    2. Steamworld Dig 2 Speaking of great soundtracks and favourite indies, I don't think there's a recommendation thread I've done that hasn't included at least one Steamworld game, so this time let's go for Dig 2, which is a truly fantastic metroidvania. store.steampowered.com/app/571310/S...

    3. Mashina It's a little like Steamworld Dig if you've played that, but everything's stop motion, and you're digging through rubbish. Same developers as Judero, which was an absolute delightful game. This too, is a delight. Also features Jonathan.

    Rusty Rabbit is out today! I've not played as much of it pre-release as I had planned (this week has been awful so far) but I've enjoyed it so far. In short, a Steamworld Dig-esque platformer written by Gen Urobuchi of Madoka Magica & other infamies It's a kid-friendly game though. Smart, not edgy

    Steamworld Dig 2 might be one of the best metroidvanias ever, and at a simply silly 94% off, it's well worth grabbing. I'd recommend playing the first one, it's a much simpler and shorter game. store.steampowered.com/app/571310/S...

    Mashina is severely overlooked, another sort of Steamworld Dig kinda game where you play as a little stop-motion robot in a garbage world where everything is all hand-made and animated with stop-motion, it's a delight and how does it only have 87 reviews, what!? That's not right.

    16. Everdeep Aurora Yet another I must revisit and finish, but from what I've played it's another delightful Steamworld Dig style game, where you play as a little kitten with a drill who is trying to find her mother in a mysterious underground realm. Just take a look at those visuals!

    Steamworld Dig 1 and 2 definitely have that "descend and return to descend further" loop. 2 is the much better game but 1 is still a great time.

    I can’t believe no one ever told me how good SteamWorld Dig is… That was so much fun and I’m not normally a big platformer fan. The digging for ore for money to upgrade was such a nice feature! SteamWorld Dig is my 9th completed game this year and my second summer sale finished! LIONEL.😤

    Steamworld Dig is a bit like a cross between Motherlode, Spelunky and a metroidvania. Motherlode because the game owes a lot to the concept of digging down into the earth, mining minerals and then selling them on the surface for gold to buy upgrades, which then enable you to dig deeper, take on more enemies etc. Spelunky because the main levels are procedurally generated, and the general feel of your character is quite similar to Spelunky (so much so that playing one after the other causes…

    Steamworld Dig 2 is so good! 💎 It is precisely the "dig for treasures, buy upgrades, overcome dangers, unlock shortcuts" game I needed! 😆 I'm also impressed with the granular difficulty adjustments you can make on the workbench (lowering or increasing the challenge level, it's up to the player). 😎

    April 17th - Rusty Rabbit Releasing under the banner of Nitro Plus (yes, the visual novel studio), and written by Gen Urobuchi (Madoka Magica). Primarily developed by Chime, who did the Made In Abyss game. It's like Steamworld Dig with Kazuma Kiryu's VA as a world-weary mech-piloting bnuuy.

    I picked up Steamworld Dig in the Switch sale for 89p and having now played it I can confirm this is a ludicrous bargain. It's a brilliant game, a bit Metroidvania, a bit Terraria. Very easy to think "I'll just make one more trip down to the mine" www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Games/...

    #5: SteamWorld Dig I thought it would be fun to check the oldest purchased game in my library (I assume this includes Vita games that are playable on PS4). I platinumed this back in 2019 but it was like riding a bike again. It still holds up and is a blast to play.

    Silksong is going to be the Expedition 33 for Metroidvania games (lots of new ppl trying the game that are new to the genre). If that's your case and you end up loving Silksong, try these: 1. Metroid Dread. 2. Yoku's Island Express. 3. Axiom Verge. 4. SteamWorld Dig 2. 5. Ori.

    #blutoid finally gave SteamWorld Dig a try (it's leaving Game Pass). It's a cool concept with a ton of great game design choices, but it also punishes you for mistakes you can't prepare for in a way that actively discourages me from wanting to play it further.

    might abandon Steamworld Dig. It's fine, but I'm honestly not getting anything but annoyance from it. It's not a long game but I swear I feel the minutes ticking by. The unfortunate thing is, I was gifted most of the series last year (I think), and now I'm put off trying the second one.
