This friggin' game is awesome. Part fishing simulator, part lovecraftian nightmare -- this game is equal parts relaxing and casual and cerebral and challenging. I got so excited about the game I'm trying to 100% the achievements -- collecting all the different fish from the biomes, completing all the DLC adventures, side quests, experimenting with all the gear and artifacts, etc.

Upgrading your boat and exploring new areas is fun and exciting. Unlocking new mysteries and finding new quests is always fun and it seems there is always something to do -- I stayed up waaaay two late two nights in a row I got so engrossed.

The game has a "pokemon" aspect (gotta catch all the fish!) with abberations and exotic versions of some of them to make the hunt more exciting and engrossing. Interesting places and threats. Powers, tools and equipment to suit your playstyle -- and the calm of going on a fishing adventure always punctuated with a monstrous horror when you least expect it.

Dredge, although I did almost everything there is to do in about 40 game hours -- will likely be one of my great loves and all time favorites in gaming, and hope for more DLC in the future.

I recommend this game for anyone looking for a refreshing change from the regular grinds and distinct genres out on the steam store. Dredge is it's own thing and is does what it sets out to do elegantly and enjoyingly.

From humble squid fishing in a rickety boat to finding nightmare giant fish in a massive armored trawler, the progression and the journey was as fun as the game was in the moment. I am hard pressed to criticize it. It's just a diamond I'm glad I found.

highly recommended. It stole my heart.

This has been one of my favourite games to date honestly!!! I've been playing it every chance I get, and have been absolutely delighted with every single freaky looking fish abberation I catch!

The characters are also interesting, develop the plot well, and it somehow feels like I never want to leave this freaky ass place!!!

I'm working on 100%ing it at the moment, which definitely is a good sign as I don't tend to try 100% a game unless I'm really enjoying it! Especially when the achievements are as time consuming as the ones in this one!

A gorgeous game with a moving message.
