DAVE THE DIVER - A True Delight | Complete Review + 1.0 Release Updates
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- Dave the Diver hooked me in a matter of minutes and simply refused to let go. This occasionally intense but much more often casual (relaxing, even) single-player adventure RPG/marine-tycoon features addicting deep-sea exploration and fishing mechanics by day, and charming mini-game based sushi restaurant management mechanics by night. Oh, and it's only $20.
As always, I hope you enjoy this short, spoiler-free review + thoughts on the game’s 1.0 release.

My favorite updates from the 1.0 release:
- Picking up a new gun no longer makes your old one disappear! Instead, the old one will appear as an item in front of the gun chest that you can swap back to if you don't like your new one. (Only downside is that this eliminates some of the exciting RNG gamble that went into deciding whether or not swap your gun.)
- Harvesting a giant fish is now done via underwater "salvage drone" that takes the haul right to your boat. In the EA version, the big fish were so heavy that harvesting one meant your run was basically over because you'd be encumbered.
- There's a new shovel weapon that melee attacks downward. This helps with those annoying encounters where a fish would attack from beneath and you'd have to swim for a good while before your firing angle would allow you to kill it.
- Farming got a big overhaul. New crops, animals, etc.
- If you buy the deluxe version ($25 instead of the standard release's $20) you get new boat skins, a digital art book, and the game's wonderful soundtrack.
ayayay, thx!

Who would have thought that a company with very questionable practices (Nexon) would be able to produce such a delightful game. Great review!!
I know! Maybe this marks the beginning of their redemption arc? (Hey, a kid can dream...)
Only took 10 years
Solid review of a hidden gem brotha. You know I'm something of a scuba diver myself 😂
Thanks, dude, hope you're doing well! As for scuba diving, Dave the Diver is the closest I'll ever get to deep ocean 🙅
You plan on doing a Baldurs Gate 3 review?
I'd very much like to! It looks awesome and Larian Studios has never let me down. Stay tuned ;)
Same sentiments. It only took me an hour for this game to win me over and recommend it to my friends. I had fun playing Dredge so this is definitely right up my alley. Thank you for the review.
You're very welcome, and thanks for watching! Dredge is on my list-hope to get to it soon :)
Subbed. Perfectly distilled, succinct content. Really like your visual representation of the scoring you give.
Thank you! I'm really happy to hear that you like the scoring format. Welcome to the channel :)
Sushi ❤❤
This is one of the best games to come out in 2023. I'd pay $35! Just with the shear amount of Free content and constant love the developer has given (worth mentioning). This in itself is unheard of in the gaming industry of greed and micro transactions. Easily a 4.6/5
Agreed! Dave the Diver was arguably my favorite game of 2023 and will always hold a special place in my heart ❤️
gotta love the Dave! finished the demo, now the real thing! :)
Yes! It's probs my personal favorite game of the year 🍣
no puzzles?!
Seems lovely with diverse ideas.
Indeed! It's a real feel-good game that's always seems to be asking itself, "How can we make this more fun?" This lead to a ton of different gameplay ideas that, much more often than not, succeed.
You mean- Diver's ideas??
This game looks so much fun! I was on the fence about buing it, but after your review, I'm sold. And gawd damn, you have a nice way of reviewing! I have to check out your other reviews! 5/5, I'm going to recommend you without reservation to all types of gamers 😇
Wow, thank you so much for the encouragement! I'm really glad you found the channel and welcome :D hope you're enjoying DtD!

@@MEGAthemicro Thank you for checking mine as well, really appreciate that
Cool
Thank you for watching :)
You spoil too much in the footage, otherwise great review
Thanks for that feedback. Because the game's narrative progresses so rapidly, I really struggled with what should/shouldn't be shown in my review. That said, I'll try and do a better job of limiting spoilers in the future.
Great review! Subscribed.
Thank you so much! Welcome to the channel :D
Who would have thought that a company with very questionable practices (Nexon) would be able to produce such a delightful game. Great review!!
