In GameSpot’s SteamWorld Dig 2 review critic Matt Espineli gave the game a 9/10, writing, “Every advancement Dig 2 makes to its story and mechanics strengthens your initiative to progress. There’s an overwhelming sense of momentum that runs through the adventure; as if developer Image & Form sifted the original in a pan, removing its redundancies while expanding upon what made it so fun to persistently play. In your quest to acquire every upgrade and explore every nook and cranny, there’s no shortage of hidden collectables to discover. And with post-game content that unlocks after you unearth every secret, the desire to keep digging intensifies. Dig 2 manages to not only be an exceptional successor, but a great adventure in its own right.”
