I played and 100%'d the original Ridiculous Fishing back when it originally came out and loved it. This remaster is a great re-release of essentially the same game with I guess some fun new stuff. It just sucks that it buries a lot of the new stuff in NG+ that requires a full play-through of the base game first to unlock. I did eventually make my way through the game. Once I did, it was like "Hey you unlocked cool new fish that aren't in the base game! Lose all money and upgrades and play again to see the new fish!" lol no. No way. I would have loved to experience the new content on my first play. Oh well.

The other new content is a daily challenge mode. I tried it once and it was neat I guess. Listen if you've never played Ridiculous Fishing, give it a shot. It's rad. If you've already played it, I don't really think there's anything here to justify playing it again unless you're a gigantic fan.
