فكرة اللعبة بسيطة: تغوص بالنهار وتدير مطعم بالليل. بالبداية كنت مستمتع بشكل غريب، كل شوي فكرة جديدة، مفاجآت غريبة، كوميديا رهيبة، وتنوع يخليك دايم متحمس. عندك صيد، إدارة مطعم ومزارع، ميني قيمز، وحتى إشارات لألعاب وشخصيات معروفة

لكن بعد حوالي 15 ساعة، فجأة تغيّر كل شيء… نفس الأشياء اللي كنت أنبهر منها صارت تمر مرور عادي، بدأ يبان إن هالتنوع جاي على حساب العمق، والأنظمة ظلت بسيطة وما تطورت، فصار كل شيء روتيني، وكبر معه إحساس إن اللعبة طولت أكثر من اللازم. وبدل ما أقول: وش الجديد؟ صرت أفكر: متى بتخلص؟

بصراحة كانت تجربة ممتعة ومليانة مفاجآت… لكن كان ممكن تكون أقوى بكثير لو كانت أعمق، أو عرفت متى توقف

Enjoyed the cozy collection aspect of this game. Only thing left is to get all the achievements.

Fun gameloop with a lot of collaborations. Very enjoyable

maybe someday i will finish

Easily one of my top favorite games of all time.

This game got me hooked. I loved every part of it. Fishing and trying to find new kind of fish is really but, but I'll have to admit that I had more fun with the gestion of the sushi restaurant. I found myself playing it for hours and forgetting the time of day.

I 100% recommand

Full logros, gran juego para jugar de chill

Great game. Absolute fire music soundtrack. Great story. Controls and fish hitboxes can feel a bit clunky at times, but otherwise great game!

Ich liebe Dave! Absolute Empfehlung!!!! Soundtrack, Cutscenes, Charaktere, Gameplay... absoluter Wahnsinn. Wieder ein Spiel, bei dem ich super traurig war, als es dann beendet war.

เกมดีชิลๆ

Inkl. DLC's

The saying "Jack of all trades and a master of none" comes to mind with this game.

...

Dave The Diver starts off with a nice calm atmosphere, and introduces the main premise.

Soon after, new mechanics are added, and it's an exciting moment: suit upgrades! A little while after that, another mechanic is introduced. Then another. And another. Take pictures! Do side quests! You unlocked the redacted place!

This carried on for hours, mechanics upon mechanics, until it was more than a little exhausting. A couple of missions required you to "go back to the boat and wait a couple days", which felt a lot like padding, when all I wanted to do was continue the missions.

Boss fights were interesting in their design, but typically frustrating in their execution: Dave's slow swimming combined with small arenas and very large enemies meant damage was almost inevitable, until a good run took place.

Dialogue also felt awkward, and padded. Dave kept on repeating statements as a question: "You can catch fish!" "...Fish?!" "Yes, Dave, fish!"

Story was pretty low maintenance and quite forgettable. Whilst there was a through-line, it felt like it took second place to the TONS OF THINGS you needed to do. DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN REDACTED?

Positives: the main, basic gameplay loop of the game -- go diving, catch fish, scavenge, and then make sushi -- was relaxing and rewarding in and of itself, to a point. The music suited it nicely, although sometimes it was little more than background music in its style. The game looked beautiful, I loved the 3D/2D mix, and the use of pixel art in the cutscenes was brilliant.

Overall though, I felt bombarded with "exciting new things", which on the surface seemed cool, but after 15-20 hours became tedious at best. It all just became too much; like eating a meal and having chicken, steak, bacon, eggs, fish, peas and beans at the same time. Surface-level quality, resulting in surface-level engagement from me.
