Despite being an indie game, Dave the Diver shook the gaming world by securing nominations for multiple awards. It was nominated for the Best Independent Game of 2023 at The Game Awards and Adventure Game of the Year at the D.I.C.E. Awards. It didn’t win them but received a BAFTA award for the best Game Design.

Those who have dived in know the game design is unique. The game has two phases, each posing different challenges. Dave the Diver players first dive into the seas and search for materials, from fish to pearls and all sorts of items. And in the evenings, they don their suits and run a sushi restaurant.

While the basics sound simple, Dave the Diver has a few complex mechanics that will keep you glued to your monitors for hours. If you have PS Plus, now is your chance to play the indie hit.
