Nagging control issues aside, A Fisherman’s Tale is a charming PlayStation VR game that I found to be a total joy to experience - the same joy I felt playing Astro Bot: Rescue Mission. As far as first-person virtual reality experiences go, this makes the medium so worthwhile. Shooting zombies and exploring derelict space stations is fun in VR but could easily be reproduced and playable as a regular console title. I couldn’t fathom playing A Fisherman’s Tale without VR and experiencing the same feeling of wonder and delight. Consider this an essential addition to your PSVR library next to Beat Saber, Moss, and Astrobot: Rescue Mission.
A Fisherman's Tale is a very original adventure game with a few good puzzles. It is very charming and offers a good hint system to keep you from getting stuck.

Maybe a tad short. But a great game with very unique ideas. Very memorable

Really nice and well polished game for VR from the creators of Skyworld and Arizona Sunshine. Personally I like this one at most.

A Fisherman's Tale has some fantastic puzzles and great level design, but the movement manages to ruin some of the puzzles.
A Fisherman’s Tale is a typical puzzle-solving first-person VR experience that stands a cut above with a good-quality gimmick that doesn’t overstay its welcome. It barely stays long enough to finish saying hello, but it has the wit, charm, and novelty to make it worth the single sitting it’s asking for.
An original puzzle game that creatively plays with dimensions while telling a good story at the same time. The setting is original, the voice acting is excellent and the puzzles are creatively designed. The game only lasts for about two hours though and the controls feel a bit nervous for some reason. You'll regularly and unwillingly drop items often too which is frustrating and hampers the overall pacing of the game.
As a module for showing off your PlayStation VR’s wonders to family and friends, even non-gamers, it makes a fine choice, but players whose imaginations will be rightfully lured and sparked by its dollhouses-within-dollhouses routine will feel shorted by the time the credits roll.
A Fisherman’s Tale tells a charming story with surprising depth that is unfortunately marred by technical issues. Within its brief playtime, the game’s story packs in enough thought provoking content that I found myself thinking about it for days after playing. Though I’m not recommending A Fisherman’s Tale, I wouldn’t blame you if you decided to play it anyhow.
One of my best VR experiences so far. Played it with a buddy of mine and finished it in one session. Too bad it didn't last longer but what a ride it was. Puzzles in different dimensions, unique look and the whole atmosphere just **** you right in. Hopefully the developers will continue down this path cause i love IT.

Schönes, kurzes Spiel mit toller deutscher Synchronisation, aber teilweise auch sehr fummelig in der Steuerung.

Summary Bend and twist reality in A Fisherman’s Tale, the mind-bending VR puzzle adventure game in which being turned upside down and inside out is not merely a play on words.
