After only 3 hours this fishing and restaurant management RPG has rocketed to the top of my GOTY shortlist

Three cheerful people, one of them in a scuba outfit

It was already enough that a game let me go spearfishing in the morning and then serve the fish I caught in a sushi restaurant in the evening. I was perfectly content doing that and only that: diving into a beautiful ocean, hunting for colorful fish, putting together a menu, and then serving customers until closing time. Blissful!

But that's honestly just the beginning in Dave The Diver, which just hit 1.0 this week after 10 months in early access. It's quickly shaping up to be one of my favorite games of the year—and I say that confidently after only playing it for a few hours.
