“I remember this game being really good when I played it three quarters of a decade ago but have unfortunately forgotten all the reasons why. I think it might be the pacing? And possibly the atmosphere? Oh well, I…”

“One of the best metroidvania games out there, in my opinion. It's much more polished than the previous game, with much more content. It's not a difficulty game, but I did not found the game boring or anything of the…”
“A complete game, with quite challenging puzzles. I'm glad I was able to solve them all on my own. Overall, the team did a good job. I wish the content could be longer :D”
“Very enjoyable game. Τhe difficulty is just right, with great level design and flow”

“Don't know why they had to make it a metroidvania-style game. Why not just make it a fun mining game. Why add all this pointless, platforming crap. Could've been fun”
“A worthy sequel to an all-time classic. Only problem is that for some reason, you can no longer buy ladders. Why not? Other than that, it's a great game and well worth your time, especially if you bought the first one…”

“Roligt och klurigt spel, kunde varit svårare mobs och fler olika sorters mobs.”
“This game is branded 'sandbox'. Not sandbox. It's a difficult platformer. Its easy setting is enough to tax my patience. I will likely not finish it.”

“[h3][b]It doesn’t change the formula too much, and it’s still enjoyable[/b][/h3] SteamWorld Dig 2 is a very faithful continuation of the previous game’s formula. It keeps that mix of digging, exploration, and upgrades in a larger and better-connected map, without trying to…”
— a player, Steam review · 19 hrs played“SteamWorld Dig 2 surprised me in the best way. The blend of exploration, upgrades, and light platforming kept me digging deeper every time I played. Each new tool or ability genuinely changes how you approach the mines, which makes progression feel exciting. The visuals are…”
— a player, Steam review · 30 hrs played“An improvement over the first game in every way, and I found the first game to be really good already.
