    Well deserved. Game is crazy good

    I combed over the handful of negative reviews just to see what was up, since I’ve been enjoying the game so much. A bad habit of mine, but I digress.

    Fully half of them are centered around some mandatory button mashing segments, a fair criticism. The devs are responding to these complaints and say they’re working on adding an accessibility option, which I support. I hate the mashing.

    As for the rest, it seems like a lot of people just wanted a simple fishing/sushi restaurant management game. They complained that they just wanted to relax and play through a day quickly, but they kept getting long cutscenes and non-diving quests.

    DTD so far feels like more of a sushi themed RPG to me. In the first couple hours you assume it’s going to be a simple fishing/restaurant game, but it blossoms into so much more. I think the vast majority of people appreciate being surprised by the game turning into this, myself included. Excited to keep playing

      Yeah, as a member of the latter group, the game just ended up not being for me. That’s okay, clearly plenty of people found what they were looking for there. But I do hope they release an “endless” mode where I can go ham on the core gameplay which I really enjoyed.

        Yeah, I would love an arcade mode or a high score mode, in addition to a more relaxed endless mode
