Good fun I'm not a fan of the aiming and forced button presses for harpoon fishing honestly but that is an addictive gameplay loop done well here. The Sushi restaurant side of things I would've liked some more complexity or an option for longer opening hours such as opening during the afternoon - not for economy issues It just felt it had more to give. It's a shame the cooking mama gameplay is reserved for certain VIPs much of which come late into the main content. It's a very back ended game becoming more reliant and heavy on gimmicks and joke scenarios seemingly because it isn't confident in the gameplay loop it's presented for the last 10-15 hours. It goes too far in some of these more indulgent encounters especially an egregious chase sequence that far outstays its welcome. Had the mini games that crop up more towards the final few hours of the game been better spread out among the other new additions to farming etc. It might've gone down better for me but the ending and game was fine if a bit anticlimatic for sequel/dlc bait (who knows what's next after Godzilla content.)

- Weird game about being a diver and catching fish that spirals out of control.
- Keeps introducing new stuff that it never feels stale.
- While there is a lot of stuff you can do in this game, a lot of it is shallow.

its a cute game with a lot of charm, but i feel like the amount of money pouring out of it kind of backfired. there's a bunch of little things you can spend your time paying attention to and the systems fall short enough that you get burnt out before seeing most of them through. i was here for the restaurant management and it was kinda fun, but that was a very small piece of an overly large game.

Great first half with fun gameplay loop and momentum building thanks to continuous addition of smart mechanics. Second half becomes a bit repetitive and convoluted. Story mostly uninteresting.

Cool concepts and ideas, just not something I feel like I'd want to put 20+ hours into. Glad I finally got to try it, though.

"Platinado" na steam.

Ele sabe muito bem ir introduzindo de pouco em pouco os diferentes tipos de mecânicas que o jogo oferece. Infelizmente a curva de aprendizado e necessidade de todas elas não vem no mesmo equilibrio.

Adoro o elenco dos personagens, animações e trilha sonora. O Dave é um personagem muito maneiro e espero que possamos ter mais :D
