Louis Armstrong and Bing Crosby once sang of getting away from the hustle and bustle of our lives, of taking a sabbatical by a shady wavy pool. Now, unfortunately it’s not always possible to pack up the car, plan a fishing trip and play hooky with the boss. However, with modern technology your next fishing trip is only as far as the nearest comfy sofa.

You might think that the life of a fisherman is easy. All you have to do is go out onto the water and catch some fish, right?
Except, that’s not always true. The waters you fish on can be dangerous, and sometimes, they hide greater secrets than you can imagine. But, that’s the life you’ll partake in within the game Dredge. You’ll make roost at an archipelago where numerous kinds of fish are begging to be caught.
But a deeper mystery will unfold as you learn more about these islands, their people, and the waters surrounding them. One that will reveal what really lies in the waters as the sun goes down.

While that is a long name, Fishing: Barents Sea Complete Edition is very much a deep game (pun intended) in terms of the fish you do, and how you go about doing it. Because in this title, you’re not just a fisherman, you’re the captain of a boat, and you’ll need to go and sail the waters of Norway in order to get the best fishing spots in order to come out on top.
There are fourteen different ships you can choose from, and plenty of ways to go about fishing. So you’ll need to be an adaptable fisherman in order to get the fish you need to grow as a captain!
Think you’re up to the challenge?
