Having played SteamWorld Dig 2 before this one, and enjoyed it a fair bit, it feels like a simpler and more stripped down version of the same game. The digging has a soothing feel to it, but I bored quicker here compared to the sequel.

It's not a bad game by any means as they have taken everything from this one and improved and expanded it in SWD2. If you haven't played any of the games and just want the best go straight to the second one. If you want the full lore, you should start with this one.
