Why is Dave the Diver so good? ›

Dave the Diver is a great game for people who like adventure games with a cozy feel. It has non-bloody combat, rewarding exploration, and an upgrade system that feels more akin to what you can find in a traditional action-adventure title, and running the restaurant feels like its own separate simulation.

How do you beat Dave the Diver hermit crab? ›

The Truck Hermit Crab is unique because, unlike the other bosses you've fought up until this point, your weapons will not damage it. Instead, you'll have to pick up the explosive barrels the Truck Hermit Crab dredges up from the sea floor and drop them on his back, in the area between his eyes and the truck's wheels.
