Moonglow Bay is set along the Eastern Canadian coastline during the 1980s and offers players a diverse and emotionally charged story, complemented by a relaxing, slice-of-life fishing RPG. You play as a rookie angler, struggling to fulfil your partner’s final wish by keeping a business afloat in the face of impending bankruptcy. Whether playing solo or with a friend in drop-in-drop-out local co-op, you’ll need to cook your catch of the day, then sell a variety of recipes to upgrade your shop, gear, and fishing boat. Combining a playful voxel art style with a sumptuous soundtrack, your journey is split into several distinct story arcs featuring a fully-inhabited town to traverse and the potential for epic encounters with the rumoured Mystical Monsters of Moonglow. With your journal and rod in hand, explore the furthest reaches of the ocean, from frigid glaciers to boiling geysers, and learn to cast nets, set traps and fish through ice, documenting over 100 varied aquatic species while uncovering the secrets of Moonglow Bay.

I really enjoyed this game. I was really on the fence based on the reviews on Steam, due to glitches and mechanics of the game, which is fine if they were old reviews, but these were recent. I didn't experience anything that people were complaining about. The worst glitch I saw was a flying raccoon, which I thought was a bonus...
I definitely recommend a controller, it's difficult to use a keyboard with this game, especially for the cooking mini-game, but I thought the controls/handling was just fine beyond that.
Overall, I think this was a great game, I could easily see myself replaying this game in a year or two, it's very relaxing like a Story of Seasons/Stardew Valley or Animal Crossing game.

The fishing part of the game is pretty chill, and the cooking part made me eventually quit the game.
Enjoyed it for a decent bit, then played it to try to finish it, and eventually just gave up.
Ele tem a opção de pronome neutro na tradução, as vezes esse sisteminha buga e os personagens começam a se referir a você de forma errada. Isso não atrapalha o gameplau, mas fica estranho.
O que atrapalha mesmo são os controles no teclado e mouse, não custava nada terem deixado um bom layout já de padrão. Por mais que você arrume nas configurações, é bem chatinho arrumar, já que algumas teclas conflitam com outras.
Agora as mecânicas são bacanas, da pra dirigir o barco, pescar de diferentes formas, cozinhar e expandir seu negócio. Se você está sem ideia pra um calmante em forma de jogo, essa é uma opção que pode ser legal, se você fizer um esforço no começo.
