Dredge is a unique cocktail of opposing ideals. It blends the peaceful serenity of fishing, with the eldritch horror of a Lovecraftian nightmare. It makes sense, the ocean is already a pretty scary place, even without Cthulhu lurking beneath the surface.

**Pros**

Excellent puzzle adventure gameplay

A great serene atmosphere during the day, with a tense spooky one at night

Learning to survive against the eldritch horrors is fun

Finding all the fish and aberrant species is addicting

Every region has a unique identity

Interesting and clever story

Mini-games are fun

**Cons**

Dredge appears to be more of a simulation game than it is

Simulation elements feel tacked on

For a game about fishing, it isn't much of a focus

Many mechanics feel wasted and pointless, such as time management and spoilage

Dredge's economy is woefully broken to the that it feels superficial
