As awesome as the first one but with cool boss fights and even more to do.

Edit: should have added this long ago but this is one of the very few games to which I would give a 10/10. It improves on all the aspects of LoG1 which itself in my opinion brought the whole genre up a few notches. Brilliant design, flow and mood and even adds proper boss fights with a fantastic orchestral soundtrack to pump you up (And heck, boss fights is something this genre has often been bad at).

Last but not least there are AMAZING mods in the workshop that add full on campaigns with bunch of new content ( the editor allows coding and creating your own enemies, puzzles and bosses). Some are on par with the original game!

A true masterpiece. Basically a cross of secret of mana and landstalker that surpasses both, I am not saying this lightly. I will see if I change my mind later on but halfway through the game I think and the level design and puzzle design is genius.

Expect a lot of puzzles as well as intense action ( boss fights get quite epic and challenging as you go on).
The combat is really well fleshed out, fast and powerful.
Everything is incredibly detailed and data for all this is usefully stashed in your statistics. You can even see the rate drop of EVERY type of bushes in the game.

The trading system is quite fun and overall balanced ( with a few basic ressources a bit annoying to get sometimes). I hate grinding in games but this one is the only one that's made it kinda fun by turning bushes into mini lotteries. It sounds dumb but i swear, it makes backtracking fun in this title!

I wasnt thrilled by the MMO themed but as i played i started recognizing types of online players I had met through games. Their dialogues are quite well written, characters have true personality ( i recognized myself in some of those too, hehe) and they are growing on me. The story takes some interesting turns making the MMO dull aspect become actually quite mysterious and interesting.

Other pros:
-Very unique and awesome mechanics with aiming and bouncing bullets used both in action and puzzles.
-A pretty large skill tree to personalize your playstyle.
- great art and quality music both in great amount. ( except the town of bergen's music, sorry...).

I ll update this later but so far this is a 10/10 for me. A true gem.
If you dont equally enjoy action, secret searching and puzzles, you'll want to look somewhere else though.

Maybe the best game in the steamworld serie. 8.52/10
This episode connects the story of the other games, but you don't have to play them in order ( they are not in chronological order in the first place). It's pretty cool to see things get tied together.

Great level design, great controls and lots of cool moves for that little robot. It's pretty deep (no pun intended).
The side kick is pretty funny though overall the dialogues arent that exciting ( not the strongest point in the other titles either).

Overall if you enjoy platforming and exploration, you'll probably like it.
If you played the first steamworld dig, its all the same stuff but much better. And the metroidvania aspect is much more developped!

Finishing the game without searching for secrets or doing every challenge rooms ( maybe the funnest part of the game) probably takes 7-8 hours. Took me 13h to 100% it and it felt satisfying, it ended when I was ready to move on. :)

An incredible achievement. Both the art and soundtrack are pure wonders.
An amazing amount of boss battles and variety, its just so impressive something of that scale was created by a relatively small team.

The game suffers from a few design problems ( parry isnt really fun IMO and many bosses have move that are unfair unless you know their patterns bringing some frustrations at times) but its all forgivable. I think this is a pretty clear GOTY 2017 for me.

Backed it on kickstarter and was pretty excited for it but can't recommend the game in its current state.

The game is pretty good until you finish the 3rd dungeon. At this point ( minor spoiler ) you unlock more characters for your party and the game difficulty suddenly spikes. This is where the grindfest starts.
You ll be level 11 at the end of the 3rd dungeon if you do all the fights from the beginning of the game. The next mini dungeon and main dungeons are level 13. This might not seem like much but level up give huge boosts in this game and XP comes at a snail pace. Be prepared to redo each dungeon 2 or 3 times ( in a row) to be able to progress through the story.
This feels completely unecessary. The game could be a 20 hours great game, but instead it chooses to be a boring 40 hours game.

What made me stop is that on top of that, the characters do not get ANY xp if they are currently in the team. That means you can either stick for the whole game with 3 heroes or be ready for even more boring grinding. If the fights were super fun it'd be fine but they are not.

Minor other complaint: the battle musics are pretty lackluster. They give a nice mood, but none are there to pump you up or give a feel of intense action.

The story is nothing original from what i've seen. The characters have cool design and nice personalities though.

pros:
Absolutely amazing art, mind blowing animation quality
pretty good voice acting!
interesting hero skills to use during dungeon exploration with possibilities to trap monsters to get some advantage when battle starts, or use stealth to single monsters out.

Perfect remake of the original masterpiece.
This is how a remake should be made: allow the players to play the original experience at any time, or switch to a remarkable remastered version. I had fun switching back and forth all along!
The new system with the luck stone is also more interesting than in the original game ( no more grinding, instead they are hidden in extra secret challenges!) and the game even has a new hard mode!

The original was already a 10/10 and this is still a 10/10.

Mind the game is fairly short by today's standards ( it felt a lot harder to finish this game on master system with the painful MS controller...), expect about 5-6+ hours of gameplay for a normal difficulty run.

Love this game, so beautiful and super immersive in VR!
One of my favorite VR experience honestly, it just feels awesome when you're flying away from an enemy fleet and turn your (real) head back to look through the window and check if they are still following you.
The art's amazing, the controls feel great, the music's great, the voice acting is pretty good too... Not much to complain about.
The story telling's pretty basic with animated realistic comic book cutscenes as you progress where your character just remembers stuff. Not really anything mindblowing here.
Haven't finished the game yet (don't mind my game time, mostly spent doing runs when the game was unfinished during beta) so can't tell more yet.

So far this is probably a good 8/10 for me.

8/10

Great multiplayer dungeon crawler with great level design in the vein of the old games like Chaos engine or Gauntlet. Lots of secrets worth searching to survive the entire campaign, fun character classes and excellent soundtrack. The first boss battle is kinda confusing though.

Even if I understand the bad ending was a really bold decision from the devs, the good ending is not "impossible" to get or obscure. If you see an item that looks incongruous and is hard to get in a level, then you probably lack curiosity not to expect this to have a use later on! If you enjoy arcade action, exploration and secrets then you'll enjoy this game for sure.

The desolate hope is a strange game.
You can totally feel the "clickteam engine" feel in the whole game and a lot of things feel very amateurish ( scene transitions, level design, absence of AI in the platformer phase) and the platform part of the game (a good 70% of the game) are uninsteresting.

HOWEVER, the boss battles alone are so different from anything I've played and so awesome that it makes the game really unique. The story is pretty original and the world building's good, I really wanted to know more about the derelicts and their story. The boss' designs are excellent too,

In the end its a very unique game that wont be for everyone. If you can go through the rough aspects of the game, go through the kinda grindy parts where you collect money to get upgrades then you're in for a very fresh experience.

Great old school RPG with clear influence from Final Fantasy 6 and FF mystic quest.
The game's kinda like FF mystic quest but with a decent story (Replaying it, it really had the most basic story ever...) and a really interesting battle system.
Musics dont loop very well for a lot of songs which fairly annoying and few songs are actually memorable (especially problematic for the basic fight and boss theme that you'll hear many times) except for a couple ones.
Art's done by one of the best pixel artists around and looks all around gorgeous.

Overall if you're craving for an old school RPG with a more western style of writing and characters with strong personalities, then you should really consider buying this.
