More fiction than science
Perhaps it was a great game in 1995, but 20 years later it looks just ok. Somehow I missed the game when it was published and decided to try it when GOG made it available. I finished it over a weekend and was a little bit disappointed. The plot is ok, but has more fiction than science and the game gets very cheese by the end. Some puzzles were very annoying and unnecessary tedious (e.g. the repairment of the power plant using a service drone, putting together a carcass of a dead "turtle", figuring out the purpose of the alien device, etc). There is an element of pixel hunting, for example when an item is given to you but was put not into your inventory but on the floor of the same colour and it was very easy to miss it. And there is a lot of digging in the game, so be ready to use your shovel often (the name of the game is "The Dig" for a reason). Overall the game is ok, but nothing impressive impressive. Though, picturesque locations and good voices make the game more enjoyable. It is difficult to find a direct comparison for "The Dig", but if you want something futuristic, I would recommend "Beneath a Steel Sky" as a better alternative.
