God is a Geek: 8.5 / 10
DREDGE's new The Pale Reach DLC is a great excuse to play more DREDGE, thanks to an interesting new area full of water based horrors.
GameSpew: 8 / 10 by Kim Snaith
It’s simple: if you enjoyed Dredge, you’ll enjoy The Pale Reach. While this DLC doesn’t reinvent the wheel, it offers a solid reason to return to one of this year’s best indie games. It’s a fairly small expansion, but for a budget price you’re getting new mysteries to unravel, new fish to catch and a new area to explore – what more could you want?
Entertainium: by Eduardo Rebouças
The new biome fits in well with the rest of the world of Dredge, and if you have yet to get started in the game, it’s a location that you’ll naturally explore over the course of your adventure. For people like me who are coming back to it for this DLC, it might prove to be a tad too easy, but that doesn’t mean it’s any less of a pleasure given that it’s more Dredge to be had, and that alone is reason enough for me, really.
Dredge: The Pale Reach Description
Dredge: The Pale Reach is the first expansion to Dredge, an RPG with horror elements released in March 2023. It was developed by Black Salt Games, just like the base game, and was published by Team17.
Plot
Dredge: The Pale Reach introduces a new storyline, which we can play through at any point of the base game. It's set in an icy area hiding a great secret. Following the trail of the previous crew to sail these waters, we learn about bitter betrayal and the place we're in.
Mechanics
Dredge: The Pale Reach adds about 1-3 hours of playtime, depending on our playstyle and pace. Aside from new quests, there's also four new equipment items and eleven new types of fish to catch. There's also a new, extremely useful boat expansion, capable of breaking ice. Players can also purchase blocks of ice, which make fish spoil slower.
Technical aspects
Dredge: The Pale Reach is not a standalone expansion and requires the base version of Dredge.
