43 of 43 · most liked firstI've tried to play this a few times now and unfortunately every single time I've played there were multiple in game bugs that stopped progression and I would need to restart the game to fix it. There was also a loading issue on one of the times I tried to play where the game just sat at 30%. Looking at the update history of the game, there's only 1 and it was in October of 2020 so I think it's safe to say the game is just going to stay in the state it's in. This game is riddled with so many…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a good game for people that like exploring and finding secrets
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A little rough around the edges, but overall a very enjoyable experience if you don't mind sometimes just quitting to desktop and restarting the game. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it for anyone who likes mining games!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is chill
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It would be a fun game if it wasn't buggy as heck. The game judges you on how much you dig up during each of the levels you go to while on the elevator, but more of my levels have ZERO available stuff to dig than actually do. I've done entire rounds on the elevator without even having the option to dig any valuables. I check the scanner, I try digging even though there isn't anything... Nothing. Almost all of my money came from carefully carrying 15 rolls of toilet paper to the elevator for the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dude I like it when the game drives you to grind. It is so cool and outgoing!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game where the more you play the more you unlock. Interesting endings and fun achievements but had some small bugs and slow gameplay elements. Worth the price and playthrough, I enjoyed my experience.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I enjoy the game. I've only played it twice, and each time, I've run into a bug that has led to me closing the game. First time, I somehow glitched into the train as it was moving downhill, and couldn't get out. The second time, it froze while loading after I pressed the plunger for the thing. It's a fun game, and there's a lot to explore, but there are bugs. I'm considering refunding, but I really wanna explore all of the upgrades, and find all the secrets. I honestly don't know what to do.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you're a mineral junkie like myself that just loves collecting and mining gems for money, then this is the game for you! Grinding for money to get upgrades is also a huge plus, you also get new items that help you in your excavation journey. AND there's multiple endings! Great game!! 10/10.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →(This game looked nice in a Youtube video.) In Cave Digger PC Edition (did not play VR) you are a miner exploring partially randomised time-attack mining "rooms" first and later advancing through a number of very linear and short worlds without time-limit but gated by ever-more expensive upgrades, say a gas mask to withstand poisonous gas. You start in an abandoned Wild West ghost town and begin your work by means of modern-day infrastructure and low-tech to modern to outrageous tools. The game…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i like the game, or atleast the consept. but i feel like it was dropped on the floor a few too many times. ive played it for around 7 hours (at the time of me writing this) and i cant imagine spending too much more time in it, havent completed it. and most likely wont, because its highly unstable and unplayabble at times. i havent tried the VR version yet, and i dont know whether im gonna do that or not (probably not). - - - if the game ever gets fixed, or remastered (but much better) it could…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yes, I recommend it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aj32-RcjrUQ
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →good game to site down and play to relax to and worth every penny
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super fun game that honestly surprised me with how fun it is.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a very good game and I totally recommend it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dig! Dig! Dig! and Dig again.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i got a bug that prevents me from moving the train at all in the first hour of playing this game, still doesnt work even after resetting my save
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game but it feels a bit empty sometimes.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →AUDIBLE! I changed my mind on The Tale of Bistun (that's on YT), but Cave Digger 2: Dig Harder is still happening, as are the other plans! See another game to try out with you all thanks to @vrkiwi.bsky.social & @keymailer.bsky.social NOW!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →interesting little game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cave Digger, developed and published by VRKiwi, is a first-person mining adventure that blends resource gathering, exploration, and light narrative mystery within a stylized Wild West-inspired setting. Originally conceived as a virtual reality experience, the PC version adapts its mechanics for traditional controls while retaining the core loop that defines the game: descend into the depths of a mysterious mountain, mine valuable materials, upgrade your equipment, and gradually uncover secrets…

unlabelledView post →this game is the best game i have play but you need popularmmos playing if you get bord
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not too many tbh. I have that Horizon game. Saints and Sinners 1/2. Arizona Sunshine 2. Moss and Cave Digger 2. And some PSVR1 stuff that got PSVR2 updates. Gonna grab that adapter when it's ourlt too so I can use it on PC. Finally play Half Life Alyx
unlabelledView post →Love the idea of the game. But when it crashed three times in nine minutes of play, I had to request a refund.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love it, but it needs better controller support, graphic options and no mods??? This game is crying for support and should have workshop support at the least.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like this game on desktop. In VR however not so much. The bottom portion of the UI is too low from my view and difficult to look at and interact with. I can recommend it on desktop but the VR portion needs adjusting.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →pulling the gold trigger while being a gold digger. 10/10 would dig again
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Definitely a quick game, with the focus being on mining I honestly love it. The train sections do get tedious but they're at least unique enough to still be interesting. 7/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →glad they released a nonvr version really chill game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of my most favorite games ever, yes there are some that are better, but this is very close.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got the game super cheap (like 90% sale). Honestly it's really surprisingly fun. I just thought "what the hell it's cheap" and it's enjoyable. I could see myself potentially coming back and playing it again just to chill out.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the vr version is better than this one but it is good if your out on the go and dont have a vr with you and it is nice and chill to just relax and play it on desktop it is nice
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For those of you wanting to play this fun and addictive game but lack a VR headset this game is a near perfect port. The only true problem I have with this game is the controls aren't as fine tuned with the mouse actions feeling clunky and tricky to get the hang of. In closing I would still recommend this for non-VR players wishing to play the hit game you've probably been watching on Youtube!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's so buggiest. I play for 9 mins and i can't handle it.
