The different mechanics all link together well too. Controlling the ship feels smooth, ensuring that every hull breach was my own stupid fault. Though it wouldn’t have worked if DREDGE wasn’t so well-rounded. My hubris ended with me limping back home, praying to whatever God oversees small fishermen.ĭREDGE isn’t scary exactly, but seeks to get under the skin. I watched as a shadow of my ship came towards me, only for it to morph into a giant angler fish and disable my engines. I dismissed this at first, thinking it a figment of a panicked mind, until I blasted my horn and it echoed back out of the fog. The darkness makes us panic, causing us to see shapes in the fog. Trust me on this: upgrade the boat’s lights. What’s more, when the sun goes down the veil is lifted completely. Mutated fish start popping up early on and catching a fish with a set of bloody, human teeth isn’t something you forget in a hurry. Most islands I visited because I’d exhausted the pools of nearby fish and materials, rather than strictly following my quest log.īut, lest we forget, we can never fully relax.
This, and the main story quest, encourages exploration of the surrounding islands. Space in the hold is limited, so you’ll naturally navigate to the pricier fish. Different fish require different rods or nets, so the more money you pour into your boat, the more you can get from fish. Once you’ve paid off your debt, you’re free to spend the cash on upgrading your boat. You catch fish, at various depths, then haul them back to the nearest fishmonger to get your gold. The main gameplay loop helps with this as well. Paired with the gentle music, the sight of leaping dolphins and the ambient sounds, it’s easy to get into a relaxing groove. There’s a painted feel to the graphics that makes sailing into the deep blue a continuously enjoyable experience. A sweet deal, frankly, because DREDGE‘s scenery is gorgeous. Thankfully, we’re rescued and handed a new ship, with the instructions to haul in enough fish to pay off the debt. His illustrious new career begins with him crashing into some jagged rocks. DREDGE starts with a fisherman taking an angling job in the town of Greater Marrow.
