Dave The Diver - Blu-ray Forum

Has anyone else tried out this game? After finally beating God of War: Ragnarok, I felt like I needed a "pallette cleanser" before I started on Spider-Man 2. I must say this little game is a gem! I'm about to finish up chapter 5 and I have been completely addicted to it! Nostalgically, it reminds me of some of those 90's LucasArts adventure games like Full Throttle and The Dig! I'm looking forward to experiencing the Godzilla DLC as well.

Has anyone else played and enjoyed this like I have? This should be an indie GOTY contender!

I played it last year. It was one of my favorites. I picked up this and Dredge around the same time. Two of the best gaming purchases I've made in a long time.

I want to, a lot on the backlog. Maybe I will if it's that good?

It's currently on PS Plus if you're subscribed.

Only Essentials here. Will prob buy it eventually unless they add it as a monthly.

I haven't seen this yet. Looks potentially fun.

The gameplay loop is strangely addictive and this is coming from someone who typically hates underwater levels in games. Somehow the developers found a way to make the exploration and combat fun. The resource management is simple enough and not overly cumbersome. I don't know, there's something about this game that has it's hooks in me!

I played the demo on Switch and liked it a lot. Downloaded it on PS5 via PS+ Extra. Not sure when I’ll get around to it. May still just buy it on Switch if it goes on sale as I’m more likely to play games with retro-ish graphics portably and spend my TV gaming time on AAA games.

I had bought this to play on Steam Deck but was surprised to find that I vastly preferred playing on my 77" OLED. There are some pretty small fish and items during the diving sections and I felt like I was missing stuff when playing on the smaller screen. Plus, the world really came to life on the TV. It has really good audio and visual design.
