Very enjoyable followup to the first SteamWorld Heist while keeping what worked well and improving on certain things like character abilities and class levels.
If you're a completionist the game can get a little repetitive by the very very end (mostly when grinding for hats) but it took me around 40 hours to 100% the game and that's hardly how …

If you're a completionist the game can get a little repetitive by the very very end (mostly when grinding for hats) but it took me around 40 hours to 100% the game and that's hardly how you're "suppose to" play video games lol.
Story writing was fairly surface level (no pun intended) but got the message across well and had some memorable characters and touches on concepts like legacy and living up to expectations. It could have been much more in depth (again...the puns) but it does what it needs to and lets you get back to the gameplay quick.
I'd happily take a SteamWorld Heist 3 one day.
4 / 5 Stars
