Dave the Diver is the most charming game of 2023, and a must play DaveTheDiver opinion features
Dave the Diver is a fairly unassuming game at first glance, but it has gained a lot of attention both critically and from players.This is partially thanks to its pixel aesthetic that draws comparisons to Stardew Valley, because that’s the only 16-bit game, duh.
Dave himself is an obvious starting point, very much flagged as being an unlikely sort of hero with characters cracking jokes about his everyman appearance. Other characters such as the sushi chef Bancho, who clearly has a mysterious past that’s revealed over the course of the game. His skills in the kitchen, however, are unmatched, and illustrated by the use of cutscenes that are being called ‘phenomenal’ by the community at large.
It’s these characters that you grow fond of over time, even if they start off as stereotypes. Duff is one of these, as he is depicted as an overweight shut-in with an unhealthy obsession over an anime band. While this is somewhat played for laughs at first, as you progress through the game and start to get to know him, and how he deals with his solitude, you start to feel sympathy for him.
Importantly, there’s always something to do in Dave the Diver. It’s a game that keeps you busy and never makes it feel like you’re doing busy work. And even if you’ve only got a short amount of time to dedicate to the game in a particular session, you can always come away feeling you’ve achieved something. Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing are two somewhat similar games that also nail this aspect, and the inspiration is clear to see.
