Dave the Diver feels like a blend of several Steam sale about to kick off, you've got to try this.
Released on Wednesday, June 28, following a stint in early access, Dave the Diver has accrued 12,445 Steam reviews, with 97% of them being positive. That gives the indie game a complete 10 out of 10 rating on Valve's storefront, likely marking Dave the Diver as one of 2023's must-plays.
The game is divided into two halves. As the eponymous Dave, you spend the daytime portion exploring the depths of the 'Blue Hole,' a local fishing spot filled with treasures, predatory sea monsters, and even other, hostile divers. You need to catch and collect as much as you can, however, as night-time introduces the management game aspect of Dave the Diver, whereby you cook and serve in a busy sushi restaurant.
Everyone you meet has a (usually absurd) story, and there are some genuinely laugh-out-loud moments here. With over 18,000 Steam players already, Dave the Diver is definitely one to try, especially since it's currently available at an introductory discount. You can get Dave the Diver on Steam for $17.99 / £15.29, down from $19.99 / £16.99. Just head right here.
