Tetramino is an improvement upon the Resident Evil 4 one, which I can't. So it's not a traditional like box or rectangle shape. It's a little bit about unusual shape and all the different things that you catch. They have increasingly unique shapes to them. Like a cod is like an L shape, but you might find an eel that's like a crazy S shape. To get everything in there in addition to like you need to carry a rod and the rod takes up space, your inventory. The whole map is like no loading like giant open world win waker.

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!
