The game is in essence multiple mini games that culminates into, find materials, use said materials to build up restaurant and continue to progress. The game absolutely BLASTS you early on with tons of things to collect, which is FINE! initially, it sucks though because your at barebones upgrades and things are difficult to do consistently because of it.

But as you progress you get stronger and the game cycle gets easier but with new enemies, collectibles, etc to do and see. The underwater zones change so things get pretty different consistently. The game also has great charm and sounds. Every area has its own look and feel, with a good and not too overdone comedy. Lots of cutscenes can be skipped too which is awesome.

My only gripe so far (still early) is combat is kind of basic and clunky, but manageable.

I give it a great early thumbs up and a recommendation.

I pretty much agree with all this - the combat's not the best but it's definitely good enough for what they're trying to do. It's my current GOTY!
