Is there an NPC that gives you a hint where missing artifacts could be located? I'm at 37/42 now. I have found
the door in the sky above the Windy Plains but it won't open. I've also only activated 2 out of 3 torches in the fire temple so there's definitely one around there and I assume another one once I lit up all three torches. Also, apparently the cave of the last boss fight features some collectibles too?
finally, after several retires found all the missing secrets
really liked the game, but there is very few bosses
only 2 if we don't count fen
they should put more bosses in the sequel, if there any.
now, about those trails some of you are talking about, where are they?
also, how many hidden NPC i should find? the ones that gives me hidden upgrade that have negative effect.

Go to the place and then check the map, the % is in the bottom left of the map screen.

$30 CAD, it's rough times up here lol
Oh man, my eyes after a certain sequence:
Having just completed that sequence and gotten a cool new ability (
), how much more do I have left in the game? I've played about 5 hours so far but know there's a bunch left I have yet to explore.
I had forgotten about the photo-sensitivity warning at the beginning of the game!
I was always confused what it might be alluding to. Now I know.
I'm not particularly photosensitive but my eyes are still seeing spots 10 minutes after the fact. Eesh!

I dunno guys, I'm not sure their home icon is good enough to grace my Switch home screen. /s

I guess I arrived underpowered at the final boss because I was getting my ass beat and couldn't finish it. Grinded a bit to buy some unlocks and got it done. Clocked in at 7 hours and 30% of the secrets. I really don't feel too into going and getting 100%.

Took me 7.5 hours to finish it with most of the unlocks, which is more than I expected.
I really enjoyed my time with this game.. Good pacing, great presentation and just a very solid platformer overall. Some challenge caves reminded me of Meat Boy and got me excited for all the 2D platforming goodness that we'll probably get on the Switch in the years to come.

It does look like crap to be honest.
Luckily the game is great. I'm really enjoying it.
Holy shit that Leaky Lodge challenge cave is some maximum bullshittery, think you made it but nope here's 20 snailes.
The music in the underground forest with the whale sounds is some amazing music though.
SWD2 is a very good advertisement on how great the Switch screen is, it's so vibrant and crisp.

Anyone remember that XB360 Indie game Miner: Dig Deep?
I loved that game and this reminds me of that but with much, much more to do and vastly superior production values.
I already bought this on PSN. Looking forward to playing it when I get home.

yup, they're a great twist on the "push blocks across a frozen lake" thing.
making you think 3 moves ahead, having the carts break down ... you can't just brute force them without thinking at all.

Minecart Madness was a nice change of pace, I could do with a few more puzzles on that level. It made me go reinstall Full Bore and give it another shot.
You have a few more things to do, perhaps 70% of the way to the credits? The thing you'll be rewarded with after that place will speed up the remaining of the game a bit.
Speaking of which, did I miss something or was the whole
Vectron + Fen
well, the map shows you the percentage of secrets you found in each area. Teleport to each major area and see where you'd still be missing one.
An artifact you can literally not find until you're very close to the final part of the story is
the one in the oasis (where the humans live) - top left corner. requires jetpack.
I wouldn't say it's unexplained.
Fen helped Dorothy with the task, and Dorothy entered that "alternate universe".
Although I never played Steamworld Heist that much, there might be additional clues there,
since Fen apparently is a totally different creature in that game

Is there a point in letting
?
all those face-blocks into the lava in the temple of destruction or whatever cheesy name it's called
The Technomancer

That was a super fun little game. It went on longer than I expected also. I wish it had done a bit more to...fundamentally change the mechanics
The rocketpack made stuff easier but it didn't super change what I was doing
I thought there might be but when I saw one that couldnt go in (hard rock in its path) I gave up.
This has been an enjoyable ride so far, though the tonal shift in a certain area was a little jarring.
lol.
Anyway, before doing that I guess I did things a little out of order, since I pushed my way through one of the near-endgame areas apparently before I was supposed to. Oh well!
I didn't expect entering Vectron to suddenly turn the game into a survival-horror

Why are digital games on psn so expensive? I know our dollar is weaker but not that weak. Dig 2 is $21 on steam and would be priced similarly if it was on Xbox. Psn is almost always $5-10 more expensive for digital titles than anywhere else. Not all games are hit with the Sony tax but many are, why?
I double dipped for the first steam world and really want to play the sequel on console but will have to pass until a sale.
It has been available in Europe for almost a week now.
Think he means PS4 and Vita in Europe.
So yeah, PS4 and Vita dudes, get diggin'
