How to Fish is a co-op game about fishing in the most ridiculous way with explosive weapons, it's hilarious and now bigger and better. Check out my thoughts in the previous GamingOnLinux review.
More about it: It's a 1-4 player physics based fishing simulator. While drinking and boating you suddenly crash into a small island. To work your way back home you have to learn How to Fish. Starting off on a tiny barren island with nothing, you have to fish and then fight your catch to earn monies to get the keys to a little boat to continue exploring and earning more. It's stupid in all the best ways.

I played through the original content with friends the past few weeks, and had a blast all around (especially the first time we thought of piling up dynamite to alpha strike a boss, and someone fired into the pile after a retreating fish while a few of us were still standing in it 🧨💥🤣).
This game is hilarious. I second everything Liam wrote in his original review. I called an albatross boss with a tuna (itself a mini-boss we had to fight), and it proceeded to target me and only me the entire fight, which actually worked out pretty well as my friends poured lead into it while I ran around drawing its attention and dying and getting revived every 10 seconds or so. Then there was the time we threw a whale into a volcano, which led to it becoming a lava-spewing über-whale; we thought we were so smart standing atop the volcano around its caldera where the whale couldn't reach us, only for it to very definitely reach us and knock most of into the lava, which it took us a good half-hour to recover our items from before we were ready to fight it again.
We did figure out one hack for the piranha boss fight, though: do it from the boat, and it (and its thousands of spawnlings) can't catch up to you and mob you.
