Ignored this game for a long time — I kept thinking, what could possibly be interesting about catching fish and working as a waiter? Now it’s the opposite: I get annoyed when the game distracts me from fishing with things like farming and chicken coops. 10 sushi rolls out of 10. P.S. Great game for Steam Deck

Dave the Diver presents itself to you firstly by just its simple title which is very giving. You play as..Dave, who, you guessed it, is a diver. But it's not as simple as that, even though at times I really wished it was. The game is slowly paced at the beginning of it; it tries to make you as comfortable as it can with its controls, its visuals and its gameplay. I would say it does a great job, but unfortunately there are times when you feel like the game has been designed against you or, better said, poorly. You start by collecting fish and diving for your sushi restaurant which you'll have to fish for everyday starting from the beginning of the game. It's fun, it sparks your curiosity every time you catch new species, the designs are beautiful and you can clearly see a lot of love has been put into the making of this game. From the visuals of it, to the story and the characters which are all so special in their own way. The game has this way of making you love everything about it from the moment you boot it for the first time, up until you finish it. But no game is without flaws. Even though you could play it endlessly, without even focusing on the main story, but focusing on the side missions, you'd still find yourself enjoying this game. You'll find yourself hoping that you could upgrade your gear even a bit more, even though maybe you already did, just so you could dive deeper and discover what other mysteries are waiting for you. You'll find this game rewarding and fun, but also exhausting. After diving for a while and getting through the game, I would say at the halfway point of it, it starts to wear you out. The diving is fun, the fishing is fun, the missions are fun, but there is so much. A game with this much content will always be welcome in my heart, but the game also needs to be paced in a certain way so that you don't start feeling like I did. As I stated in the beginning, the game is slowly paced, but until a point. And when you reach that exact point, everything starts to get cluttered. You go from just fishing and managing your restaurant and maybe taking care of some fish to so many tasks. You suddenly have a farm, there are foggy nights in which certain species of fish only appear then, food events in which you need ingredients or else you won't make much money in that night, don't forget the VIPs which for some reason start to come by the restaurant more often than they did, the main missions of the game make you go in a maze-y area in which you'll feel like you're going insane, and don't forget the boss battles which, some of them, if not the most, feel like they were just poorly designed. I don't have enough fingers on both hands to count the number of times I have died because of the designs of the battle. I don't have enough fingers to count the number of times I had to search up how to defeat certain bosses, because no matter what I was doing, it wasn't correct. If you don't have a perfect strategy, you'll die in just a couple of hits. Things like this make you sometimes think less of a game, especially if you're very subjective in your way of thinking. I wish I had enjoyed this game to the fullest as I should have, but I couldn't, because it felt like a chore. And to be honest, I hate that. I know this is a good game, I know this game is liked and praised by so many people, not because they're thinking too highly of it, but because it deserves it, but I couldn't be as happy to play it as I know I should have been. All these flaws aside, it's an amazing game. It's a game which will make you wish you could play it again for the first time without knowing anything about it, but it's also a game which will get on your nerves quite a bit. And that's the fun in playing video games, isn't it? Struggling shows us that we're alive and not giving up anytime soon.
