An improvement in every way
...Or at least that's my opinion. Whereas the first game in the series was a short and simple loop of digging deeper and upgrading equipment, with a handful of metroidvania-style upgrades and platforming puzzles scattered throughout, SteamWorld Dig 2 skews the balance much more heavily towards metroidvania. There's still plenty of digging to be done, but progression rewards have a much greater impact on play (particularly movement) and puzzles tend to be more frequent and elaborate. You may find this disappointing if you liked the original for mainly being a low-effort progression treadmill, but if you're like me and were left wanting for more complexity, this game more than satisfies. I'll also note that, whereas I personally found the music of the first game to be lackluster and forgettable (with the exception of the title screen theme), I adore every track in SteamWorld Dig 2 and frequently found myself humming them both whilst playing as well as between sessions. Just an immeasurable improvement overall, but that's obviously very dependent on personal taste. If you want more of the first game's cycle of digging with an increase in platforming challenges and movement complexity, then I recommend this game.
