I would say that this game is almost perfect for its level, and just like a sequel. But there is one single thing that really spoiled my impression and pleasure: There is such a place as a Trial Cave, which can only be opened at the end of the game. There are different rooms with tests of gamer's skills, and all of them are slightly more difficult or easier, but honestly... all except one: the master's room, which you need to complete only by jumping. And it was an unimaginably stupid decision. It's not about not doing this level or room in a place called Trial Cave, but about the fact that in the main game itself there was never an explanation or the need for even minimal jumping tricks. When I came to that room with zero experience and expectations of such a "setup" and started searching the Internet for what was wrong, these tricks, as it turned out, were enough for entire manuals.
   ...Now, with that in mind, remember that there are several rooms and if you die in any place, you will start from the beginning ¯_(ツ)_/¯… Expand

   A really really great game! It has a big world and it's so much fun digging through it.

No more using resources for teleporters and having to worry about running out of them for upgrades.
   I also really enjoyed the new methods of moving throughout the world and the incredibly regular stream of upgrades one gets. As well as the number of challenges, secrets and generally quite big map. It took me almost 13 hours to finish at 100%. With the first Dig, it was almost 6 hours.
   Usually, I have a lot to say about games but here, I can only say that almost everything just feels right.
   The only downsides for me were that there are still not enough meaningful boss encounters. The only one stuck in my mind is the very first one. A funny cut scene and pretty decent mechanics. After that, until the final boss, there really aren't any encounters that feel as significant. And the last boss is very easy once again. Beat it on the first attempt, just like in Dig.
   Overall, I loved every minute of it and already can't wait to see what these bots are up to next!… Expand

   В данной части разработчики учли все недоработки довольно казуального оригинала, которые не позволяли тому выйти в элиту инди-игр, сделав очень добротную и действительно годную данжн-кроулер метроидванию (наконец, в чистом виде, и всё это - в гротескном стимпанк-вестерне). Вот только, к сожалению, и этот факт не помог игре стать действительно популярной, но всё же свою порцию восторга и одобрения от фанатов жанра игра снискала.
   Играется данный сиквел намного более интереснее оригинала, несмотря на привычные и знакомые уже всем механики. Элементы довольно олдскульного жанра Rocks and diamonds здесь уже является не единственным увлечением, хотя схватки с противниками всё ещё выглядят весьма казуально и однобоко, но собственно и игра не про это. Все самые классические элементы метроидвании в данной части сделаны намного более грамотно, тем самым заметно освежают серию, заставляя копаться с удовольствием в ранее недостижимых местах, а местные пещеры действительно дают игроку вызов, который не так-то просто пройти с первого раза. Ну и стоит ли говорить о том, как много тут секретов, каждый из которых действительно приятно находить.… Expand

   Very nice at the start, becomes essentially impossible after a while. And I mean Manic Miner level-impossible here. Treasure caves startVery nice at the start, becomes essentially impossible after a while. And I mean Manic Miner level-impossible here. Treasure caves start requiring perfect moves 100% of the time, 1/10 sec precision with instant reflexes or you need to restart them - and the grab jump mechanics are not precise enough for this requirement. I prefer Mario 64-level platformers, rewarding but not too punishing.… Expand
