89/100
Dredge is a fantastically twisted fishing horror full of charm. It snags in parts but still successfully reeled me in from start to finish. A beautifully dreary bite-sized mystery.

4.5/5 stars
Dredge makes sure to weave in gentle horrors that ensure you can never fully relax

8/10
Dredge's slow dive into Lovecraftian horror intermingles with its simple fishing and sailing mechanics to create an approachable boat management sim that's as unsettling as it is relaxing.

Get ready to get sucked in.
First day I ended up sinking ten hours into this game. Amazing little open world fishing game with mystery and suspense to keep things interesting.

Its fine...
I started out for the first few hours loving this game. The aesthetics, the mystery, the intriguing premise all were really doing it for me. The longer i played, and got used to the game play loop, and started understanding what the game wanted out of me, however, the luster began to fade pretty quick. Something about this game feels less like a game that requires anything out of you, and more like a slot machine or braindead rng collectathon. The entire gameplay loop amounts to nothing as you waste your time collecting this to upgrade that so you can get the next level fish or item, but none of it requires thought or skill. Youre just going to an area on the map, getting something, and bringing it back to the right spot to recieve a new item that helps you do the exact same thing just in a new area. I really wanted to like this game, and you might if you want a braindead timesink with zero friction. The only even remotely challenging aspect was the red fish in Devils Spine... which arent even a fun challenge, just a hindrance to completing your thoughtless task of collecting things. Glad i got it for free and didnt pay for it.
