Fish Idle 2 advertises automated fishing and passive income systems, but players report minimal idle mechanics, no offline earnings, and aggressive monetization centered on a cash shop that requires spending to access better crafting materials. The game's core loop relies heavily on active play and paid progression rather than true idle automation, making it primarily suited for players comfortable with pay-to-win mechanics.

I really don't understand why this game has "mostly positive" reviews.
The game's trailer is fake... The gameplay is purely P2W... There are no idle mechanics and 0 offline pay.
Unless something changes, don't waste your $5 on this
I played for a few minutes till I saw a message saying I can sell items on steam marketplace for real steam money. I immediately checked my task manager and saw my GPU being used 30% (3060). Immediately closed the game. Conjecture? I'll leave that to the reader.
purely made to drain your money with the insane cash shop, which seems like you need to get the good crafting materials. 970 euro for chests...
Follow up: The prices have been heavily reduced which is a plus side since the dev has responded. You're paying 10 bucks for 100 chests now. These are mobile game practices. Alltough we aren't paying much for the game, it's still 5 bucks. The game is purely designed with 1 goal in mind and that is to make money. It has potential for a good cozy idle game, but the way it's monetized is garbage. Most of the achievements are linked to crafting to intensify buying chests to get materials for crafting. You still can unlock a couple of chests by playing. Avoid if you're an achievementhunter at all times, or hope the developer changed his monetization scheme or alters the achievements to not link them with the scummy monetization
