Dave the Diver
I’m going to just sidestep the “What is an indie game” debate that Dave the Diver set off last week and just talk about how great this game is. Playing as a portly and happy underwater explorer who also runs a sushi shop is a blast, thanks in large part to how great every part of the game feels.
Fishing is fun. Running the restaurant is hectic, but feels good. And all the other things you do (which I won’t spoil here) are just as well-made as anything else in Dave the Diver. It ends up offering a vast, colorful experience that never feels boring or overstuffed. An impressive feat, indie game or not. — Zack Zwiezen
