Aug 1, 2024At its base level, SteamWorld Heist II is a supremely polished title. However, while the game's narrative hums along like a well-oiled machine in the first half, screws begin to come loose as the narrative expands exponentially in front of the player. While the core of the title is a shoo-in recommendation for any fan of the genre, the collapsing narrative structure in its second half is a genuine shame.

Aug 30, 2024Despite the title's relentless pursuit of time-consuming journeys and somewhat repetitive missions, SteamWorld Heist II's combat and approach to adventure are intelligent and well thought-out. Those who like tactical games should give it a try, if only for its originality. Provided you are patient during the enemies' rounds!
