    This indy-Game is actually interessting and has funny and also scary moments in it. Good upgrade-system.
    For the current price (about 20 bucks) i think it must have more content, that's why i give "only" 7 points out of ten. If it was for 5-10 bucks, then i would rate it higher.

    Very nice at the start, becomes essentially impossible after a while. And I mean Manic Miner level-impossible here. Treasure caves start requiring perfect moves 100% of the time, 1/10 sec precision with instant reflexes or you need to restart them - and the grab jump mechanics are not precise enough for this requirement. I prefer Mario 64-level platformers, rewarding but not too punishing.

    Compared with the first chapter, this game has a few nice & helpful improvements. The new map system shows you your progress in finding secrets at each location & dungeons marked as complete when you discover all the secrets inside. It`s great and helpful. Here not only money is needed to get upgrades, this makes discovering secrets more sensful. Anyway, mainly the gameplay don`t changeCompared with the first chapter, this game has a few nice & helpful improvements.

When the prequels ended I was wondering about a sequel, when I finished this game I was thinking that the next game should have another concept.… Expand

    Compared to the original game, digging became a far more linear experience. That doesn’t mean that exploration element is gone, but it’s definitely different: now you need to keep an eye out for cracks in the rock that can be cracked open to reveal secret areas. [Issue#226, p.48]

    SteamWorld Dig 2 is everything that's expected from a good sequel. The gameplay loop is just as engaging as before, but there are some much nicer tools this time around. The levels may no longer be randomly generated, but the hand-crafted ones are smart and still provide exciting gameplay scenarios. The game also comes in at a perfect length, and while some will lament the scarcity of things to do once the adventure is over, few will deny that it was time well spent. SteamWorld Dig 2 is another awesome entry in the SteamWorld series, and it's a game that's worth checking out.

    Steamworld Dig 2 triumphs over the first game in every single aspect. The world is better designed and the gameplay is more polished. It may not be a new Super Metroid, but it's close enough.
