SteamWorld Dig is a great game that everyone needs to play. The art style is definitely unique and is used in all of their other games set in the SteamWorld franchise. All the characters look really cool and make you feel at home when you return to the surface. After 4 hours of playing the gameplay can get a little repetitive but all the new additions to your arsenal attempt to keep it new. I really liked the mechanic of mining ore and then selling it for money to buy upgrades. This offered the player that sense of progression as you watch yourself become stronger and faster. There were some interesting puzzles added to the mix of gameplay, but none of them added any real challenge and were solved fairly quickly. The enemies did offer a challenge but they it was very limited. It only started to become a challenge on the last area of the game.
