Call of the Wild: The Angler is an open-world fishing simulator. It was developed by Expansive Worlds studio - authors of the warmly welcomed and genre-related game theHunter: Call of the Wild.

Game mechanics

In Call of the Wild: The Angler we observe the action from a first-person perspective (FPP). Game gives us at our disposal a vast land, which we can freely explore. The game world is full of eye-catching places and objects, such as picturesque river valleys, beautiful lakes and, finally, majestic mountain peaks. An additional attraction is the smooth daily cycle. Nothing prevents you from getting around on foot (in fact, the presence of numerous hiking trails encourages you to do so), but if you want to get from point A to point B quickly, consider taking a motorboat or an off-road vehicle.

Saving Content: 2 / 5 by Harry Harrison

If you’re anything like me and play video games to relax and get absorbed into a different world for even a few minutes, I’m afraid Call of the Wild: The Angler is likely not the game for you. If you enjoy games that have wildlife and fishing and look really good to, Red Dead Redemption 2 (online or off) holds up very well. As does Final Fantasy XV and Sea of Thieves! In a year or so when Call of the Wild: The Angler has received more updates with content and bug fixes I can see it being a great game. The game is technically playable, but I would hesitate to call it an enjoyable experience.

Gert Lush Gaming: 8.2 / 10 by Jim Smale

Call of the Wild Angler is a relaxing and fun game that gets the balance between simulation and arcade action just right as it allows players to play how they want and keep it accessible. It offers three types of fishing - float, lure spinning, and jighead spinning - making it an engaging experience for fishing enthusiasts.

Shacknews: 7 / 10 by Bill Lavoy

The Angler has a lot of soul. Every time I log in and see the (approximate) time and weather, I know exactly what spot I want to go to and what fish I’m looking for. I get excited when the conditions are just right to target that pike, and I know just the spot. The pull is there to keep me coming back. Even though it’s rough around the edges and somewhat feature-bare, you’re going to find your own spot that you don’t tell anyone about. Your own little slice of Golden Ridge heaven where you hope to one day land your Diamond.
