47. Steamworld Dig 2 (2017)

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/3/0/7/AABKTfAAEEVD.jpg

I don't really know how to feel about this game. On the one hand, there wasn't really anything bad about it. It was paced fairly well - it took me a bit over 8 hours, and had consistent progression + a variety of environments. The digging was a fairly neat mechanic. You essentially start at the surface and have to dig your way down to find explore new areas and mine for ore which you sell for money. You have limited torch fuel and limited space for ore, so you have to return to the surface fairly regularly, which I didn't mind as a mechanic to keep things fresh, but it could be occasionally frustrating. The upgrade systems were fairly cool - you can upgrade your various abilities with money, and also get new basic abilities with money.

The main thing I didn't care for was probably the setting/story. The post-apocalyptic wild west stuff was pretty blah, and the story was too uninteresting for there to be as much dialogue as there was. It's mostly optional, but still. Not really a top Metroidvania, and basically one I only played because they gave it away free on Steam and it got great reviews for some reason. Honestly, I probably should've put this a couple spots lower...

Hint: quadruple the beat 'em up carnage
