I don't even know where to start with Dave the Diver, it is absolutely incredible! I really didn't expect much out of the game just based on the description. Honestly, I don't feel like the description gives it nearly enough credit because there's just so much more than you could even imagine. You start the game and they give you the big goals through the game.. you're out diving throughout the day, and then you run a sushi restaurant at night. Eventually, you start to realize there's even more that you can do within the game. There are so many side quests that you'll run to and I really enjoyed them because there's a lot more depth to the story and it was just so much fun to go through all of them. I really liked the characters and I thought that some of them wouldn't come back, and they did and there's just a lot to their stories and I became really attached to the characters. Later in the game, a lot more options open up and they give you so much freewill to do whatever you want basically. You can even go out and dive at night and find even more creatures, and that was a lot of fun seeing all of them and catching them as well as collecting them. There's also an app introduced to Dave's phone which is very similar to the Pokedex and you can keep track of all the creatures you find in the game which made it much more fun to collect them. You eventually run into the sea people throughout the game which really just opens up so many more possibilities. There's more characters, quests, even more story, some minigames,there's even a farm to maintain in their village for even more ingredients for the sushi restaurant. Oh, and there's also a farm above land later as well with more crops and some chickens.There are so many things to work on whether it's improving gear, improving recipes, leveling up staff, decorating the restaurant, working on the farms and expanding them, there's also a dock opened up later to put captures creatures and eggs into to breed and get more fish and you can expand those as well. I could go on about so many little things about the game that I really loved about it, but at this point I'm just going to try and sum it up at least with my opinion on it. For me, it reminded me a lot of Stardew Valley and the enjoyment for this game is just as strong and everytime I thought that I was running out of things to do, there was more stuff being introduced that was just as fun and just made me want to play even more. With that being said, this game is it's own unique experience and I totally understand why this game is loved so much. There's definitely inspiration from lots of other games or series, but they bring in those ideas and somehow find a way to give their own unique spin on it, but it also just really seems to fit with the game and what they were trying to accomplish with it. Oh, and for any cat lovers out there, you eventually bring in a cat into the restaurant that you get to feed and bond with throughout the game which I really liked as well. There are so many things to love about this game and I don't know if there will be any sort of sequel to the game or anything like that.. but if there is anything like that planned for the future, I am all in for it. If you are looking at this game and debating if it's worth the money or if you'll like it, absolutely give it a chance, it's worth it at full price and absolutely a steal on sales! I hope that this review doesn't come off as too much of a spoiler for the game, I'm just really excited about it and I only hope to help those who do take a look at the game and if you're like me where I tend to get into the reviews to see if it's worth it, and maybe I find something from a review that convinces me to buy it. Honestly, I'll probably be playing the game even more after beating the story or maybe even start over again, this is one of my favorite games that I can think of on steam for sure!
