Second GOTM finished for August 2023. This one felt like an improvement in every facet over the first iteration, except for unfortunately the fishing. Where you only had to bring the fish to the surface in the first game, you have to reel them all the way across to the top-right of the screen in this one. Wouldn't be so bad, if the game didn't assign an arbitrary distance each time regardless of where you cast. Catching the big ones later in the game can become a 10-minute ordeal for each fish. Otherwise, the graphics, sound, rod and tackle system, and maps have all been improved. You can even catch bugs, pick flowers, and dive for sea creatures. Very fun, just wish they hadn't changed the underwater fishing gameplay.
