Just finished getting both endings for #Dredge, a fun little #indie game where you fish and try not to get eaten by Lovecraftian leviathans, that I got obsessed with and played maybe...ten hours this weekend, which is a lot for me 😅 I played it as a demo a long time ago and loved it, and I'm glad to say it's even better than I remember it. Wonderful balance between tasks. I just wish the story had time to go into more depth...I mean I got the overall picture but I would have liked to know more, especially what exactly was happening in the "bad" ending 😏
Well, a self-limit on #Dredge comes from using the heavy Steam Deck. It's not a game I play well in my lap, and holding it closer to my eyes means my wrists hurt, so I'm forced to take breaks.
I'm getting Dan the new OLED, which is much lighter, for his bday. He says we'll swap, even tho I feel kinda bad about that? Like, the new one should be his, but yeah.
Lately I've been playing games in a quite limited range of genres, mostly souls-likes, metroidvanias, soulsvanias, and a few CRPGs and JRPGs. And I'm thinking that I would like to broaden the spectrum of what I play.
So can I ask you all in here to #ShareYourGames and tell me about some of the stuff you enjoy? I'll be happy to try some gems I would be missing otherwise :)
Have you taken a look at #Dredge? Probably makes my top five of the year. It's a really atmospheric Lovecraftian fishing game.
And #Storyteller which is a narrative puzzle game where you have to fit together little story boards to fit into the story being given to you. Absolutely adorable and also probably makes my top five.
Dredge now crashes every time I dock my boat. Ie, it’s unplayable. Ugh ugh ugh. Have left support req with team17 (publishers), & sent a slew of crash reports. (+ obv, tried every poss fix I could find).
Another guy I know had it crash and kill his save file, losing everything.
I would have ranked it super high, for its genre. Now? 1/5? The first couple of hours are fun. If you’re ok with paying for something you KNOW will burn you.

Day 2 of post-op recovery and finished the wonderful #DREDGE by Black Salt Games. What a great game! Might keep this one my deck and slowly mop up all the cheevos.
ADDITIONAL ABERRATIONS AND MORE SIGHTED AS A BRAND-NEW UPDATE DOCKS FOR ‘DREDGE’
The anticipated Photo Mode, new aberrations from the deep, a passive play option,
and more mark the second post-launch update to the critically acclaimed debut
from Black Salt Games.
#FFXVI could be my GOTY by complete surprise. I would have liked better performance, but still, the world is incredibly pretty, the setting draws me in, I'm invested in the story, and the combat system is great.
I can only recommend everyone to experiment with the skills and test different combo variations to exploit the potential of the combat system.
