  • The game offers a satisfying core gameplay loop combining mining, factory building, and automation with progressive upgrades and contracts that keep players engaged.
  • Multiplayer/co-op mode significantly enhances the experience by allowing players to collaborate on specialized roles, making the game more dynamic and fun.
  • Developers are actively supporting the game with regular updates, community engagement, and a clear roadmap for future content, showing commitment to improvement.
  • Solo play experience tends to be tedious and slow, with progression and upgrade systems feeling grindy and some players recommending co-op for a better experience.
  • The factory automation is currently basic and lacks depth, limiting strategic complexity and making late-game progression less rewarding.
  • The game includes bugs and technical issues such as save/load problems, wonky controls (notably with the excavator), vehicle glitches, and frequent loading screens that break immersion.

    The gameplay is centered around a satisfying core loop of mining, resource gathering, and factory building, which many find engaging and fun, especially in co-op. While mechanics like mining and automation are well-executed and feel rewarding, the game currently lacks depth and content variety, leading some players to find the experience repetitive after several hours. Minor issues with physics, truck driving, and limited features are noted, but overall the gameplay shows solid potential with smooth progression and enjoyable mechanics.

    • “The core gameplay loop is incredibly satisfying.”
    • “The mining mechanics are central to the experience and provide a consistent sense of progression.”
    • “It's procedural mining, approachable management systems, and cooperative gameplay create a compelling gameplay loop that is easy to return to for extended sessions.”
    • “Wonky physics that ruin all excavator gameplay.”
    • “There are two distinct gameplay loops - the mining gets repetitive quickly, and the factory building lacks many key features.”
    • “Truck gameplay is weird, since you drive for 3 seconds, until you hit an invisible wall and a loading screen.”
  • grinding

    Grinding in the game is often described as a necessary but sometimes tedious part of progression, especially during solo play or early factory setup. However, automation features and multiplayer cooperation help alleviate much of the tedium, making the grind more enjoyable and rewarding. Overall, it balances grind with pacing well, though some parts may feel underpolished or repetitive to certain players.

    • “The factory part is unpolished, tedious, and boring.”
    • “But I'm giving a thumbs down because playing solo is tedious in some places, as the mining aspect becomes too much when the mine grows larger.”
    • “I think the game does a lot of things right, but digging for ores can be fun yet a bit tedious.”
  • graphics

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    38% positive mentions, 54% neutral mentions, 8% negative mentions

    The game's graphics are well-received for their good visuals and fitting aesthetic, offering customization options and smooth performance even on mid-range or basic systems. While not pushing cutting-edge graphical boundaries, the visuals effectively complement the gameplay and provide long-term appeal.

    • “There is character and factory customization, and the graphics look good.”
    • “Graphics are good and serve the theme well.”
    • “Although it may not push graphical boundaries, its aesthetic fits the gameplay well.”
    • “Very basic, graphics is the most updated thing about this game.”
  • stability

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    40% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    The game's stability appears mixed, with some users experiencing frequent bugs and glitches, especially in solo play, while others report smooth, bug-free performance, particularly when playing with friends. It is still in development, contributing to its occasional instability, but it shows promising foundations overall.

    • “Great game for two or more friends, decent achievements, bug free.”
    • “It runs great on my PC.”
    • “It's bug free and runs smooth, so it has promising foundations so far.”
    • “It is still in development; there are many bugs and glitches, and there honestly aren't enough factory features yet.”
    • “I was playing solo and was experiencing glitches very often.”
    • “Meh, very grindy and buggy.”
  • story

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    60% positive mentions, -20% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    The game lacks a cohesive story and contains illogical elements, leading to a repetitive and boring grinding experience that ends once all mining plots are purchased, with little variety or progression beyond that point.

    • “Some weird logic, like bronze ore? You do know that bronze is made of tin and copper, right? Also, in the last part of the game, you end up drowning in diamonds, gold, and silver but lack coal, iron, and copper, because your miners only get high-tier missions. So you buy the last mining property, scan for coal and iron, dig them up, get yourself a kebab and whiskey, shave the coal and iron, ditch the rest, and repeat.”
    • “I hope development continues with the addition of new features and missions.”
    • “Just the same, boring grind that ends after you've purchased the final plot and have nothing left to mine.”
    • “Some weird logic, like bronze ore being present even though bronze is made from tin and copper. Also, in the final part of the game you end up drowning in diamonds, gold, and silver but completely lack coal, iron, and copper. This happens because your miners only get high-tier missions, so you have to buy the last mining property, scan for coal and iron, dig them up, then repeat the process.”
    • “No story.”
    • “Just the same boring grind that ends after you've purchased the final plot and have nothing left to mine.”
  • humor

    The humor in the game is lighthearted and enjoyable, especially when playing with friends, featuring playful elements like practical jokes and funny in-game situations that add to the fun. The cooperative mechanics also create amusing moments reminiscent of real-life work experiences.

    • “Up to four players can play Diggy Diggy Hole to their heart's content, possibly goof off for a spell with a football they found onsite or play hilarious practical jokes using... explosives?”
    • “For a new game there have been zero issues and the digging is flawless, no blobs or bits floating in the air like other digging games. Also, working as a tradie with my mate is funny as heck, like a real job with these mechanics. Well done!”
    • “Super fun game and is funny with friends”
  • music

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    75% positive mentions, -25% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The music is generally well-received, with some users rating it highly and praising its quality. However, a few mention minor issues like bugs and suggest adding specific tracks for improvement. Overall, the soundtrack is considered decent and enjoyable.

    • “Good menu music, 10/10 recommend.”
    • “The music is perfect.”
    • “4/5 stars, would give 5 but a little buggy and could add 'Diggy Diggy Hole' to the soundtrack.”
    • “Music: decent”
    • “4/5 stars would get 5 but little buggy and needs to add diggy diggy hole to the soundtrack”
  • optimization

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    67% positive mentions, -34% neutral mentions, 67% negative mentions

    The game is praised for good overall optimization and fun performance, even on larger maps, but users feel that optimization options become limited after reaching certain upgrade tiers due to lack of advanced machine features like smart filters and multi-item outputs.

    • “Great game, very well optimized, and fun with friends.”
    • “Another game with great potential if the devs keep up with their progress. Although a bit short in my opinion, I "finished" within 20 hours gaining the 10th tier upgrades and thus being unable to upgrade anything anymore. I could still optimize my factory but not completely without smart filters or better versions of the machines that draw items from storage and put them on the conveyor belts. If they could spit out more than one item and if there were smart filters, I could keep going with optimization. But thus far, I feel quite done, but also quite satisfied.”
