It's interesting because the game that you're describing basically doesn't really exist anymore. It wasn't so much like being able to type in whatever I wanted and get a response. But theoretically an AI could come up with a hundred varieties of that thing without a human being knowing it. What surprised me was how many working people in this industry were not as freaked out about it. You know stuff that as we're seeing all game developers are exploring is allowing for scale in ways that weren't previously possible. Also allows for like a million different errors to come up that weren'tPreviously possible.
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!
