PC User Reviews

Fun cute little game with some fun mini games. I had a good time with it but drifted away from it at some point and never really felt the need to go back.

The core loop of daytime spearfishing in the Blue Hole followed by nighttime sushi restaurant management is ridiculously addictive for the first dozen hours. The pixel art oozes charm, the cooking cutscenes are pure comedy, and the quirky cast gives the adventure a lot of heart. However, the second half suffers from serious feature bloat. Instead of refining its best systems, the game continuously throws half-baked gimmicks at you, including tedious stealth sections, farm chores, and clunky underwater boss fights that dilute the magic of the original loop. Still a very fun, memorable adventure with tons of personality, but it desperately needed someone on the team to say "less is more."

Dive by day, run the sushi bar by night: a two-phase loop that never stops feeding itself. Charming, generous, constantly throwing new ideas at you. Maybe one or two ideas too many toward the end, but the freshness lasts far longer than it has any right to.

An elevator pitch would not be able to grasp the whole game, it would either: a) Undersell it; b)Overwhelm you into thinking you that it is too confusing to be enjoyable. I would recommend option (a) since that’s what the majority of the first-time players of the game have experienced. The moment you think you have got the hang of something during the playthrough and think to yourself “I guess that’s the game”, that’s when a new mechanic/ addition comes along. By the 4th or 5th “surprise” you’re probably thinking “Hmm, you know what would be great?” and behold — something new appears. The rate at which this game introduces new mechanics/activities is nothing short of high praise, the pacing and timing make for a very straightforward experience which does not detract from the game and instead enriches it. What is truly amazing is the fact that the base formula of the games does not change, hence the reason you are not overwhelmed and confused. If you are looking for a both relaxing and engaging experience then I recommend this game wholeheartedly.

Dave the diver est est jeu plein de personnalité, d'inventivité, et de contenu, et même trop de contenu. C'est le problème de ce jeu, il s'acharne à multiplier les contenus et à allonger sa durée de vie alors que clairement, celui-ci n'a plus rien d'intéressant à dire. Commençons par ce qui est presque irréprochable de mon point de vu. Esthétiquement, le jeu est très abouti. Le pixel art est superbe et arrive à présenter à la fois de beaux panoramas et une grande diversité de créatures marines avec quand même un petit manque de détails sur les plus **** poissons parfois difficiles à distinguer les uns des autres. Les musiques sont globalement discrètes mais variées et certaines arrivent tout de même à sortir du lot. Techniquement le jeu tourne sans aucun problème. Des très rares bugs de collision ou de pathfiding sont à noter. Le game design de Dave the diver est aussi très bon dans sa boucle de gamplay principale, les phases de plongées et de services de restauration/gestion se répondent et s'auto-alimentent parfaitement, créant une boucle parfaitement fluide, au début au moins. Car cette boucle de gameplay est petit à petit gâchée en avançant dans le jeu. Non, le problème n'est pas la mort punitive, la mort y est certes punitive mais Dave the diver n'est pas un jeu difficile et beaucoup d'éléments sont donnés au joueur pour effectuer des sauvetages d'urgence, sans cette menace les plongées manqueraient trop d'engagement. Le problème vient à la fois de la multiplication de petites phases de gameplay "gimmick" et du dernier tiers du jeu, clairement de trop. Cela alourdit sensiblement l'expérience et participe à une forte lassitude lorsque l'on finit le jeu, laissant une dernière impression mitigée. Derniers détails, le menuing est plutôt lourd et certaines explications mériteraient d'être plus claires. Le gameplay suit la même logique. Dans sa boucle principale, le gameplay est très bon. En plongée, il demande un temps d'adaptation, mais il recrée plutôt bien la sensation d'être sous l'eau notamment avec l'utilisation des armes. Au restaurant, il recrée bien ces malheureux sentiments d'être débordé et de regretter de ne pas avoir plus de paires d'yeux et de bras sans avoir celui de perdre complètement le contrôle. En revanche dès que l'on s'éloigne des phases de gameplay corps du jeu, ce dernier se dégrade significativement. Parmi les nombreux mini-jeux que compte Dave the diver, la plupart sont en fait inintéressants par un manque de finition, d'approfondissement ou d'un quelconque challenge. Ils n'apportent pas grand chose à l'expérience, et, par accumulation, en retire de la constance et de la cohésion. La narration suit la même dynamique. Le jeu est en soi bien écrit. Les personnages sont sympathiques, les dialogues sont drôles tout comme les cinématique complétement déjantées. Encore une fois, le tout est plein de personnalité, mais le jeu s'étale de trop, particulièrement dans sont dernier tiers. L'impression que ces personnages n'ont plus rien à nous raconter est palpable à la fin du jeu. Le scénario prétexte aurait certainement dû rester un scénario prétexte, ça "complexification" n'est que peu intéressante. Je tiens également à pointer du doigt que la traduction française est assez médiocre. En somme, Dave the diver est un très bon jeu, mais un jeu qui aurait été meilleur s'il avait été plus sobre. C'est loin d'être une première, mais pour un jeu "indé", c'est un comble. Je conseille tout de même chaleureusement Dave the diver, mais inviterais à y jouer sans trop s'écarter de la quête principale au risque de devoir **** sur le post game pour être combler et ne pas l'être avant la fin et de devoir "se forcer" à le finir.

Fun game! Good controls, feels smooth, love the idea of the sushi shop. The story is lighthearted and easy to follow. The pixel art is awesome too!

a really nice game, I liked it, it's not necessarily my style, but I can say that it's very addictive and if I had had more time I would have really liked it

Dave the Diver (2023) — ★★★★½ (8.7/10)Developed by MINTROCKET, this adventure-management hybrid blends daytime diving and spearfishing with nighttime sushi-restaurant management, following Dave, a chubby, good-natured diver who finds himself responsible for exploring the mysterious "Blue Hole," catching fish, running a restaurant, and helping a cast of eccentric characters solve escalating problems. This blend of two fairly different genres is genuinely the game's greatest innovation — fishing never feels separate from management, since every fish is a resource, and every resource can become a dish, an upgrade, or a revenue stream. The daily loop is clear and satisfying: dive the Blue Hole, catch fish and gather resources, return before running out of oxygen or cargo space, run the sushi restaurant at night, reinvest profits into weapons, gear, and staff, then repeat as new areas and tools unlock. That loop works because it rewards the player continuously — every dive leaves a mark on the restaurant, and every successful night makes the next dive easier — though repetition becomes noticeable in later stages, particularly when tasks call for catching specific species or gathering particular resources again. The Blue Hole itself isn't a static area; fish, resources, and terrain shift somewhat between environments ranging from shallow water to deeper zones and dangerous passages, giving exploration a real sense of adventure and making each trip feel capable of surprises, with a well-paced difficulty curve as oxygen, cargo, and weapon upgrades unlock alongside more aggressive fish and sea bosses. Restaurant management is the part that departs most from typical diving games — choosing a menu, preparing dishes, managing staff numbers, upgrading employee skills, and equipment — and while it's not deep enough to satisfy dedicated simulation fans, it's far from shallow either, with real decisions around staffing, dish quality, and customer demand giving the night a genuinely different rhythm from the day. The progression system is one of the game's most successful elements, with every upgrade genuinely changing how you play — more oxygen means longer dives, bigger cargo means higher returns, better weapons let you face more dangerous creatures, and trained staff make the restaurant less dependent on player intervention. The game also carries a bigger story than its playful shape suggests — Blue Hole secrets, a mysterious underwater civilization, environmental and cultural conflicts, and characters with varied motivations, with Dave himself not a superhero but an ordinary person who acts confused, scared, and kind in turns, making him genuinely likable. Visually, the game uses colorful pixel art combining fine detail in fish and environments with clear cartoonish character design — the sea is rich with color and motion, and the restaurant carries a cozy, distinct visual identity of its own, with music supporting the shift between exploration, cooking, and management moods, giving each section its own character.Where the game runs into trouble is systems bloat — after a while the player isn't just managing diving and the restaurant, but also farming, fish breeding, research, character quests, and events, which can make the task list feel crowded. Repetition grows noticeable in the second half, restaurant management doesn't go deep enough for dedicated sim fans, some dialogue and comedy can feel drawn out or overly broad, and the narrative occasionally pauses to deliver information or unlock a new system rather than develop character.Verdict: An inventive, generous, and genuinely enjoyable game that successfully turns an unusual diving-and-restaurant-management combination into a cohesive, addictive experience — its systems bloat and creeping repetition keep it just short of perfection, but it remains one of its generation's most distinctive and rewarding independent games.

It was a sweet little game with a bit of exploration and nice visual style however very generic loop of getting fish and making dishes

The translation ****! A fun little game with creative presentation and enjoyable effects — it could have been **** why couldn't they just get some native speakers to handle the translation?! The game was made with so much care, yet the localization feels like it was done with zero effort. How can there be so many sentences that are obviously unnatural to any native speaker??? 有趣的小游戏，有意思的演出效果，本来应该属于完美的。 但是为啥就不能找点母语者来翻译！！！结果就是用心做游戏，用脚做翻译，为啥会存在这么多只要本地人一看就知道不通顺的句子啊？？？

Somehow made with the same amount of love as every single one of Bancho's amazing dishes, DAVE THE DIVER meshes the serene and gorgeous act of diving into an ever-changing ocean and the panic-inducing jobs of fighting dangerous sea life and an always overcrowded sushi restaurant into one fantastic experience. As any other great management game, DAVE THE DIVER's progression system allows the player to progress from a scared explorer that can barely catch a few fish to essentially having almost every single part of your sushi enterprise be automated for you as you lay back and mix **** for your clientele. The pixel art is fantastic, the OST and animations are gorgeous, and the game constantly keeps you on your toes, seeing as how basically any boring side quest can turn into a memorable one in the blink of an eye. To me, the game's unpredictability is somehow its greatest weakness and its biggest strength at the same time. Because you never really know what to expect, I found it very difficult to establish a good rhythm with the game. One dive would see me catching a couple dozen fish and finishing a quest in the span of five minutes. The next would see me deeply embroiled in a spy-thriller stealth section with multiple bosses, hidden collectibles, and even a few puzzles thrown into the mix, all the while pausing the gameplay at every possible opportunity to tutorialize completely banal gameplay mechanics, turning what I assumed would be a quick five-minute dive into an hour-long section. After which, I still had to do all of the busywork of tending to my farm, tending to my underwater farm, deciding whether to sell or keep certain things, go seahorse racing, you know, the usual. In moments like these the game felt genuinely overwhelming and like it had no desire to be paced in a fun or coherent way, which made my time with it feel a lot worse than it probably should have. Luckily the pros far outweigh the cons in this one. DAVE THE DIVER is fantastic and an absolutely necessary buy for anyone that enjoys the occasional casual management game.

I find this game really addictive, enjoyable and fun. Once I start playing I don't want to stop.I enjoy trying to find fish and sort out the Sushi shop.However I felt the Sea People content was the weakest and kind of boring, annoying and game would be better without it compared to everything else. I don't like them and wish we could have a option to nuke them out of the ****'s also annoying that there is a limited save. Can only save when not diving. I ended up in the glacial passage, it was taking too long and you can't just exit the game so had to close it in task manager as I had other things to do and don't like leaving games running.I disliked having a 2nd branch of sushi shop to organise. No thanks, I just ignored it as I prefer to focus on one.Because of content I don't like I'd rate this game 7/10 and not 8 or higher.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

dave the diver offers fun balance gameplay between restaurant management, combat gameplay, and other mini game that is fun. pixel-style animation is so cool to see, the main game make me wanna buy the DLC too.

you would think diving for fish and then operating a sushi restaurant would get bored quickly. but nope 20 hours in and i'm stil having fun,. this is one of the best casual games i've ever played. even bought it twice, one for ps5 and again for switch

One of my favorite indie game.

Bu kadar nabız yüksek AAA oyunların dolaştığı bir yerde şu oyunu oynayınca cidden rahatlıyorsunuz oyun mantığı basit sabah balık topla akşam dükkanda sat öyle hikaye mikaye beklemeyin oynayın geçin.

Petit jeu que je voulais lancer sur un PC peu puissant. Je ne m'attendais à rien... Et j'ai été agréablement surpris. Tout est fait pour vous maintenir en haleine, la bande-son, le bestiaire, le gameplay sont d'une richesse incroyable. L'histoire et simple mais prenante. Une des plus belles surprises vidéoludique que j'ai pu avoir.

La verdad muy bueno, lo jugué porque estaba desesperado por jugar algo y me gusto mucho. El único problema que tiene para mi es que ya llegando al final se me hizo pesado de hacer siempre lo mismo y ya cuando lo termine me faltaron un montón de cosas que hacer pero no cambia que sea muy divertido y muy disfrutable. Los jefes están re piolas y ir descubriendo las cosas da mucha satisfacción, las demás mecánicas por ejemplo, plantar semillas, criar peces o el restaurante adicional que te dan casi ni las use pero por mi forma de jugar no por que sean malas. Pero nada en general me gusto mucho, muy divertido :).

Fun game, I like the fishing mechanic and the food part, only issue is that I cant seem to to play it for a long time.

Incredibly overrated game. It's essentially multiple mobile games combined, mixed in with some frustrating diving with terrible controls. I'd give it 6/10, but I'm giving it a 0 to balance all the folks that are simply excited that it's not CoD and have never played a good indie game before.

This is a great showcase for the working applications of the red crustacean, as there are 11 different types of lobsters that you can get and sell as sushi to make money. Alongside that there is an event that encourages you to spread the love and awareness of the red clad hero, being the Lobster Party, which is one of the more varied events in terms of food, only topped by more eccentric seafood, such as the shark, or more common ingredients like tuna. While it doesn't have a lobster boss or a grand quest that involves the lobster, the ever present importance and accessibility of lobsters rank this game as a solid appearance from the main crawlers of the sea.

Mükemmel bir oyun mükemmel ötesi bir deneyim. Uzak Doğu Asya Kültürü ilgimi çektiği için zaten birkaç puan önde başladı bende oyun, yapılacak çok şey var ve bunu o kadar huzur dolu hissettirerek deneyimleme şansı sunuyorlar. Her açıdan zevkli.

Great indie game with fun story and characters, but its little to much sea people side quests and boring tasks connected to their village

I initially passed on this one but gave it a try on a whim. Glad I did. There's a nice story and progression pushing you along. Gameplay has a nice amount of variation to keep things interesting. Date Completed: 2026-01-08 Playtime: 21h Enjoyment: 8/10 Recommendation: Yes

love everything about this game, the graphics, the music. Its all perfect..

Great game. Loved the atmosphere, sound track, and especially the little sushi restaurant during the day. The whole game felt very homely.

I really loved this game. There are too many things like farming, diving, hunting, solving puzzles, cooking (running a restaurant) ext. that we are able to do and they're enjoyable. Graphics? Maybe pixel but nothing to worry about. Gameplay? Awesome. Story? Very interesting. Sidequests and events? FUN, FUN, FUN!

Coisas que me decepcionaram no Dave the Diver 1. A falta de itens, amuletos e armas legais no jogo. 2. A falta de uma evolução ou aspecto roguelike envolvendo as caixas rosas é verdes. 3. O quão repetitivo são os tubarões. 4. A falta de informação nas vendas e funcionários do restaurante. 5. Os enigmas extremamente óbvios e mal feitos. 6. A velocidade de natação ridiculamente baixa que deixa inviável usar outro amuleto se não os 2 de movimento 7. As áreas sem personalidade que geralmente só envolvem um puzzle ou interação pastiche (copiada) sumindo logo em seguida 8. A repetitividade dos dives 9. A punição de perder o inventário e a ociosidade de evoluir (poderiam ter punições que fizessem mais sentidos como: áreas de bosses, noite ser mais difícil e com conteúdo, mobs realmente perigosos etc...) 10. Mapas totalmente repetitivos e aleatoriedade ruim 11. Mecânicas chatas como apertar várias vezes um botão 12. História empacada tendo que voltar várias vezes para algo progredir 13. penalidades chatas, ficar lento, ficar travando e outras são apenas chatas 14. Drops sem sentido e falta de busca/disposição conforme o terreno, dentes de tubarão, ossos e outros loots só ficam lá mofando no seu armazenamento, raramente vc busca por alguma coisa e não existe mt bem um local ou rota para se seguir além do entendiante desce e sobe para farmar peixes como Akami e Quimera num mesmo mergulho 15. Falta de classes ou estilos, até existe algumas armas melle (branca) mas não dá pra upar a fraquinha e a jogabilidade melle é mt mal explorada, além da falta de variedade entre abaletes e movimentos de mergulho, o único é o dash 16. Muito tempo de viagem e telas de loadings, num dia normal vc vai dar comida pro gato, cuidar da fazenda, do aquário, ir até a vila do povo peixe, entrar no barco quebrado e tudoo tem uma tela de loading horrível

Que gran juego. Grandes recuerdos de cuando lo jugamos con Paty. Incluso podría decir que es rejugable.

(№5 2ч..) Слышал много хорошего, что игра скрытый гем. Записал в список. Параллельно с Титанфолом решил попробовать. Да, она правда прикольная. толстичек дайвер и его сушибар. Она ненапряжная, мидитативная, милая. но толи пиксель арт это не моё, толи знал, что знал что игры покруче ждут но через пару часиков удалил. Не исключаю! не исключаю.. что еще вернусь в нее. за 2 часа я там ничего толком то и не узнал, кроме основного смысла. Да, надо будет точно в нее вернуться, буду чилить по вечерам в нее, ненапряжно, под музычку. Механик там говорят насыпали шикарно.! вообщем еще вернусь к Дэйву Дайверу в будущем.

An amazing adventure "fishing" game. Without going into spoilers this game is much more than that and it will surprise you.

The amount of content in this game is insane. I thought this was an ordinary simulator game, where you run a sushi restaurant. But nearly every 15 minutes the game introduces you to a new mechanic.

One of the goofiest and greatest indie games i played. Great diving mechanics with lots of diverse puzzles and minigames centered around satisfying sushi restaurant management.

Done 100% of the game and got the platinum. Really liked it, it felt really fresh as a summer game.

Definitely worth a shot. 10 hours in and the game keeps you so much that you don't wanna quit. Humorous dialogues, cool art designs, easy-to-understand mechanics. Even though it is very chill game, sometimes I find myself in tense situations. Not a huge fan of the main story but the games gives you so much content and cool side quests as well.

Renkli karakterler, mizahi diyaloglar ve nefes kesici deniz altı atmosferiyle dikkat çeken bir macera… Ancak bu derinlik nereye kadar sürüyor? Dave the Diver, ilk bakışta retro görselleri, canlı renk paleti ve eğlenceli atmosferiyle oldukça cezbedici bir deneyim vadediyor. Sıra dışı bir konuya sahip: Gündüzleri balık avlayıp, geceleri o balıklarla sushi restoranı işletiyorsunuz. Üstelik bunu hem kara hem de deniz altı perspektifinden yönetiyorsunuz. Yani bir nevi "iki dünyalı" bir oynanış var. İlk dakikalardan itibaren oyuncuya verdiği hissiyat net: Eğlenmeye geldik, ama biraz da çalışacağız. Oyunun kalbi, elbette denizin metrelerce altına dalıp çeşitli görevleri yerine getirdiğiniz bölümlerde atıyor. Balık avlamak, nadir türleri yakalamak, kaynak toplamak, keşfedilmemiş mağaralara girmek… Başlangıçta tüm bu unsurlar oldukça ilgi çekici ve sürükleyici. Ancak 5-6 saat sonra oyun döngüsü kendini tekrarlamaya başlıyor. Yeni alanlar açılıyor, farklı görevler geliyor ama temel mekanikler büyük ölçüde aynı kalıyor. Bu da, uzun soluklu oyuncular için bir süre sonra temponun düşmesine sebep olabiliyor. Özellikle görevlerin ve aktivitelerin bir noktadan sonra "git-al, getir-götür" formatına oturması, bu güzel evrenin dinamizmini gölgeliyor. Yine de oyunun oyuncuya sürekli mikro hedefler sunması, bu durağanlığı dengelemeye çalışıyor. Dave the Diver, oynanış anlamında zaman zaman tökezlese de karakter tasarımları ve diyalog yazımı konusunda oldukça başarılı bir iş çıkarıyor. Karada karşılaştığınız NPC’ler, deniz altındaki farklı fraksiyonlar ve kendilerini “deniz koruyucuları” olarak tanımlayan tarikat benzeri yapılar, dünyayı canlı ve ilginç kılıyor. Özellikle mizahi diyaloglar, Japon RPG’lerinden aşina olduğumuz türde ama daha batılı bir tonda. Uzun diyaloglardan kaçınılması, tempoyu korurken oyuncuyu sıkmadan hikâyeye bağlamayı başarıyor. Bu anlamda yazarlık ekibini ayrıca tebrik etmek gerekiyor. Denizin dışında kalan kara bölümleri ise, genellikle restoran yönetimi, tarif geliştirme ve müşteri memnuniyeti üzerine kurulu. İlk etapta bu bölümler hoş bir tempo değişimi sunsa da, oynanabilirlik açısından derinlikten ziyade yüzeysel bir destek işlevi görüyor. Yani esas motivasyonu deniz sağlarken, kara sadece destekleyici bir arka plan olarak hizmet ediyor. Dave the Diver, bağımsız oyun dünyasında parlayan bir yıldız olarak karşımıza çıkıyor. Kendine has atmosferi, yaratıcı oynanışı ve sempatik karakterleriyle fark yaratıyor. Ancak bu parıltı, bir süre sonra içerik tekrarına yenik düşebiliyor. Oyunun sunduğu döngü, ilk birkaç saat büyüleyici olsa da, uzun vadede aynı cazibeyi koruyamayabiliyor.Yine de hem görsel sunum hem de oyun içi mizah açısından oldukça zengin bir yapım olduğunu kabul etmek gerek. Eğer deniz altı temalı, eğlenceli ama fazla ciddi olmayan bir deneyim arıyorsanız, Dave the Diver sizin için kesinlikle denemeye değer.

Ayant plus de 100h sur ce jeux, je ne peux que vous le recommander. Amusez et détendez vous.

Didn’t think it would be such addictive for such a simple game. Loving each minutes of it

Wow, what an indy gem. I was bored and almost dropped the game after 30 min, but once it clicked and I made it to day 2, I was never turning back! Amazing game, a lot of fun!

Une expérience en demi-teinte. Certains aspects m’ont plu, d’autres beaucoup moins.

Un jeu vraiment addictif, avec énormément de mécaniques qui vont à coup sûr vous faire passer beaucoup d'heures dessus. Une plongée vidéoludique qui vous fera explorer la douceur et la bienveillance que ses développeurs ont insufflées à leur œuvre.

Very nice and relaxing game that fits on Steam Deck, I played at a friend's and I liked it very much. Unfortunately, I regret it and I will not buy it myself, because there is no Polish language version and even though I know English, playing such games is very tiring in the long run.

This is the pinnacle of sea game genres. Although the replayability is a little meh (you already know all the monsters and events) - the first run you have with this game is so memorable. This made me explore into the sea game genre and I don't think i saw anything quite like this, people point to Subnaughtica which I swear is the most complicated game ive ever played. The lastboss is so BS because u spend all this time getting wpns and upgrades only to use some plot wpn for 100% of the fight. I think the game focuses on its great gameplay but here me out - it gets repeptitive and grindy - there comes a part of the game you dont feel like fishing for sharks, tuna, ect... Also the characters - though the atmosphere is lovely i wish there were more elements/things to do with other characters - its somewhat static / event prompts. I give this a 9. One of the best games ive played.

Diver Dave - a poetic adventure into the deep sea, a romantic love letter to the ocean! [Immersive ocean Aesthetics] Be amazed from the first second! Hand-painted coral reefs are like flowing oil paintings, fluorescent jellyfish stretch their tentacles in their ears, and the rusty mottled remains of shipwrecks hide century-old codes. Every frame is beautiful, as if you can hear the heartbeat of the tide when you wear headphones. 【 Play Symphony 】 You think it's just a diving simulation? A big mistake! By day, I'm an eco-photographer tracking a family of killer whales, by night, I'm a sushi chef running a popular restaurant, and by the time an earthquake strikes, I have to rescue stranded tourists. Free exploration and the main line of the mission fit together, the theme of Marine protection throughout, even picking up garbage can trigger the hidden plot! The yellowing dive log in the backpack, the seasonal fish catch on the countertop, and even the moss that moves with the current in an underwater cave - the team sews a love of the ocean into every pixel. When the humpback whale sings from the abyss, suddenly understand the "ninth art." It's not just a game, it's a ritual to awaken memories of the deep sea. If you've ever dreamed of growing gills and scales, let Dave plunge you into this surreal and realistic undersea utopia!

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

I like it. The swim sessions are cool, with all the unique exploration and progression. But the cooking parts are just boring.

Cute, cozy, charming. A delightfully light deep diving / sushi management game with an excellent story and endearing characters from Dave on down!

A fine game let down by the early and late game. It was slow to start but then went on for a few hours too long. The core fishing loop was fun once you got into it but quickly became boring & repetitive which they did make strides to change but just replaced with more repetitive busy work. Also far too much hand holding, no matter how obvious your next step would be, Dave would chime in essentially telling you what to do.
