It wants you to lose yourself in the VR experience of fishing in a way that echoes the real-world version. Real VR Fishing wants to make you feel like you’re actually stood by the water. Whilst there is definitely some shared gameplay DNA between Real VR Fishing and Bait!, they have different goals and, therefore, entirely different atmospheres. These will likely be the same people who recommend playing Moonrider instead of forking out for Beat Saber or BoxVR. Sadly, no matter what I might say in this review, some will say ‘just get Bait!, it’s free’.
It distils the pastime into a whimsical arcade game with a considerable amount of success and is both immediate and fun.
Of course, the lovely and cartoony Bait! is already available on the Quest, and is mostly free to play. I was only too happy to wade in and find out if it was worth the wait. Real VR Fishing has been on my radar since before I purchased the Quest. As I’d now call myself an angler in real life, I was curious to see how this relaxing, perplexing hobby might translate to virtual reality. After a rather major health scare last year, a friend of mine took me fishing, and I have been addicted ever since. However, rather like middle age, virtual reality changes all the rules. It wasn’t so long ago that I would have said that the closest I’d get to enjoying fishing is the bit in Resident Evil 4 that lets you lob a grenade into a fish farm and collect dead bass for health.
