How we pick them
We compare the tags the Steam community gives each game with our own classification: what you do (action, story, building…), the difficulty, how long sessions last and whether you play alone or with others. Nobody pays to appear.
About Dave the Diver
By day you dive into an ocean trench that changes every time to catch ingredients; by night you run a sushi restaurant. In between, mini-games, eccentric characters and a story full of humour. It's always adding something new.
