Developed and published by Mintrocket, Dave the Diver released in June and has been one of the biggest indie hits of the year. The game sees players taking on the role of Dave, a deep-sea diver who supplies a sushi restaurant with fish. The PC version of the game holds a 90 percent on Metacritic. If you haven’t played it before, it’s definitely worth checking out, and the fact it’s hitting consoles is going to make that even easier for many.
