Honestly, a great improvement over the first SteamWorld Dig game. The quality of life mprovements are awesome, and this game utilizes its tools way more than the first one. The areas are great too, making exploration much more enjoyable. Overall, if you're new to metroidvanias, this game is a must play.
A very charming adventure! After playing the first game i didnt expect such a big improvment and increase in quality but i was positivly suprised! I would definetly recommend it to anyone curious!
Pros: 1. Smooth performance 2. Amazing pacing of story 3. Gameplay loop of digging, gathering resource, selling loot & upgrading was paced perfectly. 4. Platforming & Light puzzle solving was fun and didnt get tedious 5. The final boss was challeging. Took me about 10-12 tries to succeed. 6. The story is simple and straight forward so prior knowledge of the first game is not mandatory. Cons: I genuinely cannot think of anything that I did not like in this game. Even if i did It is so minor that it is a non issue. I got it on sale for extremely cheap and couldnt have asked for anything more. Highly recommend people to give this one a try.
