What is Fishing: North Atlantic - Enhanced Edition?

A single-player commercial fishing sim set off Nova Scotia, with a first-person view aboard fishing boats and an open sea map. You use sonar to locate fish, catch them with harpoons, lines, pots, nets, or trawls, and sell your haul at port. You upgrade boats and gear while working around seasons and catch quotas.

For you if...

+you enjoy slow fishing trips and gradual boat upgrades
+you want to learn several commercial fishing methods
+you like planning trips around seasons and fish locations

Not for you if...

−you want short trips instead of slow boat travel
−you need co-op fishing with friends
−you prefer arcade fishing without managing gear and quotas
