One of those games that I've been meaning to get round to for years. The game being 89p on the Switch eshop certainly convinced me to go for it.
A really nice little time waster this one. Just keep digging for jewels and to see where you end up. The upgrades can't come soon enough, as getting that double jump and negating fall damage were a god send, and made the game as fun as it was.
It took me 5 hours to complete. That's 5 hours of digging, jumping and blowing shit up, in a really fun and fairly laid back manner. Some of the baddies can be a pain in the arse, and all the laser cannons near the bottom were a ball ache, but otherwise, it was just a lot of fun digging.
I'm probably gonna have to pick up the sequel now, as I had a very good time with this. A perfect length, too. It being inexpensive, and the great gameplay make this an excellent value game, that I honestly wish I'd played sooner. But I've played it now and I'm pretty thrilled how far that 89p got me.

It absolutely can't be overstated how formative this game was to me as a kid. Bias aside, I can't think of many things it doesn't do well at. It's an experimental metroidvania, and while Dig 2 becomes a full-fledged one using the excellent foundations here, the core gameplay of Dig 1 is so solid that I almost prefer it at times. Only wish is that it was longer and maybe a little more replayable, but that's what Dig 2 is for. Get it now while it's on sale for a dirt cheap price :)
SteamWorld Dig is a cool little gem! Digging down, searching for treasure, and upgrading your gear to go deeper is super satisfying. The story is simple, but the atmosphere is fun and the world feels mysterious in a good way. Can get a bit grindy as you play, and some of the boss fights are frustrating, but for a charming indie adventure with a unique spin, I'd definitely recommend it!
