Dredge: The Pale Reach Review (Dr. Shotgun Surgeon)
The Pale Reach is a fantastic compliment to the main game. If you liked the Base game of dredge and just want more of the same than this is for you. It continues just about everything that the base game did just in an entirely optional area. I loved the theme, the frozen mass that appears out of nowhere with a mysterious backstory is very alluring and cool. In terms of game play its adds nothing new at all, It continues the rest of the games formula of (go to new area, speak with the person there to learn about some of the lore and an idea of what you're supposed to be doing. Catch some cool and unique fish to advance the story, talk to some more people, do another task and then collect magical item at the end.) which I was a fan of so I really didn't mind that there was nothing crazy added in this DLC. The lore is cool there are some side quests as well. I would say the new zone is probably my 2nd favorite after the tropical area. The main quest was fun and I would say the most "Lovecraft-esque" of all of the other areas. Bottom line though, I would say if you're just looking for more Dredge it is for sure worth it, but if you're looking for something extremely innovative and game changing, this is most certainly not it. Id give it a 7/10 and say it is a must buy for fans of the game looking for more
