I played SteamWorld Dig 1 for about 30 minutes years ago and didn't feel much interest in playing it. I started playing SteamWorld Dig 2 and could literally not put it down. It's an interesting blend of metroidvania with tile-based digging that's more tactical than you'd think. It is amazingly polished, has great gameplay, amazing music, great art, high skill ceiling movement and feels perfectly balanced with enough modifiers that let you scale the game harder or easier as you like. It's as close to a Perfect game as I can think of in recent memory, I'd say the only thing I'd want is slightly more character narrative but that's a nitpick at best. Because I'm a degenerate I wish the game was 3x longer, but it never overstays its welcome and constantly gives you new abilities and upgrades that make you go, "are they allowed to give this to me?!". I had a blast playing it and would highly recommend. I can't wait for them to make another one, I'll be there Day 1.
