Very good game. Looks great, music is nice, short animations are funny, catching fish is fun and relaxing. The game keeps throwing new things at you at a steady pace, but a lot of it isn't required for the story to progress, giving you a lot of freedom during your playthrough. Well worth the money, I'm still in my first playthrough, even though I already completed the main story a while back. There are so many optional things to do and complete. And just swimming around is pretty relaxing.
三年过去了 我主线通关两次 每次都他妈被你那猪脑开发者设计的巧死小游戏玩得恶心红温。主线又臭又长,纯通马桶,多数解密和boss毫无提示,最后第六章要我单人玩家同时操控两个角色竞速解密????????你把玩家当人了吗? 最后一句好言相劝开发者:玩家的体验才是第一位,我玩潜水员戴夫是为了休闲观光。你的主线的小游戏根本不是我想玩的,但是你为什么塞了这么多折磨玩家的内容在主线呢?不玩你那又臭又长的主线,我甚至体验不了完整的游戏。而且里面有大量的没有提示的boss关卡,让我不得不找攻略。这让我的潜水之旅变得非常差劲和恶心。如果你真的想做一个玩家喜欢的,请重视玩家的体验,没必要为了填充内容而做游戏。 Final piece of friendly advice for the developers: The player experience comes first. I play Dave the Diver for relaxation and sightseeing. The mini-games in your main story are not what I want to play at all, so why have you crammed so much torturous content into the main storyline? If I don't play that overly long and tedious main quest, I can't even experience the full game. And there are plenty of boss stages with no hints, forcing me to look up guides. This makes my diving journey extremely unpleasant and frustrating. If you truly want to make a game that players will love, please prioritize the player experience—there's no need to pad out the game just for the sake of filling content.
i was deep in the game so much i wasnt even noticing time goes by. i havent felt like this for many years. THIS IS TRURLY AN AWESOME GAME!
love this game
It should notify you when a game you started 2 years ago adds a AI Generated Content Disclosure in 2026 onwards so you don't continue playing it after a big hiatus tbh yuck
Muito divertido, virou um dos meu jogos favoritos, vale a pena platinar!
A game about fishing, farming and running a sushi restaurant with resource management. Content include: sea monsters, collecting and upgrading guns, making photo's, collecting trophy cards, solving little puzzles, cats, mermaids, Godzilla, anime waifu (sort of), boss battles, rhythm challenges and several other mini games. Yeah, it's that wicked. It even includes some content/ideas from [i]Dredge[/i], made in coop with the developers of that game. As you can probably tell, this game has a lot of variety in gameplay mechanics and there's a ton of things to do. The main story alone takes over 25 hours to complete. At least double that if you want to 100% it. The gameplay loop might become grindy though, especially if you're after the achievements. Grindy, but lots of fun and a very serious time sink.
건목열매 따는거 시발! 만들꺼면 그만두기도 만들던가 재도전만 존나하는데 가방꽉차있으면 느려지는데 시발 미션 클리어하고 배로 갈랬드만 시발 건목열매따래 미친놈아!!!!! 청세치 존나잡아서 행복 플래그 존나 세웠는데 미친 개발자 새끼야 재시작만 쳐 너놓는거 맞냐? 그만두기도 쳐!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 넣놓던가 시발놈아!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
