Mine is stardew valley, it's so simples, yet so relaxing

my favorite game with a fishing minigame, or my favorite fishing minigame? these are 2 different questions.

For me it's webfishing because I can chat with cute anonymice

Can be both, as long as you talk about the fishing minigame. Mostly talking about how you love this specific mechanic in a game

then i offer up final fantasy 15. it didnt deserve a fishing minigame as good as it got.

How good it is? I thought ff 14 was interesting already

Far cry 5 fishing was something that I never expected

for me, its certain trails/ys games. I marathonned both series so the different fishing among entries blends together in my mind, but overall they are the funnest fishing imo
stellar blade fishing mechanic itself is okay but eves sexiness really elevates it
I hate fishing in nier automata and most Yakuza games

its better to just see it in action. i never played 14 so i have no idea how it compares.

Breath of Fire 4
Twilight Princess

Been ages since I played it, but I know the PSP port of Breath of Fire 3 mostly just added its fishing to the main menu, with some new areas to explore. Didn't even have to load the game and walk to some fishing hole, just jump in and have fun.

these are my requirements to consider a fishing minigame to be good
>fish are physical objects present in the body of water
>when you successfully catch a fish, you are removing it from the body of water
>different lures behave differently in the water depending on their parameters and different fish are attracted to different kinds of lures
so far the only games I know of that follow these rules are OoT, mysteries under lake ophelia and cast n chill. I'm sure there are others but they are likely low effort flash-tier games with tweened animation.

Stardew's is okay, but that game is a whole bunch of mediocre elements that combine into more than the sum of their parts
i just realized that's the point of the thread
