I love Dave the Diver. It's one of my favorite random purchases on Steam over the past couple months, and I'm glad to see it's getting some attention.

It really is an excellent game; It's been in Early Access for a while and recently hit the big 1.0 milestone, so some friends and I all decided to pick it up. I'm now over 20 hours in and it's still revealing delightful new mechanics, minigames, and systems even when I think I've seen everything. The personality and sense of humor throughout is just great, it never takes itself too seriously and wears its influences on its sleeve.

Is it like Stardew Valley or more hardcore? My fiance loves casual games like Stardew, Harvest Moon, and Animal Crossing but hates anything where she could "lose" (basically).

On the one hand, it seems like it gives me Stardew vibes, but on the other hand I see the word "roguelike" and wonder if maybe she's going to get frustrated and stop playing it.

I’d put it about the same as Stardew. There are boss fights and there are some jerk animals that are dangerous and a PITA to kill but generally you can avoid them or develop ways to deal with them. Overall it’s a fantastic game with a great sense of humor and just when you feel like you’ve done all there is a whole new mechanic is unlocked.
