Let's start this off with an obvious statement- games are meant to be fun. We all feel that's the case, but all too often do we have games that fight against your expectation of how the game should play out.

Really great game! However, it is a port and personally I play this rather on another platform.

Can you dig it

Beautifully sedate; A joy to play; Fen is brilliant

Slow to start; One harrowing segment; Possibly too short

Steamworld Dig 2 is a top-notch game that so succeeds at what it set out to do, that calling it merely "retro-inspired" almost feels like an insult. It's a fantastic 2D title, and belongs in anyone's collection.

My absolute favourite thing about the first SteamWorld Dig - a game that, in the memory, seems pretty much bursting with favourite things - was a simple collectable. It was an in-game currency of some kind, although inevitably I can't remember what you could spend it on.

I was a great fan of the first SteamWorld Dig , having played it quite a bit on the PlayStation 4. I even managed to come across the final boss, but the sudden spike in difficulty stopped me from completing it.
