Description: Just you. On a lake. Step into your rowboat, grab the paddles and dive into a meditative, relaxing VR fishing experience like no other. Catch & Release places you on a beautiful mountain lake and lets you freely explore and row around while you choose your fishing spot and take in the scenery. The backdrop for your fishing adventures includes dense forest, mountains, cliffs and reed covered coastlines.
While you fish you can listen to music on the radio, skip stones across the lake or use any other of the many interactive items. Choose the right bait, pick a good fishing ground and cast your rod to get the biggest fish on the hook! But once you do, it’s not over yet. You’ll have to tire out your catch and win the fight before you can reel it in!
Review: Fishing games always seem to fall into one of two categories. There are the serious, action-packed sports ones and the fun, cartoon graphics arcade-style games. While Catch & Release is family in the last catigory it is also way more relaxing than many other games similar to it. This game really does offer what it says in the tagline, just you…on a lake!
Catch & Release gets a lot right and can even offer a challenge to those wanting a more serious game, but above all else, this game is relaxing and offers a real escape from the real world. If you just like you VR games to take you away, this one has you covered and for a good price as well.
