Dave the Diver

Difficulty: Pretty easy! I think there was only one boss fight that gave me some trouble the but the main boss at the end was doable in one try. I think it was a little difficult to get away from some of the larger sea creatures like the sharks, but still pretty doable to get away from them. 

How long to beat the game: If I were to sit down and play the whole thing through this game could be done in a couple weeks for me. It is really not a long game (the main story at least) and the bosses are not hard to beat. 

Best parts about the game: I mean I worked in aquariums for 10 years, so it was really cool to see all the different types of fish/invertebrates/mammals in the game. I also enjoyed the collaboration with Balatro for that part in the Sea People challenge. This was a super cute game that has a lot of components to it. You've got the farming stuff, restaurant management stuff, then some action with catching all the fish. There was a nice mix of activities to do in the game while still sticking to the story. I've mentioned this before with this game, but I really enjoy how much the developers seem to enjoy making the game. I didn't know if I was gonna like it because there are a lot of parts that are technically timed (like how much air is in your tank) but there were a ton of areas where you could replenish your air supply. The sea people quests were probably the most annoying part of the game, but honestly, the little sea people village was super cute. I could see people continuing to play after the main story is completed to just focus on the sushi part of the game. I feel like people are selling all their upgraded sushi for like a million dollars or something which would be fun to continue, but I have too many damn games to play. The animation style is what drew me to the game. I am such a sucker for pixel graphs with a hint of modernness lol.
