Everyone's experience with Dave The Diver : - Doesn't understand why a pixelated fishing game is so well rated. - Buy the game without much confidence. - Find The fishing part fun enough to continue. - Start doing Skyrim quests, fight Dark Souls bosses, collect Pokemon cards, visit Zelda temples, see people get "Ratatouilled" with your dishes, manage restaurants teams, crops vegetables, keep chickens, hunt Godzilla, play Tamagotchi, become billionaire, bet on seahorses races... - Come back here to tell the others to join the cult. You are next.

This game is one of my favorites from the last few years. However recently they keep releasing timed DLCs, the second of which is also paid. You've missed the first one already. If you don't like these kinds of practices then you probably don't want to buy this game.

The store page itself does not do the game justice of how much actual content there is in Dave the Diver. Has a lovable, lighthearted, and silly style of humor, from cutscenes to gameplay. It does not reveal the depth and ridiculous amount of different minigames hidden either as side quests or woven into the main progress all at once, instead it keeps popping up the new content just when you would think you are about to reach the end. My final verdict, though rated using a more personal scoring system: I like it so much I actually wrote this review, the only review in many years.

Overview Dave the Diver is a mix of a diving adventure, with some light simulation elements, and a restaurant manager in form of a Sushi bar, garnished with a lovely story and wrapped up in beautiful 2d pixel graphics. And you can feed cats :3 Gameplay The general gameplay can be loosely sorted into 3 categories. Diving and collecting loot and fish for the restaurant, doing main and/or side story missions and working and managing the restaurant. Your day starts on your trusty boat in the morning (each day is divided into morning/afternoon/evening) and you set out to dive into the Blue Hole to collect fish / materials and other things for yourself and for your restaurant, or follow other various activities, the same happens in the afternoon and in the evening, you work in the restaurant. And while this may sound like a repetitive and boring – it is far from that. The Blue Hole is generated randomly to a degree. So while you might find certain fishes in the same depth regions, there is always some variation to the landscape and loot. Three times a week you can also put in an extra dive in the evening which allows you to hunt different fishes which only come out at night, but be careful, it’s dangerous! When you work for the restaurant, your job is to set up the menu, upgrade dishes and serve customers. With time you can hire new stuff and level them up to help you with the service or send them out on missions to collect certain ingredients. There are also some more unlocks later, but I don’t want to spoil anything here. The money you make is used in various ways. To upgrade Dave’s gear, so he can dive for longer, carry more or dive deeper. Buy vanity items for the restaurant and other crafting efforts. Also later in the game, you unlock various side activities, which I won’t mention here. What I like about Dave/tl;dr -The graphics, Dave the Diver is certainly one of the most beautiful pixel art style games ever released, every part of the game is filled with lovely details, vibrant colors and lovely animations that often just put a big smile on your face. -You can feed and pat cats! -Beside the fantastic general gameplay, there are also a lot of side activities later in the game, which are just there to be enjoyed and nothing else. -The main story, but also the side stories are so much fun to play through -Characters/npcs – so many interesting personalities’, each with their own funny quirks and goals -Did I mention that you can pet cats? -Exploration: the Blue hole is vast, deep and filled with things to uncover -It’s fun to work the restaurant and see how it improves with time. Dave the Diver works so well as a game, all aspects of it go hand in hand together, from the gathering and upgrading to the restaurant management and Story, it all combines to an amazing and enjoyable adventure which I can only recommend.

Nikke collab event sent me here, and wow this game's actually pretty cool. When are we getting the Nikke content pack? :) If you missed the event post, you can call the operator and redeem the code 'AEGISTHEDIVER' for a unique boat skin featuring the aforementioned Aegis squad. It's not exactly playable Helm, but it'll do.
