If you're into this type of game, it seems like you won't be let down, as it's holding a score of 90 on Metacritic. It should have no issues running on the Nintendo Switch hardware, and it's looking like it's going to be a perfect fit for the console.

What is Dave the Diver?

Dave the Diver is a unique blend of a few different genres. At its core, the game revolves around exploration and fishing by day so you can run your sushi restaurant at night. It sounds eclectic, but the idea works quite well.

The game costs $20 USD on Steam, so it's fair to assume it'll be around the same price on the Switch. With hours upon hours of content ahead, it's well worth the price of admission. If you've ever wished the fishing minigames in other titles could be expanded upon, then Dave the Diver will certainly scratch that itch.

For the boat, players can expect an 8-bit design that fits in with the rest of the world. The lamp doesn't have a description for the design, though the developers themselves described it as retro and cute.
