DREDGE

[h1]Pesca lovecraftiana [/h1] En primer lugar, aquí volvemos con una tanda de reseñas después de no publicar en un tiempo, la primera sobre Dredge. Dredge es un juego de simulación de pesca que va mucho más allá de la simple captura de peces. Llegas como nuevo pescador a un pequeño pueblo costero y deberás ganarte la vida faenando en el mar y vendiendo el pescado para mejorar tu barco o repararlo. Sin embargo, a medida que explores te darás cuenta de que hay algo oscuro detrás de todo lo que rodea al archipiélago donde navegas. Conocerás a curiosos personajes que te contarán sus historias, pequeñas pistas para entender mejor que es lo que está pasando ahí. Algunos de ellos te pedirán que les ayudes y puede que te ofrezcan recompensas la mar de interesantes. (perdón por el chiste) Navegarás por cinco zonas, con biomas diferenciados y especies únicas. Además, el juego cuenta con un manual en el que ver todos los especímenes que capturas y cuales te faltan (algo así como una pokédex de peces), por lo que tiene un cierto componente de coleccionismo. El juego tiene secretos, para los que deberás explorar mucho, tanto de día como de noche, aunque al ponerse el sol empezarán a ocurrir cosas extrañas en el mar de las que prefiero no hablar para no quitarle misticismo. Solo diré que el juego presenta una marcada inspiración de H.P. Lovecraft, así que no deja a nadie indiferente y menos con la conclusión de su historia. ¿Te gusta la pesca, el terror o la exploración? Dredge es entonces para ti. Y si te quedas con ganas de más el juego cuenta con dos expansiones para ampliar su contenido. En caso de que le des una oportunidad, te deseo que llegues a buen puerto.

A game for players who like plugging away and grinding through fetch quests. Still, it's compelling: if you'd asked me if I would spend 43 hours playing what is essentially a series of fishing mini-games, I would have laughed. The Lovecraftian horror is what brings you back.

Very atmosphreric, cozy, kinda horror like which I like. Love it

The overall of this game is great. The puzzle is not very complicated, so it's pretty easy to get through everything. The graphic is also pretty nice, especially the wave and the fish's art design. Although sometime I wish we could pin point the map and it'd tell us where to go but I guess it's a better experience to get there by yourself with the provided map(If there's this function in the game already then I'm sorry cause idk how to do that but if there's none this is just my opinion!).

For a game about Fishing and the Deep, the Game’s lore and NPCs are pretty..shallow.. Fun game but I wish some NPCs weren’t just a one quest deal, would love to see how things from the DLC or Late-game affect certain characters or the world

很有沉浸感，吓死我了

Its super duper fun DONT GO TO GALE CLIFFS SCARY MONSTER

Mmmm... fish.

If you don't know what the "Cozy Horror" subgenre is then Dredge gives a great example. It lets you approach situations calmly and at your own pace while still mainly putting pressure on the creepy elements. It's less about trying to unsettle the player and much more about creating an atmosphere to set the mood. With that said, I will admit the game doesn't quite succeed in that regard a hundred percent of the time. There's A LOT of reliance on randomly occurring events for the horror and while they can occasionally catch the player off guard, they quickly grow stale and become little more than an annoyance. Personally I am much more engaged by the very few scripted horror sequences that properly predict the player and their responses, I only wish there were more. In terms of gameplay it manages to stay simple while also consistently mixing it up by introducing new gimmicks that never feel unintuitive or unfamiliar. The fishing aspect is pretty basic but everything around it is fine tuned to a high standard and ends forming what is a fishing game with surprisingly little frustrating RNG mechanics. Yes, the entire game is essentially a collection of fetchquests but through the ambiance and the optimizing you're allowed to partake in it rarely ever gets mindless. It's a solid package that lets you wind down while somehow keeping you on edge, try it if it looks thrilling.

Great game
