Where do I start...

I had only a slight interest in this game and purchased it on a whim after seeing so many buzzing reviews about it and have no regrets whatsoever. You start off as a fat diver named Dave (duh) with the main goal initially to go diving and catch fish. Soon after you start however you'll be tasked with managing a Sushi restaurant at night and everything that comes along with it such as the menu, staff and new recipes. You can hire new staff, train them and send them off on dispatch missions to get new ingredients. The management aspect of the game is somewhat light yet still extremely fun.

There are a few other locations that require light management but I won't go into that due to spoilers. The game is constantly giving you new mechanics such as a card collecting game (a la "Pocket Monster" style"), various upgrades and mini-tasks like that seen in Animal Crossing New Leaf. Although you're often being introduced to new mechanic it doesn't at any point feel overwhelming or thrown in for the sake of it.

I find myself thinking about playing it and what I need to work towards whilst doing other things throughout my day so yeah, I would highly recommend it.

I had no interest in simulator games or trucks but had heard good things of ETS2 so decided to pick it up.
This is without a doubt my favourite Steam game of all time.

There’s something calming about picking up a trailer and driving the open road whilst listening to a fan run radio station. You start off borrowing trucks and doing deliveries across Europe but you’ll soon be driving your own truck and eventually using your trailer to take cargo from point A to point B. You drive real roads and are given free reign on the jobs you pick up, trucks you buy and drivers you hire to work for your company.
The customisation options for your truck/trailer are fantastic and really immerse you in the game.

Being a simulator game you have to manage things like damage, gas and tiredness but not once does this feel like a chore.

If you can’t tell already I would highly recommend this game to those that have interest in simulator games and those who do not.

One of the most relaxing and tranquil games I've played.

Don't be put off by the farming aspect of the game because planting/tending to crops, collecting produce and making products will soon become second nature. This game has it all; RPG elements, Dungeon Crawling, Simulation and Action. The music and graphics are great too.

It's a nice break from your big action game or if you want something to zone out and play without having to worry about winning/being beat.

One of my favourite games of all time. Would highly recommend.

A game unlike any other I've played before. Marking documents and sometimes getting them wrong actually makes me feel bad/frustrated in a way no other game does. There's a loads different characters with a lot of random events. Graphics aren't what make this game but the characters, events and bleak scenario do.

I picked this up in the sale but I'd happily of paid full price for it. For those looking for something different and interesting - this is the game for you.
