Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
52 of 209 sampled reviews raised it
Really cool mechanics that allow you to modulate your own difficulty level and get yourself in trouble pushing that risk/reward balance
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
16 of 209 sampled reviews raised it
This is my favorite roguelike, it just works so well, has a lot of content and variety of weapons, and having you heal by collecting low level enemy bones is great.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

The game in its current state is very nice, even if I feel it's criminally underrated: simple art style has its charm, there are a lot of fun jokes and while some species of fish are basically "same fish, but yellow", it doesn't make the game less enticing.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
6 of 209 sampled reviews raised it
The story attached is interesting but not nearly enough to get past how annoying the anchor is or how underpowered every weapon feels.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

A little grindy especially early on but Fish Fear Me offers a lot of pure, unadulterated, stupid-fun accompanied by a banger (albeit limited) soundtrack!!
