4/5 ★ – Vole's review of SteamWorld Dig 2.

Platform: Xbox Series X/S My experience: I loved it! 😍 Rating: 8.5/10 Steamworld Dig 2 is my first experience of the franchise. I tried this title on the switch a few years ago but for some reason it just didn’t click with me. But after picking it up on Xbox, I can safely say this is a fantastic metroidvania style experience. What I loved so much about this game was the digging. Yes, the title does in fact mean there is a lot of digging. However, what’s so great is the fact the metroidvania side is linked to just digging down to uncover the mystery of where Rusty has disappeared to. With its various gadgets, great art style and soundtrack, this is a must play for any metroidvania fans. My biggest gripe was its ending, but I won’t spoil that here. Just know that it still feels worth playing, even if the ending isn’t what you expect.
