The same magical, carefree spirit that makes the artistic side of In the Jungle so appealing carries over into the gameplay, with the difference that Bancho’s fishing and sushi bar have received further enhancements compared to the past.

An expansion that could almost be a whole new game. Diving has been enriched with Stardew Valley-style villages, JRPG-style jungle exploration, and a ton of other new activities in a nice light-hearted style. Dave's Jungle Expedition took the concept of the original, added so many layers to it that even an onion wouldn't be ashamed of them, and created a great package that surpasses the original version in many ways.

In the Jungle transforms Dave the Diver and breathes new life into him. This DLC is so extensive that it's practically a spin-off. It's up to you to decide whether the new features meet your expectations.

I love the DLC. They changed the setting and location, and even the gameplay but it works just like Dave The Diver. Of course, some parts need to be improved but overall it's very enjoyable, humorous and creative.

An incredible amount of content with never a dull moment. I couldn't put it down, and I wish every game was like this.

Simply 10 because I finished **** many people don't finish a game and allow themselves to judge? The title should be savored to the very end, because this isn't just a game, but a fantastic adventure full of extra eggs and exciting situations that weren't seen in the first game. I think the Metacritics scores are fair, even if a little harsh. For me, this DLC is worth more than the first title for what there is to do and how it's done, plus the story. I never got bored, it's truly amazing. Simply an act of love towards video games and us gamers.

Dave the Diver In the Jungle is a fantastic DLC that could be sold as a game in its own right, and is packed full of new ideas and jungle charm.

For those fans who’ve been waiting for the next Dave the Diver, this DLC more than bridges a gap. It arrives as a near full-length sequel to its predecessor, at just a fraction of the cost. Anyone wishing to revisit the Blue Hole, or anyone thinking about travelling there as a newbie, should make time for this wild and wonderful jungle trip.

Packed to the gills with activities and swimming with great characters, In The Jungle is just as charming and surprising as the base game.

Dave the Diver: In the Jungle is a content-packed DLC. Although it leaves the Blue Hole behind for the jungle, the core charm and strengths of Dave the Diver remain intact. It introduces a wide variety of new content, yet still keeps the experience light, approachable, and easy to enjoy.

Dave the Diver: In the Jungle successfully carries over the enjoyable loop of exploration and restaurant management, offering a fresh experience in its new setting. However, the latter half feels a bit underwhelming due to a lackluster final encounter, a somewhat flat new character, and a narrative conclusion that feels slightly incomplete.

Despite making waves in the gameplay department, Dave the Diver’s In the Jungle DLC presents a problematic narrative premise that blemishes everything it touches.

This is one of the best DLC i’ve played. Insane amount of content volume and addictive gameplay as before. It really changed the definition of DLC by expanding the whole game volume.
