3/5 ★ – Diluted_Thought's review of SteamWorld Heist: Ultimate Edition.

So first off, I've never played a game like "Steam World Heist" and the first few missions of this game felt like a breath of fresh air. Coming off of "Steam World Dig" I thought this game would be worth giving a shot too. It's very charming, the bots have some fun designs and the game play really made me look for some really awesome trick shots. But my issue came when I had to grind some levels for underdeveloped / new characters. Something I really don't enjoy doing. Replaying earlier levels wasn't quite as fun. That particular design choice made a really cool game feel like a bit of a slog. I know this game why hyped when it first released and there are many who love it, but back tracking didn't feel great to me. The game play was always fun, don't get me wrong, but I always felt like it was taking much longer than it needed to which drew out the experience.
