nah, @@danreyes736 - IGN took a long time to get this review out for some reason. I’ve been casually playing this one for weeks. It’s excellent! Highly recommended!
How’s the replayability? Also does it have room for a completionist to go and catch everything the encyclopedia has in it? Just purchased it and within an hour I’m hooked and wanting more.
I was genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed this little indie game. It exudes a peaceful vibe as you sail into the unknown, discovering new NPCs and places to explore. Despite its initial scariness, the game's mechanics are easy to grasp. Although it may feel slow at first, it becomes incredibly enjoyable once you acquire certain abilities. The sound design is superb (I highly recommend wearing headphones). Upgrading your ship is undeniably rewarding and satisfying. It's not overly long, but it certainly delivers an enjoyable experience. The Oilrig Rig DLC is worth it and the Pale Beach was nice too. Some Nitpicks would be that I wish you would have more markers to mark the map with different icons(it feels very limited) A way to look backward instantly The spyglass sensitivity needed to be slower at default
Have yet to finish it but really enjoying it although it does have some issues. Really excited to see a potential sequel that doubles down on more content like a bigger map, more varied loot and mini games, and a more interesting gameplay loop
@IGN reviewer, idk if you played it when you were younger, but Dredge strongly reminded me of the old flash game "Motherload". Where the game truly is focused on the methodical job- in the case of Motherload, being a miner on Mars- and it's more an underlying ominous vibe than anything else.
This is a really weird review. Almost all of it just describes the mechanics of the game, and then right at the end, he offers a bunch of actual opinions. But several of them seem to come out of nowhere, and the score feels completely arbitrary as a result.
going to try the game. Significantly descriptive verbiage plus apparently a time limit equals me checking to see if I'm accidentally playing it at 1.5 speed. Either be more concise, or take more time for the verbosity. Id rather the latter.
Lack of fishing time. Not combat. I'm guessing he's saying he'd like a fight and an occasional broken line. Which is cool, it would ad an extra dynamic.. like proper lure or bait.. instead of Rod
I watched a trailer for this when it came out and it didn’t interest me at all so I put this game off for ages finally played it and it’s a easy 9 from me I’m really enjoying it fairplay 👍
"Lack of combat" That's like saying that Call of Duty lacks fishing lmao
It does tho
But you can go fishing in Cold War
@@Phil_Official fr?
@@DenzelWashington. yea in the Outbreak mode
Why do people think every game needs combat
"lack of combat"... Well that's the point of cosmic horror
Exactly. 'Lovecraftian' means 'Pick a fight and you die. Horribly.'
@@rc1897 I've heard people compare it to sunless sea which has a lot of similar elements. Haven't played it myself though.
@@rc1897 Sunless Sea and Darkwood, although the latter takes place solely on land.
@@transdenominationaland there's combat in dw
He never complained about the lack of combat, just described it. You people are actually much worse than IGN ever was, Jesus...
"lack of combat" as a negative in a non combat game
IGN does it again
And meaningful customization. Give it a rest they gave it an 8 my man.
@@ZachLikesSnacks “i already pay you 1000 dollars for a 1500 job, give it a rest my man” same vibe
Finished it last night and it’s marvelous. Both endings are great, the mix of relaxing fishing and intense survival is so well done. Truly fantastic.
How did you beat it so fast? Wasn’t it just released?
nah, @@danreyes736 - IGN took a long time to get this review out for some reason. I’ve been casually playing this one for weeks. It’s excellent! Highly recommended!
Anyone suggest games for someone who loves dredge???

It's a fantastic game and no one can tell me any different.
great game way too short imo
@@freshcut6250 yeah teh game was great but ending def felt rushed.
Its Not bad but by any means not great. Change my mind
Is nice but nothing more, the ending is plain
@@reviewreviews5908
You have bad taste then 🤣🤣 (jk)
This game is so unique and refreshing to play. Deserves way more praise and recognition tbh.
So excited to see this game getting so much love! Just beat it last night, what a great creepy / cozy experience
hey, do you see any replayability value? thanks in advance!
@@mdouglasblanco there's two endings but both can be done on the same save but there is plenty to do if your someone who loves to 100% games
This game is actually amazing for what it is. 9.5/10 for me
Do you like it better theb dave the diver?
Indeed a ferry impressive game, can't wait to try it.
booooo
here's a like
Ayyyyyyy
@@brello316 Ayyyyyyyyyyyyy
Imma wait until it's on sail.
@@CornyBumAyyyyyyyy
Can’t believe this or dave the diver didn’t get more love at game awards.
Loved this game! Got the platinum trophy and enjoyed every minute of it.
Same here! Amazing game!
Absolutely loved this game. GoTY contender as far as I'm concerned. Incredible.
Decent but GOTY is a big stretch
INDIE GAME OF THE YEAR😊
Lots of similarities with Sunless Sea. Can’t wait to play this!
Really solid chill game. Started to lose my attention in the final 2 areas but would love to see them work on a 2nd game
Game is a masterpiece. Buy it and don't listen to any of the gripes. It's a truly unique experience
"Buy it, because we advertising it and make mystery trailers".
What's the plot tho?
@@valentinarmenta4982 he just told you
One of my favourite games of this year, completely out of nowhere!
Really makes you feel like a dredge
the reviewer could play tetris and say lacks combat..5/7..smh
lack of combat? its a fishing game...
Get some pirate dlc going
Travesty to not give this game a 9 or a 10 imo. Easily in the running for favorite game of the year.
Giving this game only an 8 when it’s better than most of the AAA games in the last few years is criminal.
I'm only a minute in but this has a boat...it's got a little something for everyone. 8 out of 10
This game is very satisfying. It’s perfect for Switch in handheld mode.
Wish we had more creative games like this instead of the constant empty and tedious sandboxes with endless markers on the map. Little gem of a game

A way to look backward instantly
The spyglass sensitivity needed to be slower at default
beautiful game, my only complain is the fishing system, for a game about fishing i'd expect a better/ more fun fishing system
loved this game! Might be my favorite of 2023
Have yet to finish it but really enjoying it although it does have some issues. Really excited to see a potential sequel that doubles down on more content like a bigger map, more varied loot and mini games, and a more interesting gameplay loop
How does this game compare to Dave the Diver? Highly enjoyed that game and looking for another.
What is it you wanna compare, it's two different games.
Can you keep fishing after you beat the main storyline?
Yes
@@Wylie288 thank you for that
Probably one of best games I’ve played recently. Super satisfying with really subtle plot and character development
One of my favorite games of the year

It's not about boat size, it's about motion in the ocean
My favourite game since RDR2. Would like to see more of it.
really? level so high? what's so special
@@pietroba2037 everything
Anyone playing on Switch? Does it run well?
ROCK THE BOAT, DON'T ROCK THE BOAT BABY, ROCK THE BOAT 🎶
Is it so hard to upload 4K reviews? Would be nice to see reviews in Full Resolution!
what is "full resolution". are you the inventor of this technology?
@@islalamuerte7378 bro ur a clown. "upload in 4k so we can see full resolution stfu goofy
finished it two days ago. super fresh game!
So Many Creepy Giant Mysterious Creatures inside Sea!!! 🖐🏻😨🖐🏻
Wait, you mean you didn’t modify your fishing rods to sniper configuration?! Damn…
Somethings are simply impossible to fight.
Please review Shardpunk Veminfall for PC
Enjoyed this more than the latest “triple A” games. Congrats to the developer!

IGN's level of idiocy is much less surprising than DREDGE's lack of combat 😂
this game and Dave the Diver have me catching a lot of fish lately
I'm on the fence about getting this game🤨 Looks charming but I'm not sure if ill get bored
There is always cracked games xd
Fishing is like sleeping
It’s a 10 for me
Can you play on pc - aka without a controller?
Amazing video! ❤🎉😊
Lack of combat?
cool! it does remind me of sunless sea, but it looks more balanced
Look at this fishing game, shame you cant shoot the fish - IGN
shame you can't hand to hand combat the fish 🐠
an oversimplified fishing simulator with a smidge of lovecraftian influence
I wish it actually took place in the Cthulhu mythos, rather than merely inspired by it. Imagine actually encountering Cthulhu in the game
Lack of combat might be a valid concern, if it was a combat game. Did you make the same comment on games like animal crossing?
I know you know this, but the lack of combat is the point of a Lovecraftian cosmic horror game
I wish the reviewer understood this
Lack of fishing time. Not combat. I'm guessing he's saying he'd like a fight and an occasional broken line. Which is cool, it would ad an extra dynamic.. like proper lure or bait.. instead of Rod
No one:
IGN: every game is now a 7 or 8
I'll give it a try on my Steam deck
Perfect on deck 🙏
@@markdillon9588
Debating on getting a steamdeck in the future, but it's also amazing on switch
@Definitely Disappointed wait for the ROG Ally Steam Deck is great, but soon they may make another Steam Deck version due to all the competition
@@markdillon9588 thanks
waiting for an update
Anybody else think the reviewer was about to say, "I'm Kirk Hamilton..."?
had it with the puns after the first 3o seconds
Spot on review, totally an 8. 👍
I've heard great things about this. I've always loved tetris inventory too!!
When the review for tlou1 pc?
Review brought to you by PlayStation?
This game rocks. $25, but you're getting a $60 experience.
They gave it an 8/10 thank me later
The edit at 1:58 sounds so off 😂
What’s up with the eyeball?
It's your sanity meter. If it's red things start to get a little bit crazy.
Cosmic horror chique
8 is a valid point
gotta catch em all
Best game I’ve played in years.
Alright this is my next game 💪🏻 Between this and the dumb fun I’m having with Dead Island I’m set for the next month
What about the new Zelda???
I watched a trailer for this when it came out and it didn’t interest me at all so I put this game off for ages finally played it and it’s a easy 9 from me I’m really enjoying it fairplay 👍
It’s a surprise 8! Insane!
Not every game needs combat.
Love this game 😁
Is there an endgame of this games
I’m thinking about to buying this but it looks boring.
Awesome art style.
"Revelled in how quickly they were able to pick up the mechanics" - did you give it to a toddler?
This game really makes you FEEL like a rod.
Need more of these kind of games. Masterpiece
Lack of combat in a fishing game?
Who the hell hired this guy?
RIGHT?😅
Did you just say plethora
Hidden 💎 at that retail.
Go get it.
Man I can't STAND when professional writers pronounce "plethora" incorrectly lmao
literally just downloaded this
It's an 8
9 at least
Thanks IGN, it was a really ferry view ;)
wow guys, it's hard to understand what he is saying. Looks like he is at 1.5x speed
Judge Dredge?
Needed a relaxing game and definitely found it
Dredge looks so satisfying
You pronounced plethora wrong. And cartilaginous
It got a 8
Reminds me of flame in the flood
its sunless sea
