What a relaxing and fun little game. It is at its best when you are giving the most flexibility to dig through the mine any way you want with a whole bunch of powered up abilities. I also loved that the slower paced cave puzzles were a nice break from the dangerous digs.

But what is up with the light mechanic? That was a mildly infuriating nuisance that really didn't inhibit me much but kept nagging me to go back to town.

Ok, I lied. I gave the annoying boss one more take and beat it. Now continuing with the game and I'm kind of linking it much more?
Each upgrade improves the character's mobilty which makes the gameplay much more dynamic than the first game. Although I kind of miss having to build ladders and being forced to think carefully about …

Each upgrade improves the character's mobilty which makes the gameplay much more dynamic than the first game. Although I kind of miss having to build ladders and being forced to think carefully about how to dig to ensure that it was possible to return to the surface. With wall-climbing, grappling hook and jetpack (!) all of that is completely negated.

I might have found my breaking point. That teleporting boss is just suppremely annoying. Combat in this game is pretty bad thanks to a ridiculous limited range that means that two pixels is the sole the difference between dealing damage and taking damage, so having a boss is bad enough. But that the boss teleports around and your limited view …

But that the boss teleports around and your limited view area makes it impossible to know where it is is just infuriating.

As its predecessor, this works very well as a podcasting game. It's extremely mindless and the story is next to nonexistent.

Free on GOG. The first one is a passable mindless game to listen to podcasts.

I was not expecting to finish this game this weekend yet here we are. Playing something like this (a Metroidvania game, I think it's called) feels different, and I'm not sure if it's something I want to continue in the long run. For sure I would try out Hollow Knight still.

Read moreIt seems I'm late to this bandwagon, but i'm still glad I got on in the first place. This 2D platformer had me feeling nostalgic because of its similarity to those old "gold miner" games. While also restoring my faith in platformers again ( Which had recently been shattered by a bunch of horrible, no good, terrible platforming failures) The only thing that could make this game better, is a sandbox or infinite mode, which would send me into full "gold miner" nostalgia mode. I would recommend this game to anyone of any age, as it has no language, violence, or gore. Replayability is OK, but not the greatest.

Read moreStarted playing SteamWorld Dig 2 after getting it for free with Twitch (Amazon) Prime. With a few hours in, I am mostly happy with the experience. The gameplay is divided into exploring the subterranean, completing challenge caves, finding upgrades and a simple but satisfying story. I have found the experience to be very linear for a game that is primarily focused on exploration. You don't end up with branching paths to reach a given destination. The challenge caves have stood out as one of the better parts of the game. However, if the game was made solely of these there really wouldn't be much to write home about. The two boss battles I encountered made me wonder why they couldn't be more frequent.

Great way to pass the time when you're stuck in bed with the flu.
