Dave the Diver rules (a throwback episode!)
Plus, some free codes for Shoulders of Giants
Dave the Diver swam to the top of the Steam charts following its recent release. But did you know The Resties celebrated the fishing-cooking-restaurant management simulator last fall?
You can listen to that episode on the game’s excellent Early Access release by clicking right here.
Plus, Polygon reviewed the full release and awarded the game the Polygon Recommends badge!
Free codes: Shoulders of Giants
On last Friday’s episode, Justin mentioned his love of the new action game Shoulders of Giants. The developers shared a few Xbox and Epic Games Store codes so some listeners can give the game a try. We’ve pasted the codes below. Good luck!

This is maybe a little off-topic, but a week or so ago Russ was asking for games that are similar to BotW and TotK. I wanted to highly recommend Lil Gator Game for The Resties, a 3-5 hour open world with a well-written story about nostalgia and growing up, and gameplay that unashamedly borrows from BotW a ton. It's a polished, concise, and cozy game that is also similar to A Short Hike if any of you played that. Sadly, Lil Gator Game went mostly unnoticed as it released late last year after all the game of the year discussions, so I hope it eventually gets the attention it deserves.
Thanks for this! Would love a note in honorable mentions (and here) when Dave the Diver finally arrives in the Nintendo eShop.
