Been cooking up this tasty #DaveTheDiver collab in our latest #LumaIsland summer update! It's been a bunch of fun to work on sounds for this crossover.

Got to play some #Wartales with friends last night and we had a fun time. There’s a lot to surviving the beginning that we need to figure out, but it seems like a solid choice after we finish off #DivinityOriginalSin2.

I’ve also started playing #DaveTheDiver and enjoying the beginning of it.

I thoroughly appreciate the whimsy in #DaveTheDiver, such as the silly cutscene when upgrading my jungle net gun (and learning new sushi and grilling recipes, etc.)

This game is just delightful, and a nice palette cleanser from the multiple FPS and 3PS I play.

I just finished the Godzilla mission in #DaveTheDiver. 😆

off to a new adventure! #davethediver

We watched our in-law’s kids the other week, which means lots of #SteamDeck time. Although I got a travel TV dock which works great.

Restarted #DaveTheDiver and went hard with it because I do enjoy the game, have just been distracted by other games and life. New DLC today that I hope to jump into when I finish the base game.

I think I’m about halfway through or so? Maybe 2/3? Anyone around who I can ask/verify how far I am? I don’t want to put spoilers on main.

Total NewPlays: **400**

Game: Dave The Diver

Platform: Steam

Dave The Diver is a 2D sideways-scrolling pixel-art* game that's part management sim, part fishing sim, part restaurant game, and part action-adventure RPG.

When Dave the Diver first showed up on Steam a few months ago, I was still very much of the "pixel-art-no-thank-you" mindset, so it was a pass.

Then I saw some folks raving about how good it is, and then the free Dredge DLC was announced, and I went back and added it to my wishlist.

As they're currently offering a "Dredging & Diving Bundle" on Steam which meant the game was cheaper than the sale price (by a couple of bucks), I decided to add one more game to my pile of shame, and then take it off again, and what a way to finish this project out.

It is REALLY hard to categorise, because it pulls gameplay aspects from multiple different genres, and it's probably best if I lay it out.

Firstly, to address that asterisk against pixel-art, the game uses pixel-art for the gameplay, but uses vector art for the UI, which is a great way to make the game feel up-to-date.

The game opens with Dave relaxing on a beach, drinking a beer, when his phone rings, and he gets a job offer. Queue plane & map intro cut-scene.

A guy named Cobra has offered Dave a job diving in "the Blue Hole", which is a procedurally generated environment that is different on each dive.

After a tutorial sequence, where you learn to catch fish with a harpoon (fishing sim!), you learn that you've been roped into managing a sushi bar as well (management sim!).

Dive twice during the day to complete quests (RPG gameplay!) and catch the fish that you then use at night to set the nightly sushi bar menu.

Oh, and you're also the sushi bar waiter; this takes partial gameplay ideas from cooking sims like "Cook, Serve, Delicious!" in that the various customers will order the things that you've added to the menu, and the cook (thank goodness!) prepares each meal, as you run back and forth serving them, and cleaning up after some detty pigs, as well as another mini-game where you need to pour green tea and fill the cup perfectly.

Some of the RPG gameplay elements like equipment upgrades and weapon upgrades are handled through unlockable "apps" on an in-game "smartphone", and given that there are a number of preloaded apps on the phone with locks on them, looks like there are more mini-games as well.

Somehow, though, the devs managed to pull this off in such a way that it all fits together seamlessly, and is a lot of fun as well.

So, there you have it; for my final game review of 2023, Dave the Diver is:

5: Excellent
