SteamWorld Dig 2 |OT| New Digs

Completely agree with your thoughts on the first. it felt so incredibly generic and not particularly well designed either.
But yeah, this is an absolutely night and day improvement.
Perfect!
New icon is perfection. I played around 40 minutes of this earlier and it's ridiculous how good it looks and controls. Can't wait to get home to play some more.
Hearing how people are completing the campaign in 5 hours is making me go super slow too lol. Gotta pace myself to really enjoy it.

Man, the Pro controller's D-pad is dogshit. I'm actually better off playing games like these with the analog stick or the Joy Cons.
yeah this is me. I got the first game on sale and bailed half way through. it was fine it just wasn't really doing it for me.
this game is freaking incredible so far. the graphics are amazing, the controls are amazing, the level design is amazing, the pace is amazing, the exploration and reward for exploration is amazing.
I'm still early (just upgraded my bombs) but this game is damn near knocking my socks off right now. everything about it is clicking with me. and I'm still super early!
also the hd rumble in this game is incredible. the feeling you get when you plop into a pool of water is especially great.
hats off to the developers, seriously. this has just been some sublime gaming so far for me.
MUCH better
this game controls like a dream using that analog stick. it's giving me tropical freeze flashbacks in that regard, seems specifically designed to feel amazing with the stick.

This is the reason why I bought two more joycons than the pro controller, I didnt want to support a defective product..
You can mod it to make it almost perfect tho.

I was thinking about getting this game, but I want something with a lot of content, and that I will find fun to replay. I hear this is only 4 or 5 hours long, but with a lot of post game content, and unlockables that really elongate the time spent. What is the verdict on this?
Oh is it really? I thought the devs said most people will take at least 8-10 hours.

I wrote the Cubed3 review and I can attest to this.
Dig 2 is almost twice as long as the original.
It really doesn't feel like it though.

Thats what I heard too. Then I saw a post on r/NintendoSwitch where someone said they beat it in 4-5, and others agreed. So, I guess, I'm not sure.

Interesting. I guess results may vary.

Absolutely loving this so far! It's exactly what I wanted out of a sequel. So addictive that if I had the time I would probably play through it in one sitting.

Game's good after 3.5h, it's not Hollow Knight tier though.
Not really sure I see the need to compare the two, but ok.

Just finished.
The fact Image & Form managed to top Heist astounds me.
Highlight was the jawdropping sequence in

If the player plays it with location pointers ON, it obviously can become a speedrun attempt even on the first try.
How many secret %? Did you look for secrets on the first run, or did you just get the one you found?

Thank god! I just downloaded it on Switch and was appalled when I saw the icon. Haha.

Man this game is good as hell. I was initially disappointed that they revisited Dig instead of doing another new thing, but this game rules

There was a guy from IGN saying it is one of the best of 2017, and his favourite indie. I'm guessing this will end up on a ton of GOTY lists

The wait for the PS4 release is unbearable! lol. Tempted to get it on steam instead. :{
Speaking of icons... On a unrelated note
This might sound dumb.
But is there away I can hide Switch icons? or move them? I would not want my brother to see something like doom when that comes out and then ask lol
Is there a benefit on digital or physical when it comes to the icons? I notice my physical games stay there even when not on the cart.

That is a great post, my son will want to play and I will just tell him no.
Love the new icon. Has it already been updated?
Yeah.
I wish physical games did not stay around after I've removed them. I want to get rid of 1-2 switch as well, but for whole other reasons lol

Yo, thanks for letting me know Hob is finally coming out. Been psyched since PSX 2015.
And fuck yeah Steamworld Dig 2! I played the first on 3DS, so maybe I'll go PS4/Vita this time so I can be mobile.
it's such a good game if PS4 is the preferred place to play it for you just hold strong
unless you want to double dip this early lol
Gotta say that with Edith Finch, Night in the Woods and now this, Indies are vying for a lot of spaces in my top 10 list this year. I've put in about 2 and a half hours and, so far, it's been great. Just reached the
and all this talk of a 'jaw-dropping' moment up ahead has me excited.

About 12 hours. I beat the game in 8. I beat the original game in 4 on my first playthrough to put that time in to perspective.

How are the controls with the Joycons and the lack of a D-Pad? I played the first one on PS4 and wanna make sure I'm not gonna lose something control-wise with the Switch.
I find the gameplay cycle in the Steamworld Dig games to be very addictive. So far the changes/additions in the sequel are very smart about expanding your tool set and also streamlining certain mechanics (like being able to climb walls Super Meat Boy style, instead of having to rely on ladders).
About Switch controls: I've just been using the analog stick and have had no problems. The game is not really heavy on precision platforming, but the game controls great anyhow.
