What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
October 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $4.99. In 2 years of price history it has never once been discounted.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 99 percent of its genre. The nearest things to it, Luma Island ($11.99, scores 67) and Super Animal Royale (free, scores 82), are both worse buys on this math.
Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 15 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2025 to September 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 748 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 500 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 91 percent of the 4,146 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 14.3 hours; clearing it takes 165, which is 12 times the campaign.

What players say
ive absolutely loved this game but unfortunately after some drivers updates the games textures got very buggy and is essentially unplayable this is an issue on radeon graphics cards to my knowledge the game should run just fine on nvidia
game WAS great when being actively developed but unfortunately the dev was run off the internet by losers online so it likely wont ever get updated again. sad to see really.
I wish the dev still worked on this game. Very relaxing and satisfying to add to your collection of fish.
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

WEBFISHING scores 97/100 on the BANG Score (a BANGER). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/3146520/webfishingThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 15, price as of Sep 23.
