![]() You can hire staff to be able to handle more guests or prepare sushi more quickly, but in either case you're really just spending money to make the game play itself faster. You pick some fish to use as sushi ingredients for the night and then spend the rest of your time running back and forth between customers and the kitchen to deliver their food or server them drinks. There's almost no depth to it, but it's satisfying in the same way that old Flash-style time management games were. ![]() The restaurant is similarly mostly solid. Outside of some tedious puzzle sections about 80% of the way through the game, the diving is consistently enjoyable. It does feel pointlessly restrictive that some of the boss fights can only be done on a specific day, especially since you're allowed as many retries as you want, but none of them are hard enough for that to be a huge issue. Although the diving gameplay is largely the same from start to finish, boss fights and one-off encounters shake things up occasionally. The first biome mostly has your standard tropical fish that you'd expect from a glance at the game, but you'll find more interesting encounters as you go deeper. Diving has a whiff of roguelite about it since the things you'll encounter are slightly different with every round and you're forced to find most of your equipment in the water. ![]() ![]() There's no denying that it's unique, but does it work? There have been plenty of games over the years that start with a ridiculously ambitious concept and only implement half the systems you'd expect, but Dave starts with a very simple concept and dumps an MMO's worth of subsystems on top of it. Dave will still be a diver at the end of the game, but along the way he'll end up moonlighting as a waiter, a farmer, a gambler, and many, many other things. ![]() Or, at least, that's what it is at the beginning. I wish I could leave a neutral score, but given the options I'm closer to recommending it than not.ĭave the Diver is a laid back game about diving into a semi-randomized ocean trench in order to catch loads of exotic fish to supply a sushi restaurant. ![]()
