00:00Alrighty, welcome back everybody today. We're gonna be checking out fish idol 2. Our goal here is to build a fishing
00:07Empire, this is my first impression. I'm just jumping into it right now
00:12But I do love fishing and I enjoy my occasional idol games. So we're gonna go ahead and give this a shot
00:17It's free to play on the Steam Store and released on August 2nd, and it's currently sitting at very positive reviews
00:24So, let's see here. Our cargo is full. Let's talk to this guy stuck on a raft
00:29Okay, we're gonna have quest two looks like we got a message in a bottle. We'll get ten gold
00:34Somewhere around here is a mysterious message. Okay, so I got to find that message first
00:40Target detected or a car goes full. So I think we're probably gonna have to handle that real quick first
00:46What is this caviar?
00:49Exchanger no, okay. We want to go to the home base. It's like we can eventually build a submarine
00:54So there's gonna be quite a bit of grindy in here. Okay, what we got here
00:58Catching speed we increase our catch speed from 16 to 17. Let's do it
01:03So it looks like we automatically empty our cargo when we come on to here
01:08Let's go get our target species
01:10Being a lot of nice grinding here
01:13There we go. Oh, we got a message in a bottle
01:18Interesting well, we filled up our cargo quick. We're gonna have to upgrade that as soon as possible, but let's turn in this quest
01:24Hello quest giver
01:27It seems to be a message from Johnny
01:29All right. Well, thanks for the ten gold Johnny. So our car goes full as we can see
01:34I think we just got to drive to the lighthouse. Yeah, and then we automatically drop it. All right, perfect
01:38Let's grind away
01:40Okay, we get experience points to you see on the upper left hand corner that shows our experience. We're level one right now. I
01:49Imagine we're gonna be able to increase the speed of our boat and all that good stuff
01:52So these guys are worth two gold. How much are these guys worth? How much are the orange guys? Oh, the orange guys are seven
01:59I like the little fishing reel that comes out the front. That's cool. All right
02:03Well, we're obviously gonna want to grind the highest. Oh, I see a goldfish. Let's go get the goldfish
02:09This little sparkly gold guy we want to get him the green guys are only worth four gold
02:14But this guy's worth 28 smackaroos right here
02:18Well, bam, ooh, that feels good
02:20Well, bam, ooh that feels good, all right, let's take care of all these orange fish first cuz they give us seven gold I
02:28Can't wait to upgrade my boat. I've been doing a ton of
02:31Shore fishing lately in real life. So I saw this game on Steam and I was like, you know what?
02:38Let me get a little fishing action on let's get some of that fishing going
02:43I've definitely caught more fish playing this game right now, then I have in like two months of actual fishing
02:49So that's a bit more rewarding looks like the more expensive fish take up more space, but that gold guy already spawned back
02:57Let's go get another let's go get another gold guy. No, give me this goldfish
03:02Cuz that's where 28 that's good money right there
03:06Let's see what our next available upgrade is we can take cargo. Yeah, I think cargo capacity is gonna be a good bet
03:13And maybe even move speed. Yeah, let's go cargo capacity
03:16We're gonna upgrade that as much as we can right now. We got 26 gold left over. Let's increase the speed on her boat
03:23I'm get that faster. Looks like this goldfish just keeps coming back. So I'm alright with that
03:28Movie, it's pretty easy in this game. You just hold down your left. Click wherever you want to go and it will do that
03:34I'm trying to catch this goldfish though
03:37Come on come on Goldie boy come to me Goldie boy Goldie boy doesn't want to be caught right now
03:43Our car goes full we're gonna have to come back for him
03:47Can't really tell a difference in my move speed. But I mean the increase in cargo is definitely a win. Come here gold boy
03:53I want this gold boy. Oh
03:55My god, it won't give me the gold boy. Oh
03:58Oh, what do I happen here though? Oh we leveled up. Okay level two
04:03New gate unlocked perfect. I still want to catch this goldfish though. Oh
04:07No, that's still that's not him
04:10Oh, no, that's still that's not him. Oh they doing us dirty
04:15Let's go drop off this haul
04:18For the submarine it looks like we need oh we see more goldfish the waters are too shallow for us
04:23Finish the submarine so we can explore underwater worlds. That sounds cool. I definitely want to grab these gold guys
04:30Come to me. Oh that gives us premium currency, too
04:33But they take longer to catch but they're worth 50 gold
04:36Looks like we could just park here. This is where the idle aspect comes into it. I imagine we got to keep them in this radius, right?
04:42Here he's trying to escape us. He's never gonna get away
04:48Got him
04:49So I imagine the green currency up here on the right hand corner. That's gonna be some kind of
04:54like
04:55Premium currency, but I'm not really sure
05:01We messing up these goldfish today, oh
05:03Yeah, oh and that's on a timer. Okay, so that's on a cool-down good to know. Let's see what this quest is
05:09Give us flippers and we will be ready to go. Okay, so I guess we'll end up fishing up some flippers somewhere. Oh
05:16I see. So the exclamation marks on these fish. They will have a chance of dropping us our
05:22Quest related item. Let's upgrade our boat again. Let's increase our catch speed and
05:28We'll keep pumping in the catch me. Looks like you'll have a chance to drop off some goldfish
05:32Looks like you'll have health. I wonder if something ends up attacking us
05:37Let's try to get these flippers. I
05:39Don't know why my man needs flippers in a kayak, but maybe he's gonna be doing some spearfishing. I
05:46Talked to a spearfisher today. Actually, I took the kids to the beach and we did a little
05:52Surfing and I didn't do any fishing today, but we did a little surfing
05:56Anyways, when we were leaving we spotted a guy cleaning his fish
06:00You know filleting it up and he caught what he called an angel shark. It was huge. It was probably four feet long and
06:09Apparently, it's a critically endangered species, but I checked and you can still fish it. So that's interesting
06:14Well, I don't know that fish looked magical swimming away from us
06:18Yeah, so that guy was doing some spearfishing there's actually a lot of spearfishing going on
06:23In my area where I live. I live in Southern, California
06:26And I'm standing there on the shore fishing not catching anything
06:29and these guys who are brave enough to go out there and
06:33Dive in the water to do spearfishing. They're coming back with some good fish
06:37Talk to one guy two days ago, and he was out there and he caught a couple Corbina and some halibut
06:43So they're definitely having better luck than I am with my shore fishing
06:49Okay, so these guys will automatically drop us one flipper so we should have that quest done pretty quick
06:55Let's go turn back in our hall. Oh, we getting good upgrades now. Let's see
06:59We will let's increase our boat speed
07:02So we can get back to turn in or catch quicker. Oh
07:08Yeah, you can feel the increased movement speed now, that's what I'm talking about, I don't know what I just picked up I
07:16Will just hang out here. Oh, no, we got to stay on top of them with our catching radius
07:22You can't move the camera in or out this view is a view you're getting I want to see what's up with this fish
07:27What's up with this fish? That's super fast
07:29Come here. Oh, he gives me the caviar. Oh
07:35But he left my radius so we got to chase them down we well on our way to getting these flippers
07:40Definitely gonna increase my catch speed next upgrade we get
07:44Let's go. I think that movement speed was a big deal that helped a lot. Yeah, so the caviar upgrade from that
07:52Orangey goldfish swimming around is right here and it's an exchanger. Oh, we can exchange that just for a hundred gold
07:59Okay. Well, that's easy money
08:01Let's increase our catch speed some more. I wonder if we actually get like boat upgrades, too
08:05That would be pretty cool if we could get a bigger boat
08:07We finished the flipper quest and we got one like pirate doubloon or something. Oh
08:14And we give it to this pirate that makes sense that all checks out. Let's go see what he's up to. Oh
08:20We got main quest do I do like that?
08:22There's a little quest help me get my team back and I will give you unprecedented power
08:26All right. All right, Johnny
08:29It's a deal. What's up over here? What do we got here?
08:33Johnny's farm. Oh
08:37How do I upgrade this oh, so this is gonna be our passive income, okay, so let's try getting this increase to
08:44This fish is worth seven. How much is this one worth?
08:4723 yeah
08:50Was it's like a striped bass or something
08:52I think they would be a lot cooler in this game if they had like actual names of the fish
08:58Now we're like real-life fish that would give me a lot more pleasure
09:01We're gonna farm these guys up and we're gonna unlock some passive income over here at Johnny's farm
09:06Oh snap, this green fish will give me caviar, too. Okay, so it's not just those
09:11That fast orange goldfish we saw this guy will give me caviar too. We're gonna want to do that. I'll give us a hundred gold. Oh
09:20Yeah, that's what I'm talking about
09:22See, I thought only these guys gave caviar right here
09:25But it turns out other fish do too, let's go turn her in our one caviar point
09:30This game is pretty relaxing. I gotta say I
09:34Enjoy, you know, I play a lot of ARPGs and MMOs and I and I can enjoy a good relaxing idle game
09:40Let's go unlock Johnny's farm
09:43We got enough money now income per minute from zero to ten. All right and
09:48Maximum capacity, so I wonder if we'll have to collect fish from here. Let's just dump in
09:54The passive income. Let's try to get this totally leveled up because it only goes up to level 10
09:59So I feel like we'll be able to accomplish that
10:01We'll go back to farming these gray fish because there were 23
10:05Okay, and that green fish that gives the caviar is spawned back. That's probably about three or four minutes
10:10For this green fish to spawn back in but every time we get this caviar, that's a hundred gold in our pocket. So that's good
10:18I'm down with that return
10:21Let's go upgrade Johnny's farm a little bit more get our passive income coming through
10:25Okay, so it looks like you have to come here and actually collect your gold from here
10:30So it's not completely idle. You still got to come over here. Once your capacity gets full and
10:36Collect your gold. So let's upgrade our capacity a little bit more. We'll keep farming these guys
10:41We'll go turn in our caviar and we'll turn in our fish once our car goes full and we'll see what we have
10:47Okay, our green fish is back even more caviar
10:50I've already turned in one caviar, but it's such easy money. You see I'm at 250 gold now
10:55I'm just trying to build it up a little bit and then I want to fully unlock or fully upgrade
11:01Johnny's farm over here get that passive income, you know
11:06The one complaint I have so far is that the music that's in the background
11:10There's only one track and it just constantly loops over and over again
11:14So I've been playing this now for about 20 minutes and
11:18I'm already you're gonna want some other music playing in the background, you know, bring up Spotify
11:23have some other music playing because
11:26Even though the soundtrack it's a nice little
11:31Relaxing almost like lo-fi beat
11:34But it's gonna get pretty lame pretty soon
11:38Let's keep upgrading Johnny's farm
11:40Collect a little more gold. I imagine we just got a level up and once we level up or lock a new area
11:46I'm gonna use my residual coins to to increase my catching speed
11:52Well, let's see if we can finally get one of these suckers those guys were 50 gold
11:56You might zoom out of the way though. Yeah, we don't have a chance for that
11:59We'll go back and we'll keep grinding our little gray fish over here. Alright, so it's been about another 10 minutes
12:04We got a nice little chunk of money going on here. Let's keep upgrading Johnny's farm
12:08I've upgraded a few things. Let's just max out if we can
12:14Collect that 248. Let's max out our income total here. Oh, we almost got our max out income
12:21The one thing I will say about this game is I wish they had more like customization options, right?
12:25So I can crease my catching speed my cargo capacity and my movement speed
12:30But my boat doesn't change the way it looks it would be a lot more engaging since there's not a whole lot going on
12:37If the actual boat customization change from what I can tell nothing on it changes
12:42So maybe if I upgrade the move speed you can see like a bigger wake or when I upgrade my catching speed
12:50The pole on the front of my boat would look a little bit different
12:53Upgrade my cargo you see little
12:56Cargo shelves built on the boat anything to add a little more feeling of progression because right now it's been about
13:0326 minutes of gameplay and I've just been in this one area
13:07farming these fish
13:09driving back to the lighthouse and
13:12Trying to upgrade the farm over here actual like visual progression would be a nice addition here
13:21Because the level ups are super slow if you look at the upper left-hand corner, I am NOT even halfway through
13:27getting
13:29To level three. We're gonna we're gonna max out this farm here
13:34We'll go back to grinding these same fish because these great fish right here are worth the most amount of money. Here we go
13:40We can finally max out Johnny's farm the income. So we're gonna go from 200 to 250 for 700 gold
13:46Let's do that. We got this maxed out
13:49Now we're gonna increase our capacity a little bit to just dump everything
13:53We got into capacity and I'll collect that passive income. We got some upgrades, too
13:57Let's increase our catch speed a little bit more they definitely need more like random events happening
14:05Just something to spice it up a little bit because it's been pretty much like 30 minutes of
14:09Just what you're seeing right here. The upgrades do make a difference
14:13I can tell a difference in my catch speed from that last upgrade
14:16But I've played idle games or tycoon games that give you a little bit quicker sense of progression
14:23This one's definitely gonna be a slow burner
14:25We have 700 more gold to go before we could fully max out Johnny's farm. That's our mission set forth here today
14:32They definitely need to increase the speed of like the level ups
14:35Because just being stuck in this one area for about 30 minutes is gonna turn a lot of people off the game
14:41I know a lot of people like idle games tycoon games little simulation games like this
14:46But if you feel like you're not making any progress
14:49I'm stuck in the same exact area for 30 minutes with the same soundtrack
14:54Looping over and over and over and I think the soundtracks literally only like five seconds long
14:59So I can see people getting burnt out on this pretty quickly. We did get some more caviar gun caviar quite a few times
15:06I've probably made a thousand gold just from the caviar alone. So that's been good
15:13We're definitely getting getting into the grind here with this. I think after one more haul and
15:18Collecting our passive income. We'll be able to fully max out the farm
15:22But I wish I could get to like a different area
15:25Or there'd be like random fish that would pop up right like all of a sudden you'd have a bigger fish pop up in this
15:32Area that's on some kind of respawn cooldown
15:36That would give you a bunch of gold something to make it just a little bit more exciting
15:41Like how cool would it be if a whale just popped up right here?
15:43And you could try to catch the whale or shark swam up and you could try to catch the shark that might be in later
15:49Levels, but if you don't have anything happening in the very beginning of the game
15:54Like the first 30 minutes of the game. A lot of people are just gonna stop playing it
15:58let's see if anything interesting happens when you max out Johnny's farm now if
16:03the
16:04Visual styling of the building doesn't change that's gonna be kind of a disappointment
16:08Now see so it's still all the same
16:10So now what I'd have to do for another 30 minutes is just sit here and farm these fish and collect my passive income
16:18To level up and then I imagine once I level up one of these areas open up
16:23But for the time being I'm just gonna be driving from here to the lighthouse
16:30to the farm and doing that for like another 30 minutes, so with all that being said this was
16:36Fish Idol 2
16:38It's a cute little simple game to play if you're looking for something just to kill 20-30 minutes before you go out
16:45Then you know this might be a choice for you, but if you're looking for a game that gives you a sense of progression I
16:52Don't know if this one has it. There's just not enough going on here
16:56It's far too simple, but if you're looking for an idle game to play
16:59That's completely free and new to the Steam Store
17:02That's completely free and new to the Steam Store then Fish Idol 2 is for you again. It has very positive reviews
17:09118 reviews that are very positive if you guys want to see me play more of this and see how the progression fares what these
17:15New areas hold go ahead and leave a comment down below if not stay tuned and we'll have another free-to-play game
