Steamworld Dig 2 builds a solid metroidvania esplorative game upon the foundations laid by its predecessor. Better combat, better level design, better graphics and more in depth gameplay makes this one of the best indie titles available on Nintendo Switch.

Saying any game is one of the finest of the year 2017 is a big call, but it isn’t out of place here. It comfortably stands with 2017’s elite and in the realm of the $20 – $30 indie title it is fair to say Steamworld Dig reigns supreme.
Overall this game is one of the reasons why one should buy a Vita or a Switch. I’m not saying it’s bad on the PS4 or the PC, but for me this game is really better on a portable game console. The game mechanics are not so original but it delivers what I want for the sequel of the original Steamworld. This is one of those $20 games that is worth every penny, though this may be a simple platformer, but a rather ambitious one. I miss the old 2D platformers like Metroid and Megaman X, and this is by far the closest new IP to those games that I so adore.
SteamWorld Dig 2 is an excellent successor to the original that greatly exceeds the excellent standards set by its prequel. This is exactly what I wanted for a sequel, and I can't wait to see what the team at Image & Form has in store for the next SteamWorld game! Or perhaps they can give us some extra DLC for SteamWorld Dig 2?
SteamWorld Dig 2 has absolutely fantastic gameplay that builds on well onto the already strong gameplay of the original. Unless you dislike platformers, you should put this game onto your radar.
SteamWorld Dig 2 is a great metroidvania with rewarding gameplay and deep progression.

SteamWorld Dig 2 resumes the predecessor's success formula, expands it and makes it mature, especially in level design. In a nutshell, a great game.

For $20, Steamworld Dig 2 packs an immense amount of value and fun into a refreshing platformer with an interesting narrative, lots of explosions, and the satisfying feeling of exploration and constant progression. Really, what more could you want from something that costs less than a real-life pickaxe?
SteamWorld Dig 2 is just about as competent a Metroidvania game as you're likely to find in 2017. Its platforming and combat is solid, and its exploration is always a joy. What this fun sequel lacks in ambition, it makes up for in polish and charm.
SteamWorld Dig 2 isn't just some rush-job sequel with limited appeal outside of the game's existing community. There are enough changes to the SWD2 formula for the sequel to appeal to those who weren't hooked by the first SteamWorld Dig without losing what made it popular in the first place.
SteamWorld Dig 2 has gone further than the original and now stands above its predecessor in every single aspect. The improved level design, the variety of elements and secrets to discover and its exquisite level design make this piece of work something that is impossible to ignore and that should be on every player's radar.

Steamworld Dig 2 is better than the first one in every single aspect. The level design is outstanding and the graphics are charming as ever when it comes to Image & form. The best indie game of 2017 so far.

Steam world Dig 2 is a great example of a sequel and one of the most complete platformers released this generation. It's not just an evolution in platforming but battles, exploration, puzzles and variety and gives a worthy experience not must have for platformer lovers but for those who aren't a fan.

Another great achievement from Image & Form. SteamWorld Dig 2 takes everything that made the first game good and ups the ante in every way. Easily a must-buy game.
This almost out-Metroids Nintendo's venerable series - that is how good Image & Form's latest adventure is.
I could go on and on about SteamWorld Dig 2's strengths.
SteamWorld Dig 2 is everything I wanted from a sequel to SteamWorld Dig and then some. It's even more addictive than the first one, bigger, more dynamic, colorful and charming. Once you get started it will be hard to put this one down, so be ready for hours and hours of fun!
