What makes a game feel like summer?
This week on JK! Games!, we're diving into one of our favorite seasonal gaming discussions yet. From beach vacations, boating, and water levels, we're exploring the games that instantly transport us to summer.
Before that, all three of us have been playing Dave the Diver, and we discuss why it's become one of the most beloved indie games of the last few years.
Plus, we talk Mario Sunshine, Tony Hawk, fishing in games, Kioku, the best water levels ever made, and whether water levels actually deserve their bad reputation.
What game instantly makes you think of summer?
