The odd denizens of Dredge breathe life into a strange world, while also providing tasks to send you out to sea. It’s quickly apparent that something is amiss in this world, and it’s not only affecting the wildlife, but the humans as well. What starts off as a simple and relaxing time management simulation, of sorts, becomes a lot more interesting once the sun sets and the panic starts to creep in – when the fisherman becomes the prey. Dredge might not feature an incredible storyline or genre-defining gameplay mechanics – fishing is just a handful of simple minigames – but the game’s unique style and gameplay loop will keep you coming back for more, over and again. It always manages to find this balance between creepy and relaxing, maintaining it’s unique character and style. It can be playing both in short burst, and long play sessions. It’s definitely worth checking out.
Shapez takes away the stress factors in game's like Factorio, by eliminating time/part limits, which brings a unique dynamic to this genre that sets it apart. This allows you to relax, and simply focus on your builds. Couple this with the simple/clean minimalist visual style, and smooth electronic soundtrack, and the game's mood is set just perfectly. If you get into Shapez, which I highly recommend, use the early Hints, and always focus on the Upgrade paths alongside the main level requirements. It's clear this is the way the game is meant to be played, and it really adds a lot of content to the game - expanding your factory's capabilities (and your building skills) in the process.
