New styyle of Metroidvania

Steamworld Dig 2 is a continuation of the original idea of digging deeper and deeper. Based on the mechanics of Super Mario Bros. 2 from the Americas, which has a different name in Japan, it blends elements of collecting, evolving, selling to earn money, buying new items, and constantly evolving the main character. Despite the few boss regions, there are few truly complex areas that, by unlocking important items, facilitate movement. It improves on its predecessor's strengths and adds a captivating story where interesting reversals occur from time to time. The graphics remain hand-drawn, with relevant quality. Much better than other modern games that fail to deliver empty, repetitive propositions that don't please the public. An indie game that shows how making a game can be time-consuming but delivers, within its limitations, challenge, adventure, and story that complement each other excellently. It's worth the price.

A worthy sequel

A well executed sequel to a good game. Mechanics feel good to use, and overall game construction is quite competent.

Fun, but over too soon.

I enjoyed Steamworld Dig 2. Even though my old computer couldn't display some of the graphics, 95% of the game worked just fine. I could see the world, but projectiles were invisible. I still managed to complete the game. Through experimentation, trial, and error, I figured out how quickly each projectile moved and estimated their locations and trajectories. My main complaint is that it ended much too quickly. I was very surprised when the credits rolled. For a game that I got for free, it was pretty good. It felt a little bit unfinished, so I can't recommend paying more than a few dollars for it.

I dig it.

A 2D platformer and dig 'em up. You set off on a journey through a mysterious and hazardous world in search of your lost friend. The plot is interesting enough, but nothing spectacular. Decent motivation for advancing I suppose. The game has pretty nice art and a good feel to it overall. The exploration via platforming and tunneling through the ground is quite enjoyable, although I found the inability to dig mid-air or while attached to something to be a bit of an annoyingly artificial limit, but I got used to it. The game is on the shorter side, and you end up encountering upgrades quite frequently, which can give a rapid sense of progression that feels satisfying. A neat little game overall, recommended for anyone who wants into some short, platforming and tunneling fun.
