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.

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.
