The world is massive and you can go in any direction. The combat was pretty fun but there was so much craft to get there that I just could not power through it. There are some clever gating systems to make sure that you don't go to places you shouldn't be at. You have the option to play their chapter and their chapter is just an hour long so it's very short. While the stories are like a bit familiar it kind of works because they don't have to spend a lot of time really setting up who these characters are.
Dredge is one of 2023's best surprises, a fishing adventure mixed with Lovecraftian horror. Don't worry though: it's not too scary. In fact, Dredge's much more interested in the fishing aspect than you might expect from a game marketed around cosmic terror. Plus, Plante has become obsessed with Octopath Traveler 2. How does someone who dislikes turn-based combat fall in love with this sort of game? And is it recommended for everyone or just people who love RPGs? All that and more on this week's Resties!
