    We will say the gameplay can become repetitive when you need to grind for cash or certain items. Additionally, managing the game's grid-based menus can be pretty fiddly. The remedy for both things is those all-important upgrades, which smooth out frustrations with cramped inventories or limited fishing capabilities. Despite any rocky waters, though, Dredge's rewarding progression and enjoyable premise keep it afloat.

It’s such a unique and interesting premise and so well executed that I had trouble putting it down. I mean, Lovecraftian horror fishing and exploration?! It sounded so strange on the tin that I had to try it especially for less than $30. I’m hooked.… Full Review »

    It lives to the hype.
