If you\u2019ve been on the fence about the ocean-faring adventure\/restaurant sim, this is a good chance to check it out without spending any extra money, assuming your PS Plus membership hasn\u2019t lapsed.<\/p>\n<p>For those living under a coral reef, <em>Dave the Diver<\/em> is a wickedly addictive game that wears many hats. The gameplay splits into two primary components. During the day, you explore an ever-changing ocean, with fish to hunt, sharks to fight and mysteries to solve. The deeper you go, the weirder things get.<\/p>\n<p>Once night falls, the action shifts to a sushi restaurant. You hire the staff, plan the menu and serve the guests. This is one part management sim and one part arcade game, with a hectic pace that recalls the coin-op classic <em>Tapper<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"caas-iframe-wrapper\" data-embed-anchor=\"0ad45d76-511d-5599-903d-05c505f37523\">\n<div class=\"caas-iframe youtube\" style=\"padding-bottom:56%\" data-type=\"youtube\">\n<blockquote data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Wbeb9xmOPoU?si=3_4CxU3oTW6ZllUL\"><p><noscript><iframe title=\"Dave The Diver - State of Play Announce Trailer | PS5 &amp; PS4 Games\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Wbeb9xmOPoU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The two gameplay mechanics shouldn\u2019t mesh well, being so wildly different, but somehow they do.
