Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.29/day in the week to Aug 14 → 0.57/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Very interesting idea for a game, but the execution is pretty rough. Pros: - You get to design aquariums (yay)! Cons: - Extremely hand holdy tutorial. I wanted to make my goldfish's home perfect, before the story moved on, but I was locked out of the store. - Difficult to control where items get placed in the tank and at what rotation. - Difficult to tell where in space an item is as you are holding it. This makes it easy to mistakenly place an item close to or far from the player. - Models and animation need some work. - Controls feel clunky and slow, even when compared to games like house flipper where chores are intentionally time consuming. All in all, I do not recommend purchasing the game at full price. The $16.00 price tag is too much. This feels like a $5.00 game. Something you can sink some casual time into before the controls inevitably frustrate you. Improvements: Hey developer! 👋 If you're reading this, good on you! I'd kill for a game like this- I LOVE designing aquariums in real life, but its expensive, space consuming, and time consuming. Having a virtual outlet for this hobby sounds like the perfect solution. All that said, I think this game could use a bit longer in the easy bake oven. It's undercooked, and it needs a bit more love. First: Fix the tutorial. The tutorial is the first impression your player is going to have with your game. It has to be good! The gold fish tank is a great start, but the way the tutorial locks you out of the store is very irritating. Additionally, by the end of the gold fish tank tutorial, you are instructed to sell a piece of decor. Once you sell that decor, though, your gold fish are unhappy 😢. I wanted so bad to fix their tank, but I couldn't because I couldn't access the store. Second: Introduce features incrementally. To avoid having a large tutorial with locked features, try incrementally adding features as the player progresses. For example, during the gold fish tutorial, consider having the parents provide everything the player needs - rocks, plants, filter, fish, etc. This removes the need for the store all together. Then, once the player gets the hang of the gold fish tank, introduce them to the Dad's salt water tank and the store. Third: Provide top-down, side, and/or isometric views of the aquarium. I struggled to get objects in the desired place so bad, it actually took a lot of the fun out of the game for me. If you could implement different view angles, snap grids, or anything really to make that easier, I think that could only ever be an improvement.

I really, really wish I could give this game a good review because I do love it, but unfortunately I can't in good conscience recommend a game that made me literally spend hours trying to repair my PC after a crash. This game managed to overrun the threads on my GPU and somehow in doing so corrupt my graphics driver. This was not a one off because the same issue occurred every time I attempted to play the game. A game crashing is one thing, a game crashing the whole PC is another. I would happily flip this review if I could play it without risking spending an hour reinstalling drivers.
Wer Fische und Aquarien liebt und gerne Teiche oder Aquarien einrichtet für den ist das Game zu 100 % zu empfehlen . Du kannst entspannt die Welt der Fische und Meere verwalten und genießen . Höhlen durchsuchen und auch unterwasser nach Skeletten von urzeitlichen Meeresbewohnern suchen und ein Museum damit einrichten . Die DLC s umfassen auch ansprechende Teich und Meeres Aufgaben die erfüllt werden können . Ich kann nur den Kauf des Games empfehlen !
i played this game quite a while ago and loved it but recently i cannot get the game to launch no matter what i try!
I absolutely LOVED Aquarist! I bought all the DLC's when they were on sale, and they were great. I 100%ed the game as well which was hard but not impossible! Highly recommend this game! :)
[h1]向日葵游戏评分【7/10】[/h1] 《Aquarist》是一款养鱼模拟游戏，它会手把手的教你怎么搭建鱼缸生态和维护，非常适合没有养过鱼或刚开始养鱼的新手。游戏包含关卡模式和沙盒模式，关卡模式是根据别人的需求搭建一个鱼缸，沙盒模式则是随心创造，两种模式的前提都是维护好鱼缸的生态，不要让鱼死了。 [h3]欢迎大家关注我们的鉴赏家：https://store.steampowered.com/curator/28763059[/h3] [h3]和你一起寻找好玩的游戏，快来关注我们吧~微信公众号“向日葵游戏”、官方微博“向日葵游戏评测”[/h3]
Ein ziemlich guter und umfangreicher Simulator mit richtig krassem Suchtfaktor ! Überraschend unterhaltsam, komplex aber chillig.. das hätte ich echt nicht erwartet. (Habe das Hauptspiel mit allen DLCs. Die DLCs sind wie ich finde, gute Erweiterungen) Man bastelt sich so seine Aquarien zusammen, kann Temperatur und PH-Wert beeinflussen, so wie es die gewählte Fischart besonders mag. Dann noch ein paar Pflanzen rein und Müll vom Flohmarkt, schon passt die Stimmung. Ach, Moment, komm, knüppel noch ein paar Funky LED Lampen drüber und wähle die Lieblingsfarbe deines schlausten Fisches (hö,hö) Das befüllen des Aquariums, wird mit einer Art Minispiel gemacht. Man nimmt Schaufel und Beutel um das Granulat reinzuschaufeln, füllt einen Eimer mit Wasser und schüttet ihn ins zukünftige Fisch-York. (ZEN) Fische unterteilen sich in Pflanzen-/Fleischfresser und Süß-/Salzwasser Arten. Jede Art hat ihre eigenen Bedürfnisse, nur wenn diese erfüllt sind, pflanzen sich die Fische fort. Hast du dein Aquarium fertig, kannst du Kunden auf deine Fischlein und Aquarien loslassen um richtig fett Fisch-Money zu generieren. Damit kannst du dann immer mehr Kram und Verkaufsräume freischalten, YAAAAAIII ! Die Verkaufsräume lassen sich dann auch noch nach belieben pimpen. Es gibt Verkaufsflächen freizuschalten und andere hilfreiche Dinge blubb blubb und so...man wird jedenfalls durch ein kleines Questsystem durch das Spiel geführt. Man besucht so auch verschiedene Settings mit einer kleinen eigenen Mission, feine Sache ! Ich hätte NIE gedacht, daß mir dieses Spiel gefallen würde, Jetzt denke ich ernsthaft darüber nach mir selbst ein Aquarium ins Wohnzimmer zu stellen...
cant even load it up just black screens has been like it for a year
It was interesting to be able to have to get the temperature and food right which was really fun. it was so satisfying to clean and decorate the aquarium's. i loved it, It's so much fun! out 10 I'd give it an 8 no 8.5 to 9. this game was what actually made me want a seahorse and other fish i would of hated otherwise. ;)
[h1]《Aquarist》：养鱼佬狂喜[/h1] [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45932802/]关注小红瓶，回血在当下点击关注 小红瓶游戏评鉴组[/url] [h2]前言[/h2] 又一款水族馆模拟游戏，游戏于22年上线，历经4年的更新，本作虽然仍有诸多缺点，但是已经变得越来越成熟了。 [h3]玩法机制[/h3] 在本作中，玩家需要努力经营一家水族馆店，从一个个水族箱开始，丰富的鱼类、珊瑚、藻类以及装饰品。让一条条鱼亲自入住你的水族箱，建造、更新、管理、观察，为水族箱中的居民创造一个平衡和安全的生态系统。进而让水族馆在小镇上一步步扩大立足，最终成长为一个“水族馆帝国”。 游戏在经营方面里加入l回收机制。对机器组件翻新、转售旧设备，不仅能为店铺节约开支，还传递出了环保的理念。 玩家必须详细了解鱼类知识，这箱子里的一个个大爷可不是好伺候的：从温度、环境到营养、水质，甚至还有ph值，都需要玩家认真把控，就连水族箱里的砂石都需要玩家手动倒进去。 不只是鱼，玩家还面临着诸多外界的问题：空余的时间要拿去处理难缠的客户与复杂的任务。好在这是有回报的，让玩家有资本去解锁更多珍稀物种或升级店面空间。 [h3]美术风格[/h3] 制作组显然把握住了水景美学的精髓。站在水族箱前，透过玻璃折射的光影，看着水草在水流下的微微摆动、底层砂石颗粒的破碎质感，都渲染得十分细腻，彷佛是在现实中亲眼所见。搭配上游戏中舒缓的配乐，给玩家带来了巨大的沉浸感，很容易让人忘了时间。 [h3]其他部分[/h3] 水族箱缺乏一个自动喂食器，当后期我的水族箱数量上来后，一想起需要逐个检查水族箱的喂食情况就令人头大。这让操作变得无意义繁琐起来。 游戏的中文翻译实在是非常差，比之连机翻都不如。相比之下我甚至希望作者能用用ai，至少ai不会把电鳗翻译成电动鲇鱼。 [h2]总结[/h2] 作为一款水族馆游戏，它是合格的，如果你是这方面的新手，甚至能让你学会如何养鱼。以游戏史低24的价格，性价比还是不低，推荐入手。 [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45932802/]欢迎加入: 小红瓶游戏评鉴组[/url]
