River King A Wonderful Journey

Oh beautiful River King, how many hours have I floated in a wooden a pail catching fish with a bamboo pole! If you ever wished for an endless, gratifying supply of fish this is your game. It is NOTHING like a bass master game. The graphics and are not fantastic nor do they focus on fish ecology. Instead it is like an RPG where you dungeon grind by catching fish instead of fighting monsters. There is something ever so gratifying of bringing in entire baskets full of rare or record-large fish. It's not perfect. The optional cooking quests drive me crazy. Plus, there are a few plot elements that were thrown in more as scenery elements and make me go, eh? Why put THAT in there? But the mechanics of the core game are enjoyable and so is the sound of running water. I like to think of this game as a relaxing way to goof off- just me and the pole and the river. The ending was a bit of candy to top off a good run.
