SteamWorld Dig 2

If you’re a fan of exploration, digging, platformers, puzzles, or the first Steamworld Dig game, there is absolutely no reason whatsoever that you should sleep on buying Steamworld Dig 2. Its unique mechanics and innovative gameplay is a treat you don’t want to miss.

SteamWorld Dig 2 is just about as competent a Metroidvania game as you’re likely to find in 2017. Its platforming and combat is solid, and its exploration is always a joy. What this fun sequel lacks in ambition, it makes up for in polish and charm.  

Where the first title came up short because it was over so quickly and the monotony could set in, SteamWorld Dig 2 goes the extra mile by introducing a ton of fun new abilities that open up the world in all directions, putting platforming skills to the test throughout a greater range of diverse locations.
