For instance, in my mind, match rods are used when you are fishing for smaller fish, trying to build a weight on a hard day. The fishing action on display is fairly true to life, but is very much setup to the American way of fishing, and it has to be said that as a Brit some of the terms are a bit weird. This time around the game takes you by the hand a lot more than previously too, with a series of missions introducing the important mechanics and teaching you what you need to know. Luckily, although I had played the F2P version, I had lost patience with the microtransactions, so restarting wasn’t too much of a wrench. Even if you have played the F2P version before, none of your progress will carry over, so please bear that in mind if you are tempted to get this edition. It was a pleasant surprise therefore to see achievements popping for completing the tutorial again, just a few minutes in, and as such this game immediately sets itself apart from the previous version. The first thing to say is that The Fisherman is completely separate from the F2P version of Fishing Planet, even down to completely separate achievements.
