SteamWorld Dig 2 is a Metroidvania game, focused on exploration, platforming and tons, tons of digging. From the developers Image&Form, the SteamWorld series was widely acclaimed, with games like SteamWorld Heist, SteamWorld Tower Defense and the first SteamWorld Dig. And it's also one of my most beloved series in videogames, so I felt the need to make a thread to talk about it. It'll come to a lot of platforms, so I hope you give it a chance, because I think it's worth everyone's time. It'll cost 19.99€/19.99$ in every platform, so if you feel like you want to try it, that's not too expensive, is it? We have no words about a physical version, but it only eats about 200MB of your hard drive, so that won't be a issue at all.

SteamWorld Dig 2 follows a similar gameplay than the first one, with some additions and changes to improve the already solid gameplay of the first one. This game is almost 100% hand-designed, so I think this will improve the general level design. The first one was procedural generated, so I that's probably the biggest change to the formula. Also, the length was improved, and there are more secrets to find in this one. We can expect around 10-15 hours to beat the campaign, and I hope that the secrets keep the game running on my Switch for long. 

So, how do you feel about the series? Have you ever tried any SteamWorld game, and, in case you have, how was the experience with them? Are you as hyped as I am about this release? Do you plan on buying it?
