A good little metroidvania with a satisfying gameplay loop of mining ores and improving your gear. In the endgame, you will be going through the levels at lightning speeds with all the movement abilities that you collect. To beat the final boss, you have to use all the abilities you have acquired thus far. It's crazy that other metroidvania games don't do this often.

The story was surprisingly engaging. All the 3 steamworld games seem to be connected storywise so that might be something to consider before buying. The only thing disappointing was the metroidvania design itself. Once you unlock an ability, the path where you have to use it is usually right in front of you.
