  7.0

  Another Fisherman’s Tale is a charming, unique, and well-crafted puzzle game with creative set pieces and a heartfelt story, but unfortunately is let down by an unwieldy control scheme and a short three-to-four-hour long campaign. Still, the story of Bob and his adventures is worth diving into for its sheer creativity and uniqueness.

  The puzzles are great, offering up wacky scenarios with equally wacky solutions. While the first title primarily worked off a recursive environment inside a lighthouse, the sequel is all about using different “kinds” of hands to solve nautical puzzles.

  Another Fisherman’s Tale eventually tells a heartwarming story that many people will relate to, but whether or not they stick with it to the end is the big question. The narrative feels contorted to accommodate the gameplay, which itself stales rather quickly, and by the time it gets on track the game is over.

  5.0

  Another Fisherman’s Tale doesn’t feel completely finished; it’s short on content, lacks polish, and at times feels actually broken. The moments where everything works, and the first three levels in particular, demonstrate the huge potential of the setting, storytelling and the puzzles that inhabit it. It’s a pity that the promise isn’t fulfilled by the rest of the game.

  Another Fisherman's Tale may not win any awards for visuals or reinvent the wheel in gameplay. Nevertheless, the love Vertigo Games put in shines through. The story is flawless and the gameplay, while relatively simple, serves its purpose without getting in the way of itself. Another Fisherman’s Tale is a beautiful game that deserves your time on PSVR2.

  Expertly tuned controls mixed with exploring a thought-provoking, tear-jerking and hilarious story of family and loss make Another Fisherman's Tale a must-play title.
