I would absolutely recommend this game to anyone, whether you’re familiar with the first SteamWorld Dig or not. Image and Form have done a fantastic job with this follow-up, and much like their track record so far with the SteamWorld universe, the experience here is impeccable.
I wish everyone who develops platform games understood movement mechanics as good as Image & Form. SteamWorld Dig 2 is a very good game in every aspect, but the cherry on top is the joy that comes from running around, jumping and climbing. [12/2017, p.62]

Brilliant game, my only issue is it ended too soon. I was not ready to stop playing. Absolute must play.

For $20, Steamworld Dig 2 packs an immense amount of value and fun
into a refreshing platformer with an interesting narrative, lots of
explosions, and the satisfying feeling of exploration and constant
progression. Really, what more could you want from something that
costs less than a real-life pickaxe?
Every advancement Dig 2 makes to its story and mechanics strengthens your initiative to progress. There's an overwhelming sense of momentum that runs through the adventure; as if developer Image & Form sifted the original in a pan, removing its redundancies while expanding upon what made it so fun to persistently play. In your quest to acquire every upgrade and explore every nook and cranny, there's no shortage of hidden collectables to discover.
I expected a nice mining action adventure. What I didn’t expect is that SteamWorld Dig 2 turns out to be that good. Charming design, great puzzles and a well thought out and executed upgrade system make this a very polished and thoroughly entertaining gaming experience.
SteamWorld Dig 2 is a worthy addition to any library, but stands out on the Switch because it works great as a portable game and also looks amazing on a big TV.
In summary, SteamWorld Dig 2 is a stellar addition to the Switch, and it’s a great throwback to the classic 2D platformers and side-scrollers of yesteryear. There’s more to the game than just the main story mode, and going off the beaten track to discover side quests, relics and other secrets is very rewarding. From the unique plot to the charming visuals, SteamWorld Dig 2 excels from the off. I especially loved the Western style music, which suits the theme of the game really well. Indie titles have been flooding onto the Switch since its release, and the highly-impressive nature of them has me excited to see what comes out next.
One of the best games you can play on switch. It’s simple but oh so fun and easy to follow. I only regret I also bought the first Steamworld dig, which is not half as good as the second version.

Following Rusty's disappearance at the end of SteamWorld Dig, his robot friend Dorothy heads to the town of El Machino in order to search for him.
As with the original, gameplay largely involves exploring a vast underground mine whilst defeating enemies and collecting various resources to upgrade your equipment. With improved controls, a far greater wealth of equipment to acquire and hand designed (rather than procedurally generated) levels this is a far more enjoyable experience however. Personally I’d just give the original a miss and play this.

Didn’t do enough different to the first game for me. Still a good game, well worth picking up on a sale.
