SteamWorld Dig 2 Reviews
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.
Once again Image & Form continue to pour heart, soul and quality into their games. Steamworld Dig 2 is another near perfect entry in the Steamworld universe, and the enhanced art design makes me wish that they go back to both the original Dig and Heist and update them and release them on the Switch. I would be the first in line to buy them again.
For fans of SteamWorld Dig we suspect the recommendation isn't needed as they'll buy this anyway. For those that skipped the first game, however, Dig 2 is a must-have - its charming aesthetic and cast set the scene for a tightly designed and clever exploration game. Now the wait begins for SteamWorld Dig 3.
Steamworld Dig 2 is a fantastic introduction for new players to the Metroidvania genre and offers more than enough to keep seasoned veterans fully engaged. A must-have for anyone with a Switch, this gem could charm even the most jaded gamer with its genuine, lovingly crafted world.
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 a wonderful sequel to the already impressive SteamWorld Dig, and this 3DS port of last year's Switch release does not disappoint. Taking everything that was great from the original, and improving it even further, SWD2 can stand proudly near the top of the list of 'must play' titles on the Nintendo eShop.
Steamworld Dig 2 isn't just a sequel – it's a whole new quality, taking from the predecessor and Metroidvania genre only the best features.

SteamWorld Dig 2 is a huge, expansive and utterly fantastic mining/platformer, with a great variety of challenges and plenty of tools to attack them with.
I have an ongoing, unending urge to dig my way to every secret corner of the map, and I will once again embark on this journey the moment I stop writing. I highly recommend you start your journey as I continue mine.
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?
Image & Form has crafted an excellent sequel that's bested its predecessor in sizable ways. All Nintendo fans would do well to look at this game, either in HD or 3D, and consider adding it to their collection.
SteamWorld Dig 2 lives up to the previous title in every way. If you are looking for a new game to sink your teeth into, SteamWorld Dig 2 is open for business.
SteamWorld Dig 2 hits the mother lode with refined, addicting gameplay.
If you didn't like the gameplay loop of Steamworld Dig, then there are probably not enough changes here to massively alter your opinion. But for those of us who did enjoy it, then Steamworld Dig 2 will happily suck us right back in, the refinements made creating the perfect balance between familiarity and freshness.
SteamWorld Dig 2 is full of colorful visuals and an excellent upgrade and progression system. It easily stands as one of the best sequel to an indie game released this year.
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?
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.

SteamWorld Dig 2 is a masterfully created exploration-platformer in a Metroidvania package. If Dig 2 could offer an additional difficulty level, introduce more boss fights, and capitalize on the potential of the world and story, this could've been extraordinary. As it stands, it's an incredible experience and excellent value for fans of the genre or video games in general. One has to bear in mind that we are talking about a $20 indie game made by a small team, so Dig 2 is far from a full-fledged AAA experience. What's astonishing is how the title manages to capture and entertain us during its runtime and beyond.
This almost out-Metroids Nintendo's venerable series - that is how good Image & Form's latest adventure is.
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.
