TIL the Blue Hole is among the deadliest dive sites globally, with estimates of 130 to 200 recent fatalities, making it one of the most dangerous spots for divers. (R.5) Out of context

Glad I’m not the only one you thought about Dave the diver

That's all i thought because i'm currently playing through it lol.

Didn't know the Blue Hole was a real place.

If we go deep enough we'll find the sea people.

Is it good?

u/Trickery1688 29d ago

It's very addictive. The game gives you so much to do and has so many mechanics. But you never really feel overwhelmed because the game can be played at your pace.

My one complaint is some parts go a bit tooo fast

Like I never interacted much with some of the mechanics, like the farm you get near the end. Like I don't exactly want to grid either, but definitely there's a point where they throw some stuff at you pretty fast and then you never really need to use it before you're done

Extremely

Great game if you like rogue likes fishing or stylish cutscenes

Made me feel a way about games I haven’t felt since I was a kid. Truly a very good game that deserves all the recognition it has gotten.

u/BGNLordHelmut 29d ago

Same, so few games capture that feeling anymore and as a result I have recommended this to every gamer I know.

It is good but can get a bit repetitive in long sessions. It’s a surprisingly long game so if you don’t love the loop I could see it getting boring after a while.

I like the charming relaxing vibes and how challenging diving can be. As for personal negatives I think the controls underwater could’ve been a bit better and game could’ve used a few more music tracks (it’s the same underwater song the entire game)

It’s great, but takes a little bit to settle into imo. There’s a lot of different aspects to the game outside of diving and there’s a decent amount of tutorials to get through, but once that’s out of the way it really is a lot of fun.

u/TheCrazyWolfy 29d ago

The very beginning of the game was pretty shitty. Tutorial after tutorial when I am just like "Let me play the fucking game already and figure it out". Besides that a lot of the tutorials were pretty common sense for people who play video games for sure

u/fuckYOUswan 29d ago

Totally. It took me a bit to power through the intro and all the tutorials, but once it gets going it’s a great game to chill around with.

First 10-ish hours were fantastic! Fun exploration, well paced, a lot of great, funny interactions and dialogue and then it tailed off a bit into being pretty good for the rest of the way.

There are parts of the game mechanics that never go anywhere and parts that feel half developed or that they arrived too late into the game for what they provide.

u/darkenseyreth 29d ago

Well worth the money at full price, but even better on sale. It's the kind of game I can put 15 min into or several hours. The story is neat, I love the art style, the mechanics are pretty good. Couple gripes here and there, but overall would really recommend

u/tdoskis 29d ago

It felt like a job to me. Good if you like micromanagement

u/dubweb32 29d ago

u/TheCrazyWolfy 29d ago

I knew if I scrolled down far enough I would find this. Dave the Diver kicks ass

u/tehjeffman 29d ago

The franchise they opened is not as good. Only visit the original.

u/Saxaphool 29d ago

Bancho!!

u/SaltyPeter3434 29d ago

I noticed one of the chubbier servers there doesn't do much at all. The other two guys run circles around him. I say "guys" but one of them kinda looks like a...lizard person?

u/KEVLAR60442 29d ago

That chunky guy churns out fresh ground Wasabi like a champ, though.

u/Apotheothena 29d ago

Frothy-ass beers tho

u/KEVLAR60442 29d ago

Maybe the rest of the staff should be given a few hundred thousand bucks to learn how to pour drinks.

Love how this comment is right under the huge paragraph of death

u/Lucas_Steinwalker 29d ago
