Yo man, dig the review! Any chance you could start throwing a summary screen for your "Pros" and "Cons" in during the verdict? As it is now, they just kind of pop up randomly throughout the vid and are, frankly, easy to miss.
So psyched for this, but the price point is a little high for me right now; loved the demo when I played it during a Next Fest last year, and will keep an eye on it.
I assume you might be already but i am curious if you are gonna review crime boss from the epic game store i cant find a single review i trust on that game mostly IGN and i dont trust them haha
I adored the demo and was bummed out once it came to an end because I wanted more. Super glad that the full release does not disappoint! I will absolutely be purchasing it day one so I can get lost at sea.
I regularly get more excited for Indie games like this than most of the big AAA titles, since the indies are where you can find games with cool concepts and new ideas like a Lovecraftian fishing game, or the other recent release Tera Nil a "reverse city builder" where you are trying to restore a blighted landscape back to nature
I love how you say the first one thousand people who comment will be the first one thousand people who have commented. Unlike a lot of youtuber out there that bait people to like, comment, and subscribe by giving them giveaway of something you just straight up honestly telling people if they like your video they can subscribe. 👍
Your reviews are always really insightful and thoughtful - I appreciate how much you engage with the game's overall vision, rather than focusing on minor nitpicks. You see the whole game as a piece of art -rare in game criticism! It makes your thoughts always interesting to hear. Also, as a frequent word-mispronouncer myself who always appreciates it when people let me know the real thing: At 1:50, it's pronounced "miss-shape-en" instead of "miss-happen"
I find the Fishing and boat management quite intriguing based on this review. Like something I would try and play on a weekend and hopefully get hooked with its gameplay and story.
I’m concurrently playing this and Dave the Diver, and together they’re like a nautically perfect vibe. When Dredge gets a bit repetitive or heavy, switch to Dave and you’re good to go!
It's a straight direct copy of another game in which I own. I just forget the name but this is exactly like that game but graphics seems better with this one.
I’ve never played a game like this before, and I’m definitely going to buy it today. All because you reviewed it. So thanks for being great at what you do!
After visiting the The Whalers Cabin museum near Carmel-by-the-Sea in California, I always felt that whaling would make for a great horror/item management/ lovecraftian game of some kind. All the interesting shaped harpoons and the process of getting blubber and oil would make for interesting item management. So here's hoping Dredge will inspire some more lovecraftian fishing games, so maybe someday, we can get that triple AAA Lovecraftian Fisherman Red Dead Redemption game, I’ve always dreamed of.
Hi ACG! Not a regular commenter (here or anywhere tbh) but I’ve up several games just based of your in-depth and thorough take on games but more so because I absolutely love the way you inject your dry humor and witty remarks into the videos (chef’s kiss). But I digress I’m glad you reviewed this and will definitely look to pick it up. P.S. Would you personally recommend picking this up on Switch (for portability) or is performance not great? Plus that +$10 Switch “tax” for a physical copy kinda stings 😅
Oh, how I long to be one of the coveted First 1000 commenters. When it comes to horror, Lovecraft will always be one of my favorites and I rarely turn down a game based upon that universe. I will definitely be getting this. Thanks for being one of the best review platforms out there
I love finding games using genres I'm fascinated by introducing me to games I wouldn't have played otherwise and open up a whole new love of that style of gameplay. I think this could be my Segway. Thanks for the review my dude!
It’s segue, (Segway is the name of a 2 wheeled vehicle), but if you liked this, you should try Diver Dave. Not as weird but still pretty weird and fun, varied mechanics.
Seems cool. I like how it sounded there at the end and it looks great. Don't think I'd really get into it though, but may give it a shot on a sale though the regular price seems fair.
I was interested in this game, very glad it's reviewing well. What's your criteria for deciding to cover smaller games like say, Pentiment, Somerville, Dredge, whenever you are not covering AAAs? I know to look forward to your AAA reviews, but the ones for smaller titles are a nice unexpected surprise.
Can I do the things in ma own pace? I mean is it like "the longer you get to thet to the bottom of it, the more creepy the world around you gets" or something like that? Or can I advance story whenever I feel like it?
It is a lovely game, mixing my some of my favorite things in game, unwinding and horror, and those two should be impossible to work together, turns out that it isn't. Praise the Sun my friend, good content as always.
From a cursory glance I feel this game has a tangentially similar theme and/or aesthetic to that love death robots episode where the fish come out in the desert at night. And I cannot wait to try it.
I loved Sunless Sea. So this is right up my alley. But I hope there is enough content. I would love to see text-based shore exploration like in Sunless Sea.

@@gozzilla177 From what I've seen very recently, Crime Boss for PC appears to be a very well-produced piece of software.
Been waiting for this game. Your reviews are now my ways of knowing what games are coming out.
same!
@@mychem20I’m from the future. In 2024 december, you’ll have this game. You’re welcome.
For free.

Same here! so bummed when the demo ended.
only 3 days left until release! :D
@@lechef3449 hello, im thinking of buying it. have you played it? how is it
Did you enjoy it? My Nephew Alex does the art work for the game . He:s working on it at the moment. 😊🇳🇿
@@chrissie1668 The art and graphical direction ended up being one of my favorite parts of the game. game overall was great as well
It's crazy how excited I am for this little game versus the huge games out this year.

Literally my two games this year have been this and Tears of the Kingdom just because I'm a Zelda fan

I am about to start it. What was your verdict?
Sounds really interesting! Thanks for reviewing smaller games like this.
You bet thanks for being a subscriber!
Switch store has free demo.
Never knew about this game before. But anything unique with lovecraftian vibe to it is a yes in my book. Thanks for reviewing this game!
I am really glad you reviewed this.
A: I was nervous but interested in this title
B: I trust your game judgement.
It was a nice surprise

Get 'hooked' eh...? 🎣🐟🐠
Getting hooked
So looking forward to this game! Reminds me a lot of Sunless Sea.
Its great
I thought same thing
Kind of. Both are boat driving based games with lovecraftian elements. Although SS has no fishing, it does have trading and boat upgrades.
Same! Tell me, is it great?! I loved sunless sea and sunless sky even more!
idk why people act like the debt is hard, all you have to do is fill up you boat with fish in the first area and you can pay it of in one day
It looks like 3D Sunless Sea. This is going into my wishlist now. Thanks ACG for covering this!
still need to play that, probably a good choice to wait until the price drops on this one right ?
I was thinking the same thing
I always make sure to like ACG's reviews.
0:38 lmao, I kept repeating this scene trying to figure out if I'm seeing a what was a tail fin that turns into a foot
I’m concurrently playing this and Dave the Diver, and together they’re like a nautically perfect vibe. When Dredge gets a bit repetitive or heavy, switch to Dave and you’re good to go!
Me too lol! Sure you've finished both by now but I'm loving them both slowly.
Glad this game is getting attention. It looks like a unique gem that one shouldn't pass on.
Sounds crazy, but this simple little game is one of the best and most immersive gaming experiences I've ever had. Love it!!!
Loved the demo for this, surprisingly addictive. Glad to see it getting such good reviews.
That's a word I haven't heard for a decade. Where can I download the demo? Not steam it seems.
@@deslow7411 the demo was available, but about a week or two before the actual game release they closed it down.
@@deslow7411really? In a coma for 10 years?
I have been looking forward to this game for a while. The concept and gameplay looks so good in my opinion.
It's a straight direct copy of another game in which I own. I just forget the name but this is exactly like that game but graphics seems better with this one.
@@freshandsaltyjohnny Are you thinking of Sunless Sea?
@@Largentina. yea that one
ACG your reviews are unparalleled. Thanks for this review, the game looks really different and unique
I’ve never played a game like this before, and I’m definitely going to buy it today. All because you reviewed it. So thanks for being great at what you do!
Thanks!
Doesn't it come out on March 30th?
@@TCViper8618 the 29th I believe!
I meant more pre-order than buy. And I don’t ever pre-order games. 🤣
@@ACGreviews you’re welcome. Between you and SkillUp I have nothing but praise.

Wow, great review. Into the significant nuances. New sub. Heading to your VOD section. Mahalo. 🤙
Your reviews are just the best. thank you.
Great review: a a captain myself. I was interested in this. Probably gonna get it now. 🦊👍🏻

As always ACG, thanks for always bringing attention to quality games, regardless of publisher, popularity, or genre.
Awesome review as always! Will definitely buy this, thanks Karak!
'Loved' this since I saw a preview a few months ago and just grabbed it

Sea,ships and Lovecraft?, I am all in!
NAUGHTY FISH, CATCH THE WIGGLERS
been looking forward to this one, happy it has the ACG seal of approval!
Ya was highly enjoyable
I've got my pre-order in, but I thought it was going to be released at the end of March and not I'm seeing late April?
Heyyy cool I didn't expect you to do a review on this. I just found out about this game yesterday and I was immediately intrigued.
Great review mate, one of the only channel I have seen that regularly does Game reviews
The thought of how how much this game reminds me of Shadow over Innsmouth gives me chills.
I just found my favourite gaming channel.
can you walk through towns or is it strictly menu based?
I love finding games using genres I'm fascinated by introducing me to games I wouldn't have played otherwise and open up a whole new love of that style of gameplay. I think this could be my Segway. Thanks for the review my dude!
You bet! Spread the word
It’s segue, (Segway is the name of a 2 wheeled vehicle), but if you liked this, you should try Diver Dave. Not as weird but still pretty weird and fun, varied mechanics.
@@adamwest8711 lol segway. Ya Dave the Diver is great!
This game deserves an expansion with bigger boats/ships that can be fitted with a diving bell. Submarines would be a great addition.
YaY I'm within the 1000 people who commented! this game looks great and i really like your reviews. keep it up!
Seems cool. I like how it sounded there at the end and it looks great. Don't think I'd really get into it though, but may give it a shot on a sale though the regular price seems fair.
Haven't heard of this title but it looks really good 👍
This looks a beauty. Great review. Big thanks 👍🇦🇺

Covering lil gems like this is bloody awesome.
Played and loved the demo. Instantly pre-ordered afterwards. Glad the full game seems just as brilliant. I'm excited!
How do you watch those in game cinematics? It never played for me. Just the part where the protagonist crashes and awakes in town.
Huh, never would have thought to try this. Thanks for the recommendation Centaur!
Melancholic, with A. Good review btw.
I don't pre-order, ever.
I pre-ordered this after the demo :)
love this style, looks really intriguing.
Was a big surprise
@@ACGreviews totally, without you this might've completely passed me by! thanks for putting it on my radar!
Heya i can't turn on my sound Cause im at work (muhehe) isnt this something similiar to flame in the flood?
At first glance this looks like a gritty reboot of Spiritfarer
Have you played Tchia? It’s amazing. Just came out for PlayStation and PC this week.
Would you recommend it to anyone who couldnt get into Sunless Seas/Skies?
So, essentially, in this video you judge Dredge.
…I’ll get my coat.
Hello, thanks for the review ! Does anyone know if the game works with mouse and keyboard on series X ?
Man I would love to see more of this type of game.
Barotruma and Sunless Sea come to mind.
SInce I played the demo I have been super keen for this game. Just the pricing in my country is a bit high compared to other games.
Can I do the things in ma own pace? I mean is it like "the longer you get to thet to the bottom of it, the more creepy the world around you gets" or something like that?
Or can I advance story whenever I feel like it?
Got some Sunless Sea vibes.. think I'll be getting it
Definitely be buying, infact I just pre ordered it on steam. I love sea fishing .
I loved it since I tried Steam demo. Day1 purchase. Take note devs/publishers - DEMOs. It was the best game in that festival.
I have this on my steam wishlist, can't wait.
I was in after seeing that first trailer. Definitely picking this up asap.
And here's me, getting a little scared when night hits in Fishing North Atlantic.
It is a lovely game, mixing my some of my favorite things in game, unwinding and horror, and those two should be impossible to work together, turns out that it isn't.
Praise the Sun my friend, good content as always.
Been watching your reviews for many years, your the best man so thank you for always putting out great reviews! Keep it up, gang gang
HONESLTY been obsessed with this game and it’s been a while since I’ve been obsessed.
Good review! It looks like an excellent, relaxing indie game that one can enjoy after a long day.
Mr. ACG, "gang gang" means very tired in my language. I understand this profession is very tiring and I appreciate your videos. ❤ Thank you.
"I didnt know this existed" I said while nodding my head in approval and reaching for my wallet.
From a cursory glance I feel this game has a tangentially similar theme and/or aesthetic to that love death robots episode where the fish come out in the desert at night. And I cannot wait to try it.
Great job as usual! Thank you for the hard work.
I really enjoyed the demo when I tried it. Felt nice and chill, but interesting with the weirdness, especially at night. I've waiting for this one.
I’m very excited to play this game! Pre ordered after this review.
Looks beautiful and seems like a cool gameplay loop. I wouldn't have seen this game without your attention. Thanks for showing it!
cant wait to play this game....very excited
Its great
I loved Sunless Sea. So this is right up my alley. But I hope there is enough content. I would love to see text-based shore exploration like in Sunless Sea.
Didn't even know this existed, but I'm definitely going to dive into it now. Thank you so much for great reviews!
Love/addicted to this game but not able to play it for a few days so I came to see a review just to see more of it
What a great review. Keep it brother 😊
Am I cheating myself to get the deluxe version?? Is the Blackstone Key discoverable in the Base Game??
Excellent review. Good work 😎
Thanks for covering this. Xx
nice, I've been waiting for this game after trying the demo.
Because of your review I am now purchasing the game. Ty for great footage of what the game looks like and has to offer. Helps make a decision.

Got it yesterday and it’s excellent so far
Been waiting for this one since the demo im happy to see it is good
Another great review on a game that is on my radar. Cheers ACG! You rock!
Love the informative review. Thank you
I love fishing games. Benn watching this one for a while now. Really excited to know how good it is - thanks for the review Karak!
Looks awesome thanks for the great review!
thanks!
