this game captured my attention from the moment it was released. i really like fishing games :) and the graphics are really cute, even tho theyre pixel art. however, the game is really fun at first. but when the story is finished, it will be repetitive and will be a bit boring for some players. well thats not a big deal. i still like this game, coz i dont have to worry about my hands smelling fishy when cleaning fish scales lol thank you to the developer, coz the fish references are not fictional but according to real ones, and there are fun facts about these fish. so i know many types of fish that i have never heard of and this is knowledge for me <3

I have 100% scale the depths over 12 hours of gameplay it was truly great. first the negatives 1. game progression feels easy and very fast and unrewarding 2.when customizing your character the heads don't match all head accessories 3. some baits feel very unnecessary and are there just to fill up space now the positives 1. gameplay loop feels simple and satisfying 2. scaling fish feel very simple and calming 3. PEAK pixel art just great 4. fishing controls feel great 5. secrets and arifacts are scattered everywhere 6. feels very complete and well made reminds me of hollow knight with stuff to do 7. baits feels very good when getting the right combinations overall you should buy a perfect 9.7 out of 10 ok bye

Not sure why people are complaining about this being repetitive... in the game synopsis it literally says this is a gameplay loop. This is a repetitive game by design, they don't hide that fact at all when you're reading about it. That being said, this is a fun gameplay loop. I get sucked into it easily. I don't mind having to reupgrade things in the next, new area, but maybe I'm a masochist? Unknown.

tl;dr Scale the Depths has a simple but satisfying gameplay loop, with incremental gameplay that unfortunately in some places feels a little rough, but is overall a game I thoroughly enjoyed. And honestly? There's a free demo. 100%, go play that, and I recommend a purchase as well once you've done so. The Yappy Version There's a lot I love about Scale, but I do have a few nitpicks, performance issues, and frustrations, as listed below. Pros: [*]Controlling the line around underwater feels like I have a lot more direct and immediate control over what I want to get than many fishing games, and feels pretty smooth in general -- especially with a few upgrades under your belt. [*]Upgrades are straightforward to understand and all good, meaning you can customize for whatever you feel you need in that current moment. [*]Subjective, but I think the art style is great, and gets across the essence of every environment and fish without having the former be too distracting. [*]Subjective again, but I love the theming. There's some basic customers in every area, but there's also mythical creatures like kelpies, selkies, and so much more. I love seeing new customer critters pop up and discovering what else is wandering around and waiting for me to feed them. [*]Also subjectively, but every environment I've reached so far (two, admittedly, but seems to hold true from the previews too) looks really satisfying and the second area in particular has fantastic music that really makes it feel upbeat and enjoyable. [*]The de-scaling minigame is honestly just really satisfying IMO. It's simple, but just... I don't know how to explain it man, it just feels good to do. Same with the chopping. Cons: [*]Sometimes I get framedrops/performance hiccups specifically when the game zooms out on the chopping board to a larger fish. The legendary creature in zone 1 is particularly bad for this, and while it's only brief, it's still a little annoying and noticeable compared to the smooth gameplay elsewhere. [*]The vast majority of your upgrades seem not to travel with you from zone to zone (again, only at the second, but almost nothing transferred). This means that you go from being able to catch whatever you want and chilling out in one zone, to being almost powerless in the next. Money also doesn't transfer, so you can't just farm a bit more in the previous one to get a smoother start in the next. (Would be nice if it partially transferred; exchange rates being lowered by currency exchanges or something?) This is my biggest complaint about the game, because it's just frustrating to essentially have to restart completely in a new zone as if time you've spend maxing the previous zone means absolutely nothing . [*]Maybe it's just me, but I have trouble remembering some of the preferences of customers, or discovering some of them to begin with. You can go in and via a field manual, but that takes multiple clicks of opening the field manual, turning to the customers page, clicking the right customer, and only then is it displayed. That sounds pretty trivial, but if you're having to do it regularly, it gets pretty old pretty quick. It would be nice if, once discovered, an animal had a thought bubble or something to indicate the preferences you'd discovered. [*]Honestly, some of the fish cleaning minigames I just find annoying. (barnacles and parasites mostly.) It's not the end of the world, but it's a minor, subjective nitpick. I very, VERY much enjoyed my experience in Loch Ness (zone 1), but then had it plummet on realizing I had basically no progress at all carry over to zone 2. I do think I'll be back to enjoying it again after a couple upgrades, but that's definitely something I'd keep in mind if you're picking this game up. I hit that EASILY within an hour though, so you'll certainly be able to spend some time there within the 2h refund window if you aren't sure for yourself whether it will put you off or not. Conclusion I realize it probably looks like I have more negative criticisms than positive, but in all honestly, the majority of the negatives were very minor (except for the progress reset on zone switch, but I think I'll get over that), whereas the positives greatly outweigh those negatives. I've very much been enjoying Scale the Depths, and since there's a free demo to test for yourself and only a $10 price point even on the full game, I honestly recommend it whole-heartedly despite my nitpicks and criticisms.
