Another platformer... ish.

Broke my rule for game #50, because it was getting late and it was the first unplayed game I hit in the list.

Way back in the dark ages of iOS (2009), there was a game that I became obsessed called "I Dig It". You control a mining vehicle, and you dig things up, and you bring them to the surface, upgrade the vehicle, and go back down to mine some more. Rinse & repeat.

SteamWorld Dig was fundamentally the same model, and I didn't mind that in the slightest. I played for a couple of hours, and then haven't played since.

SteamWorld Dig 2 adds platforming, before I got anywhere near digging things up. It required a frustrating timing combo of button presses to work my way through the game, and I was ready to give up, thinking that they'd completely redesigned the game concept.

Nope, you just have to get through that frustrating level to get to the digging. Once into the digging, it feels more like its predecessor.

Unfortunately, it feels a bit like in trying to make SteamWorld Dig better, they made it a bit worse. I'm willing to give it another shot, though.

SteamWorld Dig 2 is:

3: OK

Finished - tbh was quite reluctant, didn't think there could be any more to do on top of the first game. Gladly, I was incredibly wrong on this. Really enjoyed the additions, UX improvements. The survival horror segment in Vectron is implemented incredibly well and the map is much more explorable and interesting than game one. How sequels should be done!

I played the first SteamWorld Dig on my 3DS ages ago, specifically because I was interested in playing the sequel. Now I finally did.

Metroidvania-esque game (extremely linear) with a focus on mining for treasure. You play as a cute robot girl.

J'ai commencé et, outre que le plaisir simple de creuser de + en + profond est toujours là, chaque fois que j'arrive en ville, les premières notes du thème me donne l'impression que je vais entendre Genie in a Bottle de Christina Aguillera.
