Fishing: Barents Sea puts you at the helm of your very own fishing boat, sending you out to explore the vast Norwegian sea in search of the best fishing zones. You start small, with a little boat inherited from your grandfather, then catch fish and earn money to fund upgrades and progressively bigger, better vessels, chasing your fishing dreams across the beautiful Barents Sea.
The simulation rewards learning and planning. You learn to catch different kinds of fish using various equipment aboard several boats, where every method is easy to learn but hard to master. Officially licensed Scanmar gear like door sensors and the TrawlEye gives you full control over your trawl, but you must stay under yearly quotas and plan every run, since twenty years of real weather data shape a realistic environment where fish schools move with the season and water temperature.
Life ashore matters too. You visit the harbor pub to hire crew or accept missions, and at port you can repair and upgrade ships, take out a bank loan, or stock up on supplies and bait. Exploring an open world that recreates the stunning landscapes of northern Norway, you rely on sonar, radar, and GPS to locate the richest catches. For PC players who enjoy authentic simulations, Barents Sea offers an atmospheric commercial fishing career.
