Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

I love Dave the Diver. It's one of my favorite random purchases on Steam over the past couple months, and I'm glad to see it's getting some attention.

It really is an excellent game; It's been in Early Access for a while and recently hit the big 1.0 milestone, so some friends and I all decided to pick it up. I'm now over 20 hours in and it's still revealing delightful new mechanics, minigames, and systems even when I think I've seen everything. The personality and sense of humor throughout is just great, it never takes itself too seriously and wears its influences on its sleeve.

Is it like Stardew Valley or more hardcore? My fiance loves casual games like Stardew, Harvest Moon, and Animal Crossing but hates anything where she could "lose" (basically).

On the one hand, it seems like it gives me Stardew vibes, but on the other hand I see the word "roguelike" and wonder if maybe she's going to get frustrated and stop playing it.

I’d put it about the same as Stardew. There are boss fights and there are some jerk animals that are dangerous and a PITA to kill but generally you can avoid them or develop ways to deal with them. Overall it’s a fantastic game with a great sense of humor and just when you feel like you’ve done all there is a whole new mechanic is unlocked.
