DAVE THE DIVER

Very fun, very chill game. Excellent example of great game design. Casual yet engaging, and keeps you hooked the entire time.

Después de 80 horas, pasar por muchos sucesos en el Blue Hole y ver todas las cosas que se pueden hacer en este juego aquí esta mi reseña: Y es que hace rato no me pasaba eso de quedarme enganchado tanto por la historia como por la jugabilidad al mismo tiempo. Dave The Diver logra algo que pocos juegos consiguen hoy en día, y es contar una historia bonita, con corazón, sin que se sienta forzada. La narrativa te va llevando de a poco por las aguas del Blue Hole, con personajes que uno termina queriendo y momentos que combinan humor con toques emotivos que no me esperaba. No es una historia "profunda" en el sentido pretencioso, pero sí es honesta y bien contada, y eso hoy en día vale oro. Después está la mecánica de farmeo, que engancha muchísimo más de lo que uno esperaría. Bucear de día para conseguir pescados e ingredientes, y de noche manejar el restaurante de sushi, crea un loop de "una partida más" que es algo a lo que ya estamos acostumbrados pero lo hace ameno y bien ejecutado. Cada mejora, cada nuevo ingrediente o arma se siente como progreso real, no como grindeo por que sí. Construir tu negocio, mejorarlo, contratar empleados y todo eso de verdad te hace querer seguir jugando. Así que si llevas tiempo buscando un juego que te atrape por su historia y que además te mantenga jugando por su gameplay satisfactorio, este juego es una excelente compra; además de su hermoso arte y estilo pixel art, es una joya Le doy un solido 9 de 10 👌🏻

TL;DR -I truly wish this game focused more about being Dave the Diver, rather than trying to fit 50 mobile games into one title. This game has been in my wishlist for over 2 years, and I was eagerly waiting for a sale that would allow me to purchase it. I took interest because I saw Nexon was invovled, and despite their lack of MMO game management, I know their team is excellent. Necord is an absolute blast of a company that produced incredible soundtracks. Came for the soundtracks... Where are they? There are very little soundtrack options - you are usually diving with the same track playing, which has greatly disappointed me knowing Necord is invovled, and knowing what they are capable of. I can't understand how you sent them to make those stupid mini game fake kpop songs instead of actual in-game soundtrack. As a HUGE fan of Maplestory BGM, this has immensely disappointed me Boss fights were not fun for me. John watson is a great example of a poorly designed boss. Not because it was hard, but it was truly unenjoyable. His fight is built around swimming in circles and hoping he doesn't shoot the rocket into the ceiling, which is possible. The swing mechanic doesn't return the rocket in the way you expect it to, which is something the game lacks in general. Things that should be intuitive don't work the way they "should"... The exploration is fun, but sometimes the fish movement and mechanics just screw you for no reason. I have died plenty in well planned runs(oxygen levels, weight limit, depth limit knowledge) because an enemy decided to bounce off a wall in an unexpected way and suddenly damage me. I think the death in this game is fair, but I can't defend the weird animal movement and inaccurate hitboxes. This game is supposed to reward risky play(stronger fish give meat that produces expensive dishes), but it is impossible when fish hit you when you don't actually collide with them. It makes playing 'risky' very unrewarding, and instead rewards long ranged combat which is way less interesting. Finally, I would like to address the holding of hands, in the wrong areas of the game. Instead of explaining to me what my stats related to waiters actually do, or allowing me to understand before a service, how much I would spend on my staff members - which is where they SHOULD help you out, they hold your hand in every single puzzle, without the slightest chance to try and understand it on your own. Every time there was an opportunity for me to solve a maze, the game is paused, a text box that describes EXACTLY what to do appears, and then the game is unpaused. I can't stand games that make you feel stupid. I think it's fair to say that this game is fantastic at assuming you are absolutely useless and must be shown how to play. Overall, this is a good game. But it fell short of my expectations of it. I have been waiting for years to buy it, and expected it to be my new favorite game. I guess it wasn't as great as I hoped... I hope that you will enjoy it more than I did, at the very least.

yay so fun sushi man

This game is one of the most charming and love-filled games I've played. It's clearly crafted with care, and they'll add throw-away new mechanics that pop up once or twice just for the fun of something new and fresh being added in. The characters are all so charming and entertaining, especially the central characters, and it's a delight to see them evolve and grow to trust and help one another with time. From reading other reviews, a lots of the bits people find game breaking (bosses, catching certain fish, and so forth) become very doable, of not a total cake walk, so long as you have the right gun or upgrade, and I never found I particularly had to grind for anything outside of one or two dives with a set goal in mind. I think that this game really shines if you assume the game designers have not only put thought and care into it, but if you trust them to have built a game that's meant to be fun. Trust them to have workarounds or clever tricks or cool gear built into the game, them go find it, and it'll be simple with just enough demand to keep you focused. I can't aim for ♥♥♥♥ and I have no patience whatsoever, and even I found I beat most bosses first time or with a couple restarts. I've mostly played this on the playstation, but wanted to leave a Steam review for folks thinking about buying it :)

缝合了许多玩法的游戏，量大管饱 但是到了后期略微无聊 总体而言还是推荐打折入手的
