would like to receive wood or coins. Wish there was a fish leaderboard for more than just the standard fish. Wish you could store one or two rods on you so when a rod breaks you can keep fishing if you don’t want to go straight back to the island to buy a new one. Maybe make your rod more customizable to what you want to catch besides just lures add stats for them some better for catching certain fish. Will update review with more play time. Just finished getting all 15 materials and paying to build it and I have to wait till the next day to use it I don’t like it after waiting to get the materials which took a couple days. I’ve progressed enough in the game to where I want to catch some of the night fish like the legendary fish in the first area but find it difficult because the time for night in the game is not long enough I wish it either started earlier in the day or stays night until late morning currently it is only 8:00 pm to 4:00 am which I feel is way to short please extend night time.

Creatures of the deep is a great game that has the potential to be so much better if the devs listen to the community in terms of additions/changes that need to be made. The game looks amazing and has a fun concept, but there are absolutely some things that could make the game better. First, the game does have a very slow start which I can see deterring people not willing to invest the time into grinding a bit to get to more fun parts of the game. I think starting the game with more inventory slot (or at least making the last few slots more obtainable, 100+ gems is too much) to prevent having to keep from traveling back and forth between home island would help people make profit a little easier. Second, add multiple slots for fishing rods, maybe even one for each rod in the game so you can switch between what you’re fishing for on the fly. Or at least make the slots obtainable through in game progress. Something I think would make the game better would be: better customization. For characters and maybe even being able to personalize your island and invite people to it. Another: fishing together in the same boat working towards objectives together would add to the multiplayer aspect. And one side note for a few quality of life improvements, make an option to re-spec your character attributes and explain specifically what each attribute changes. Have a way to communicate with people in lobby and clan. Great game if you like a good balance of relaxing and adventure with excitement. You may not like it if you aren’t into games that require a little grind. Definitely worth the download though.
