Dredge Changed My Life. Full Game Review
Black Salt Games, a small indie studio based in New Zealand released their game, Dredge, on March 30th, 2023 on Steam, Xbox, Playstation, and Switch. This game initially caught my eye with its simplistic gameplay mechanics.
The game is set in an island archipelago made up of 5 regions with small villages and other various locations scattered across the map. You start in the center of the map in Greater Marrow and as the game progresses through the storyline you go to increasingly more remote regions ending in ancient volcanic ruins. The game features an open world so you can go explore any area you like at any time. Just maybe make sure you have a boat that’s capable of handling the conditions and challenges of that area.

6:15 Outro
Playing Dredge for the first time reignited my passion for gaming and the exploration that comes from new titles and challenges. In the past years, I felt many new release games all felt the same and that game publishers were a bit lazy when it comes to new games coming out. That is when I decided to look away from AAA titles and finally take the plunge into the world of Indie development.
I immediately found myself in a world that was away and apart from a reskin of the same copy-pasted first-person shooter game for the 20th time. I was in a world of water and fish, that required me to be alone and helpless to fight back against the monsters of the world and it was a breath of panic-filled air.
Dredge is a 2023 indie adventure fishing video game developed by New Zealand studio Black Salt Games and published by Team17. The player controls a fisherman, who encounters increasingly Lovecraftian creatures as he ventures out further into an open-world archipelago.
