Games Like Idle Fishing
About Idle Fishing: Idle Fishing combines passive fishing with active mini-games where you catch fish, hire crew, and build up infrastructure across multiple boats. The game emphasizes relaxation but has shifted toward required active play including precision-based mechanics, though players note these feel disconnected from the core fishing loop and can be frustrating rather than engaging.
