Expert anglers, can you name all of these videogames with fishing in them after seeing just one screenshot of a successful catch?

When it comes to finishing games in a timely manner, I've got two major weaknesses guaranteed to tack on dozens of unnecessary hours to my total playtime: snappy, satisfying card games, and fishing minigames of literally any caliber.

Want to keep testing your knowledge of gaming trivia? We've got loads more PC Gamer quizzes, on everything from healthbars to weird currencies to absurd patch notes.

I'm serious—I love fishing in most videogames. It can be the most notoriously finicky games, like the hellish fishing controls of Okami, or the more thoughtful and serene ones, like Cast 'n' Chill. I just want to sit somewhere on a dock or a boat and listen to the waves gently roll around me, only to be interrupted by the sounds of me furiously mashing whatever button reels in a bite.

Some of you are nodding along in agreement, because you're wise with good taste (and poor time management skills). As for the rest of you, I'm assuming you agree with my colleague Lauren's take on how fishing minigames are the worst. I'll have to sit you down for a stern talking-to later, but for now, I have a new quiz to deliver.

So here's the deal: Set aside some time, because I'm going to show you screenshots of fish from 21 games, and then you tell me what game that fish is from. You've got 16 minutes to see how many you can reel in. Good luck! And when you're done, let us know how you did.

Andrea has been covering games for nearly a decade, picking up bylines at IGN, USA Today, Fanbyte, and Destructoid before joining the PC Gamer team in 2025. She's got a soft spot for older RPGs and is willing to try just about anything with a lovey-dovey "I can fix them" romance element. Her weekly to-do always includes a bit of MMO time, endlessly achievement hunting and raiding in Final Fantasy 14. Outside of those staples, she's often got a few survival-crafting games on rotation and loves a good scare in co-op horror games.
