    The game has a terrible setting and story. The fish get special bread which probably gives them intelligence and they are separated. Our fish is overcoming obstacles in the clunkiest way possible in order to get into a larger area of water. There's a lot of barriers in levels and particularly one in the sewer was annoying.

Our fish is overcoming obstacles in the clunkiest way possible in order to get into a larger area of water. There's a lot of barriers in levels and particularly one in the sewer was annoying. I was doing the right thing over and over because this game is linear and there's no way to get lost. The fish just didn't want to jump out of the water high enough.

    I finally had enough when I went through level 3 and I was stuck in a jar bottle which requires inverse rotating so I managed to get at the end of the platform near the checkpoint, parts of the platform fell apart and there was created a path of the edge, only it wasn't the way of my objective. This is a frustrating design.

    The game is more frustrating than fun and feels very little rewarding. Controlling fish in the objects is clunky, but there is simply no way around it. The camera also doesn't help well to see what's below, you have to go to the very edge.    … Expand

    As one of the most frustrating games ever made, I Am Fish is a special kind of awful. With horrible traversal, unforgiving physics, inconsistent challenge, and terrible stealth sections, it is about as fun as getting your head stuck in a fishbowl.

    I am Fish is a surprisingly fun game, with great ideas and a solid execution. A bit limited, but original and enjoyable.

    I Am Fish can be a delightful and imaginative romp, especially when Bossa Studios gets creative with its level design and world building. Whether players experience that whole world will depend on how much of a tolerance they have for the game's painfully strict physics, which can become enraging, especially when combined with the game's camera. But, even with its issues, Bossa Studios deserves credit for putting something whimsically different together while also combining it with a heartwarming story about fish friendship.
