An enjoyable sequel to SteamWorld Dig. The lack of procedurally generated environments means that the game feels a bit shorter (even though my play time was longer), but it allows for a more in depth and better paced story.
Your sidekick (Fen) is quite entertaining and doesn't always have your best interests at heart. Imagine Navi, but she's insisting that you jump into lava because she claims that Zelda must be there.
The cogs are a nice feature too. You'll still upgrade your tools but you can use cogs that you've found in secret areas or inside caves to select special powers that unlock as you upgrade your items. But if you don't like your special powers, you can get the cogs back and put them somewhere else.
At 9 hours maybe it's a bit short, but there's always the temptation to go back and try and do it faster and smarter. Or to go back and do those frustrating caves which I skipped.
I wish the story continued after it did (though it seems it serves as a bridge between Dig 1 and Heist). So maybe it'll get me playing Heist which is sitting in my Steam Library waiting to be played.
