The end game is very grindy, like, days and days spent just trying to get the last 5 achievements. But! It's still a very cute game and the idling aspect is interesting and increasingly customisable over time. I like all the different landscapes, the puzzles, and that you could navigate to quest solves through the menu itself, or even through the item you've just caught. I think the developer's put a lot of thought into this! I just wish there was a way to use all the "useless" money at the end to speed up completing the collection. I know we have lures! But I would happily pay like, 100,000 to guarantee a specific kind of fish, or even 1,000,000 with how much money I had just sitting around at the end. That's just me though! And I do recommend this other game otherwise, it was very cute, and I liked it a lot.
This is a very chill and nice game, which you can also idle in your background or play semi-actively (what I do). At least, for the final achievements, where I keep track of what fishes I catch and their rarities, The game has well implemented systems that I feel are missing in other similar games (looking at you, Cornerpond): baits for different ranks of fish, different rarities, aquariums to get certain items, a few questlines where you use said items and quite a few zones/biomes. They are very well made. If you like fishing idle games, this is a game for you. You can spend a lot of hours in it (I am still not done with all achievements) so it's a great bang for your buck game, even when not on sale.
That was the quickest ~42 hours I've spent to 100% a game. Idle Waters is done very well, minus some graphical issues, lack of use of space (despite it being a desktop companion game), and fairly anti-idle mechanics, but I really enjoyed this. It was quite intuitive, very relaxing, and pretty satisfying to complete the fish collection.
