WE DIVE TOGETHER

OR NOT AT ALL!

Ymir is one of those games that you know the developer really wanted to play themselves, but it didn't exist. So the developer went out and created it. Ymir is a complex web of systems and decisions that can be at times, abstract & opaque to outsiders.

Should you want to play this game, expect to set aside some time to learning the game. Accept mistakes, accept having to restart, and you will learn and grow with it. Use resources, like the Wiki, (ymir.fandom), and the discord (can be found in the main menu) and don't always trust the tutorial to be optimal. If you can do that, you will have a good time.

Can't wait for 2.0.

Short, sweet, & complete. I played dredge on the steam deck and enjoyed it quite a bit. Nothing felt like a poor translation from a PC, and the PC controls didn't feel like controller controls. Dredge proves itself to be tightly designed and appropriately scoped. It took me a little under 10 hours to complete and I certainly could have gone on longer, and would definitely replay again. The progression is satisfying, with all of the elements at play not being forgotten.

Now, for a little constructive critique: (Wouldn't really count these against the game)
I never really had a reason to explore at night. I pushed it at the end of the game, but did not get to see all of the threats the game had to offer because of that. This is a playstyle choice.
The characters felt like they shrunk in scope instead of growing. As you explore, you'll do less talking, not more. There are fewer settlements, and more hostile environments. The characters we do meet are appropriately tragic and certainly compelling, but the worldbuilding we do get in the Marrows and Ingfel (The first two locales) are interesting and I wish there was more of it.

I wish this game had more bots

Good mechanics, great sandbox, story intrigues but I was disappointed by the lack of a loyalty path. Be forewarned: You will always betray UNATCO. Disappointing, but the game is fun regardless.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ this game is easy. Won my first battle 12400 casualties to 12600, Confederates BTFO

F76 is a game with a good atmosphere, world, and fun progression. F76 after wastelanders is a good RPG.

New Operation is super good. Valve keeps adding features to this game and I'm here for it.

I wouldn't recommend this waste of time. There is no progression, no variation in ships, the questing content is lacking at best and there's microtransactions on top of that. Pretty graphics and the rare moment of fun aren't worth $40.
