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 :)

Beautiful release of act 1, showing off gorgeous art and an incredible sense of 70s aesthetics. The initial plot beats play a little too close to the core Phantom framework without expanding upon them or interrogating its setting more, but its an early release and I'm incredibly intrigued in where the full product delivers its ideas.
