Critic Reviews for Another Fisherman's Tale
A charmingly narrated VR puzzle game, with some interesting mechanics, but it's let down by mechanical difficulties and occasionally insufficient signposting.
A good example of how to use virtual reality in stimulating and creative ways. Its control and the "abstract" of some puzzles can be scary, but the trip is well worth it.

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.
Another Fisherman’s Tale is every bit as worthy of your time as the first.
The strong point of Another Fisherman's Tale certainly lies in the narrative. Indeed, in the metanarrative. The puzzles are not a miracle, and it almost seems that the developers have calibrated the duration of the game to avoid excessive repetitions. The two or three central chapters are spectacular and in practice alone would be worth the price of admission.

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.
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.
Another Fisherman's Tale proved to be a sequel that lived up to expectations. The duration of the adventure finally does justice to the value of the production, while the new mechanics based on the ability to manipulate the body of the protagonist guarantee a fresh and original approach to solving puzzles.
