It is what it is. Simple, short platformer that's made for kids.
Controls were floaty but never frustrating and the different mechanics in each section are all done well enough. Nothing too challenging.
Got all the trophies in about 5 hours start to finish, not the worst way to spend a lazy Sunday.

First, this is definitely best enjoyed after the 2nd or 3rd island in the main game. This would feel pointless if you started the DLC after finishing the main story and already having a ton of endgame upgrades.
As a mid-game addition it works great. Really just another island with another type of fish and set of gear to use and it's more of the same as the main game which is great.
The DLC story I actually enjoyed more than most of the main games' side missions. It had a good set-up and did a good job of letting you uncover the mystery without spoon-feeding it to you. The main threat in this area was better than the monsters on the main islands too and had decent mechanics to combat it.
Short, sweet and more of the same Lovecraftian goodness.

Chill fisherman simulator by day, Lovecraftian horror by night.
Enjoyed the calm gameplay loop of fishing for rare fish, selling them at the market to buy upgrades for your boat so you can catch more rare fish. Lots of variety in the boat build options and ticking off fish from the huge encyclopedia list of fish was satisfying.
It does a great job making you feel the terrifying scale of some of the HUGE monsters that are lurking out in the open waters, especially when you least expect to see one. However, the smaller monsters that live in the game's major islands were more just nuisances than actual threats.
Story-wise it didn't grip me right away, but around the half way mark it definitely picked up when the mystery started to unfold. Side quests were pretty shallow however. The people you meet are interesting but a couple of them just felt like fetch quests rather than fleshed out side missions.
My biggest gripe with Dredge is that there wasn't more. I wanted more fish, more upgrades, more missions, more mysteries. But what is there is excellent.
