Critic Reviews
SteamWorld Dig 2 Review
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. The Switch version of the game might just win the battle over its smaller cousin thanks to its graphical power and TV functionality, but we guarantee you will love every moment of this title no matter which platform you have at your disposal.
90%SteamWorld Dig 2 Review
Steamworld Dig 2 is a wonderful addition to the Nintendo 3DS library, especially as the heavy focus of Nintendo's future focuses on the Switch handheld-console hybrid. Dorothy's adventure improves on everything that the first game had established, by refining that addictive gameplay loop of dig, collect, and upgrade. While the story is surprisingly deep, it only serves as a reason for this gameplay; however, the entire RPG mechanic of upgrading Dorothy to dig deeper into the caves to discover new secrets and hidden areas is the real winning formula. Playing it on a handheld enriches this further, as taking it on the go makes it feel even better. While it is hard to recommend this over the Switch version, for those who have yet to make the jump over to the latest console, Steamworld Dig 2 is a must have for 3DS.
90%A Spelunking Good Time
2013’s Steamworld Dig was a massive hit. Combining spelunking with platform-adventuring, it just worked. Its long-awaited sequel has just landed, and surprise, surprise, it’s even better than the first.
