SteamWorld Dig

Repetitive game loop with a lot of backtracking. Not my jam. Otherwise the art style, and music are definitely a plus. I was a bit disappointed I couldn't change all the controls (my mac has a bit wonly right arrow button).

I really enjoyed this game! I spent longer playing it than some people (more like 10 hours), but I'm a completionist and wanted to mine, buy, fight and find everything. For me, it hit just the right spot between challenging and relaxing, which is why I would agree with the reviewer who called it a "perfect time waster". The music is also good and held up even after many hours of play, which is really important in a platformer game. I think this game will be added to the list of platformers that I play again and again when the mood strikes me (like Plants vs Zombies or Treasure Adventure Game). Next time my goal is 0 deaths! Or at least less than a dozen...

The game crashes immediately uppon slecting a save-slot, which is the step before getting a new game started. Seems to be a known that has no solution that works.

This game is just awesome, there is a ton of backtracking, and different items to collect. If you love metroid like games, then you will be surprised at how high quality this title is.
