SteamWorld Dig 2 takes you on a platform mining adventure forged in Metroidvania flames. When an old trading town is struck by mysterious earthquakes, it’s up to a lone steambot and her unlikely companion to uncover what trembling terrors lie beneath.
Dig your way underground and explore vivid worlds riddled with treasure, secrets and traps.
Combat dangerous enemies at every turn of the underworld’s twisted paths, including shadowy creatures and the haunted remains of an ancient electrical threat.
Upgrade your gear to forge deeper into the earth and take on bigger challenges.
Swing across large chasms with your Hookshot and fly through caves with the Jet Engine!
And finally, learn the truth about your long lost friend…
While Steamworld Dig 2 may be more of the same from Steamworld Dig 1, it does a lot to set itself apart from it's predecessor.

Is Steam World Dig 2 an improvement gameplay wise over the first game? Yes. Yes it is. There is MUCH MORE to explore, and you will be rewarded for it. More NPCs to interact with. Getting to and from the mine has been streamlined, along with some options to give yourself a bigger challenge if you want. And the humor from the first game is still here. Do we get more character interaction? Yes, yes we do. Sadly, it's in that very narrative that causes my only problems.
The final twist will leave you wondering what the heck was up with the sequel hook from the first game. Some of the NPCs remarks and item description may come across as religious-phobic. And the 'character who has done everything to help you was always going to betray you' cliche that is all the rage in video game and major name animated moive rears its ugly head.
But if you're one of those people who doesn't give a darn about the narrative, or the characters, or about any message that may or may not intended or not by the game designers, then you WILL enjoy this game for the addictive but immersive gameplay. And game play is something SteamWorld Dig 2 excels at. You will NOT be able to put down this game! 'Just a little bit further' will be on your mind. Just a little bit more to see what comes next.
Less is more.
A few troll challenges for extra loot left me feelling hollow inside after enjoying what otherwise felt like an original introduction to the gaming world like the fresh days of the SNES and Genesis when the only cookie-cutter / shovelware games were JRPGs.
My advice is: if completing a challenge isn't necessary to complete the game then save yourself the hurt and skip it.
SWD2's decision to interupt a good game with mean jokes lands it a 'meh' / 5
plus minus one point for GOG's obnoxious pricing.
