I liked this game a lot! I played on a iMac and macbook and once I changed the controls on the macbook its was more intuitive. Pluses: nice graphics and interactions, fun and exciting, not difficult to acheive most tasks and loved the way you can improve your boat. Minuses: I finished the entire game in two days ( a bummer). The improvement tree should be more expansive. So if you like a game paced at your speed and attention span this is the game for you. Warning the initital download is free but limited. The pay version is $9.99 which I thought was very fair.

I’m 28, and at this stage of my life I often find it difficult to come across a game that truly captivates me and feels worthy of my limited free time, especially while working 40+ hours a week. Yet every time I come home, I find myself starting up Dredge and sinking (pun intended) at least an hour or two into it. During that time, I completely disconnect from everything else going on in my life and immerse myself fully in the game. I really want to thank the team for putting so much love and passion into Dredge it’s something I feel deeply while playing, and it’s a quality I find missing in many modern games.

I love the mechanics of the boat, and the atmosphere. However, the fishing mechanic is boring, the mechanic of trying to fit things on the boat is also tedious, the puzzles are very straightforward or if not straightforward, not interesting to solve. The story seems like it’s going to be interesting, but the conclusion has several holes. Several very uninteresting side plots and stories - why should I care about them? I just wanted to get to the end of the game, but I felt like I was being dragged on and on.And as for the horror element, it’s pretty easy to avoid the horror. Which I don’t mind necessarily… but I think the predictability makes it boring.2 stars because I don’t appreciate the amount of time I spent on meaningless side quests in the game.

I have waited 2 years for this game to come out on the Mac and am not disappointed. This game (and its two expansions) has that ‘just one more fishing run appeal’….which easily turns in to an extra hour or so. Kudos to the team for it running well across all Apple devices (which means I can play on one device and pick up on another). I love the storyline and all the secrets to find. The graphics are intentionally simple, but aid in focusing the story AND providing a sense of calm while sailing the vast (and sometimes dangerous) ocean. Get this one - it’s worth every penny!
