Honestly, the game was extremely disappointing, but I can't reasonably give it less than a 3.5. It is inferior to its predecessor in almost every way. Felt like just a large dlc to BOTW. I would have been significantly happier if the game was not set in Hyrule.

Interesting game. Neat concept. I wish they wouldn't have gone for a supernatural story, as I think the idea of searching for a missing woman by digging through her phone is interesting enough as is. The idea that you are just some random guy who picked up her phone and is now answering all of her messages is a little weird. Wish they would've come up with a better explanation. BUT the game was neat. I plan on playing the others to see if they improved upon the concept
Cute. Characters are just archetypes, but still charming. Some of them minigames are a bit arbitrary and end up impacting the ending you can get, which kinda sucks.

Cute beaver city builder! Definitely enjoyed it for a few days, but lacks an end goal. I wish maps were randomly generated instead of being set. Limits replayablity.

Delightful. Good use of visual storytelling. Graphics are beautiful. Definitely play with headphones. You don't want to miss the music. I wish there were more recipes. I would love if they added some extra ones.

Beautiful color and music. Really weird tho. Felt like a David Bowie drug trip. Controls were a bit janky a didn't always seem to understand inputs correctly. Fun, but I'm glad it didn't go on any longer

Fun! Interesting lore. First time playing a game like this. Would recommend

Pretty good overall. Web slinging is super fun and the highlight of the game. Story was decent, but could have been better. Stealth was meh. Combat was meh. Inundated with collectibles. Hopefully the sequel is not mired in unpleasantries.
Cute game. Really enjoyed the references to classic horror movies. Puzzles were a little annoying at times. Pixel graphics were cute. I liked that the point-and-click adventures were encapsulated in small bite-sized chunks.
I stopped just short of the final boss. Maybe I'll go back eventually. But I couldn't stomach another long grindy boss fight. Besides that, the game is endearing. It's funny. Mechanics are fun. The story is a bit tropey and the humor is sometimes questionable. Looking forward to the sequel.
Charming! Beautiful colors and music! Wonderful message. Controls were a little janky. Probably shouldn't have been given immediate access to the whole map and it was a bit unclear that certain animals were unlocked through story progression. Too many random side quests too. However, it's a short game and definitely worth playing. Love the representation.
Not as good as Danganronpa, but similar enough that it scratched the itch I had. Visuals, character design, and music pretty good. Story a little lackluster. Too predictable for a detective game, but also too much revealed too late.
I love Danganronpa. I've tried this game a couple times. I can't do it. The controls are clunky. The story is contrived. It's not interesting. It's too over the top without the charm that the mainline series has.

Dave the Diver is cute and a game that is definitely worth playing. Very charming. It gives me hope that in a time where AAA games are on the decline that there will once again be the rise of the Indie game. The characters are endearing. The music is relaxing. Fishing is a genuine joy. I will pay close attention to what this studio does in the future,
BUT. Dave the Diver doesn't know what it wants to be. It couldn't decide so it picked to be everything. It would be much better game if it picked a couple things and fleshed them out instead of just being mediocre at most things. I wish they had just focused on the fishing / running a sushi restaurant. We could even keep the vegetable and fish farm. Perfect that gameplay loop. I think that could have been a 10/10 game. But instead it tried to do too much and forgot what it's main purpose was. Definitely worth playing, but falls a little short in the end.

What a weird game. Not sure what it was trying to get across but it was interesting to say the least
