Dredge is an adventure RPG game from Black Salt Games. I’ve finished this game and had a really great time with it. At the game’s core is the fun and calming act of fishing for a fresh catch. The minigames used to accompany this act always felt rewarding and were fun to execute. While catching the same fish over and over gets repetitive, the variety of marine animals you’ll find and the engaging minigames attempt to help break the repetitiveness. Once you have your fish caught, it's time to store them in your hull. Similar to Resident Evil 4, your inventory has a limited number of slots to fit items. Using each slot to your advantage is how you can excel as an angler and get maximum profit. I loved this part of the game, and the Tetris-like organizing of the inventory was outstanding. Occasionally, repetitive fishing and monotonous navigation can drag the adventure down a bit, but not enough to warrant frustration. My favorite part of the title is its f...

Developer: Black Salt Games Publisher: Team17 Release: March 30th, 2023 Reviewed on: PC Also on: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch By: Evan1Sonic. This game might appear to some as just a relaxing fishing sim, but it has a panic-fueled Eldritch horror twist that you’ll find if you linger out late in the night. This horror backdrop is incredible and works surprisingly well with the gameplay to create a fantastic title that, while not completely free of flaws, balances a relaxing fisherman’s routine with eerie mysteries to great effect. The opening hours of Dredge showcase what this title does incredibly well: instilling dread. Along with your limited starter equipment, the locals of this sea warn you not to linger or navigate in the foggy darkness. You never know what monsters might be lurking in the water or what this surf will throw at you. It’s not as easy as avoiding the waters when it hits midnight, however. Sometimes the draw of one more nocturnal cat...
