This is a bad 3D fighting game. The moves feel very stiff and in a sense realistic, but that makes it less fun to play. There are multiple modes but all of them boil down to 1v1 fights between the characters.

The good:
The music and stages are great.
The idea of a fighting game with weapons is cool.
More "realistic" fighting in which some moves are satisfying to pull off.

The bad:
The controls feel very stiff. The game is not responsive enough. I feel like faster characters have an advantage.
The game has no story except for some menu text and ending cutscenes for each character.

Conclusion: I'm not that into fighting games so I can't fully determine the game's quality, but it was not fun to play for me. If you're looking to get into Dynasty Warriors, I suggest to skip this entry, as it's not really relevant to the series and not a good game.

I haven't played Dredge, so I'm not the best person to review this, but I'll still try.

The Dredge content pack for Dave the Diver contains 4 new things:
1) A special type of fish called aberrant fish, which come from the game Dredge.
2) A sailing mechanic.
3) A treasure hunting mechanic.
4) Special NPC which eat sushi made with aberrant fish.

I enjoyed the content provided by this pack, especially considering that it's free. The new fish have ugly designs (in a good way) and are difficult to catch, which makes for a fun time. However, I feel like the DLC isn't fully integrated into the game: regular customers can't order aberrant sushi and vice-versa. You won't see the aberrant fish regularly; only on foggy nights and there aren't many of those.
The new treasure-hunting mechanic is just there to make money, and the new sailing mechanic (which I think also comes from Dredge) looks good but doesn't add value to the game.

The good:
The new music tracks are spooky.
The aberrant fish look awesome and fit into the Dave the Diver universe.
Easier to make money with this DLC.
It's free.

The bad:
Almost no story to accompany the DLC.
It's difficult to get into foggy nights.

Conclusion:
As a short, free DLC this was a nice addition. But there's not much to it.

What an amazing game! This game perfectly blends lots of different genres into an enjoyable and relaxing adventure.

The game is about diving, catching fish, and using the fish as ingredients in a sushi restaurant. This makes for a blend of relaxing underwater gameplay with exciting segments of restaurant management.

But the game is not just that! The team at MINTROCKET really packed this game full of content. There are so many things to do and the variety keeps the game fresh and exciting. I don't want to spoil the surprises, but suffice to say this game is larger than I expected.

The good:
The music is good and fits the moods well. The restaurant has a catchy repetitive tune, while the diving sections have relaxing melodies which almost disappear, making you feel immersed. There are also boss battles, and they have fast tracks that make you excited to fight.

The gameplay loop is addictive and fun at its core. As you progress through the game, you keep unlocking new mechanics, mini-games, and game modes, which makes for a rewarding experience.

The characters are funny and I liked the interactions between them. I especially like the protagonist, Dave, who is just a regular guy who dives for work. I enjoyed playing as a good, easygoing guy with no super powers or special abilities.

The bad:
The game has an oxygen meter which depletes as you dive. This effectively acts as your health underwater. Whenever an enemy hits you, you lose some oxygen. But the oxygen also depletes on its own. At the beginning, this can make it difficult to dive for a long time.

Sometimes the gameplay balance feels off. The diving sections can get long while the rest of the game takes a step back. If you don't enjoy the diving sections, I can see that part being unappealing.

Conclusion:
I could feel the love that the developers put into this game at every moment. I loved almost all of it, although there were some parts which were less engaging than others. For example, there is a farming section which I almost entirely ignored. But that's the thing: you can ignore certain parts of the game, so it never really gets overwhelming or annoying.

This is one of the best games I've ever played and I'll be happy to come back to it once the Godzilla DLC comes out.
