Dredge Review

Dredge is a unique cocktail of opposing ideals. It blends the peaceful serenity of fishing, with the eldritch horror of a Lovecraftian nightmare. It makes sense, the ocean is already a pretty scary place, even without Cthulhu lurking beneath the surface. *Gideon's Bias* Review Copy Used: Yes Hours Played: 16+ Reviewed on: PlayStation 5 Fan of Genre: Partially Mode Played: Normal (Highest difficulty in the game) *Dredge Information* Publisher: Team 17 Type: Full Game Platforms: PC, Xbox Platforms, PlayStation 4/5 and Nintendo Switch. Genre: Open World, Adventure, Puzzle Price: $24.99 *Pros* Excellent puzzle adventure gameplay A great serene atmosphere during the day, with a tense spooky one at night Learning to survive against the eldritch horrors is fun Finding all the fish and aberrant species is addicting Every region has a unique identity Interesting and clever story Mini-games are fun *Cons* Dredge appears to be more of a simulation game than it is Simulation elements feel tacked on For a game about fishing, it isn't much of a focus Many mechanics feel wasted and pointless, such as time management and spoilage Dredge's economy is woefully broken to the that it feels superficial *Links* Website: https://gideonsgaming.com/ Patreon:   / gaminggideon   Kofi: https://ko-fi.com/gaminggideon Twitter:   / gideonsgaming   Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/gaminggideon...
