THE FUSE

In a crowded field of games both about fishing and that have fishing in them, the simply named How to Fish has surprisingly managed to reel people in. As I write this, it’s got over 127k players on Steam, with a 24-hour peak of over 370k, and its numbers have only been steadily rising since it launched on August 20, with overwhelmingly positive user reviews. It sold over a million copies in two days. People are calling it (affectionately) the latest friendslop hit, a game to play with your buds where everyone can hang out and get real silly for hours.
