Black Salt Games and Team17 announce The Iron Rig is coming to DREDGE on
August 15th, adding a second DLC to DREDGE, the sinister fishing adventure. This
will require the base game, and will add new equipment, new characters. and new
hazards, headlined by the kind of mysterious ooze that rarely turns out to be
good news. Here's the
Steam
Listing, a Release Date
Announcement Trailer, and some details:
As the drilling operation on the rig intensifies, something stirs in the primordial depths. A dark liquid begins to seep into familiar and once-safe areas of the game, transforming them into perilous zones. Players must carefully assess the impact of this mysterious substance on local fish species, unveiling peculiar specimens from the abyssal depths as they go about adding more than 50 new fish to the game’s encyclopaedia. The Iron Rig expansion adds a new tier of fishing equipment, as well as new characters to interact with, new hazards to overcome, and new world events and lore to uncover.

Unpopular opinion: Dredge was the most disappointing game I've played in ages.
Mostly, I felt that the player had no influence over the game. You went to point A when the plot said to go to point A. You went to point B when the plot said to. You caught fish A in spot A and fish B in spot B. You found resource A in resource spot A. It didn't feel like I was actually exploring, it felt like I went to the prescribed point on a very rigid map and did exactly what the game wanted me to at that exact time.
Most games like that fill the map with side quests and other activities to create variety. Generally, a company like Ubisoft or CD Projekt Red has the budget to develop such a comprehensive game. However, a small indie studio might have to focus primarily on the main narrative. Does that change your view of the game? 🙂
The most exercise some people get is jumping to conclusions.
I didn't feel it was all that linear, except in the beginning where you need to do certain things just to get the better motor needed to reach the more distant islands without growing old. Matter of fact I purposely did things very out of sequence in the mid game, going to areas I wasn't quite ready for, and got killed a lot, but it was fun.
The game will let you go to areas you really shouldn't go yet, and will let you do a lot of things without the recommended equipment, it's just harder.

DEI hire? Oh how cute, you think you found a way of being a racist without sounding racist. That's adorable!

Nothing was hard. Nothing was challenging. There weren't really puzzles to solve. It was just traveling along. I loved the graphics and the vibe, but just felt like there was absolutely nothing to the gameplay. It felt immensely shallow. For a game that kind of looked like the Jaws NES game, it had less gameplay depth than that one did.

The Iron Rig - This too sounds like an ad for my Johnson.
