Will get it on the PS4, shame about not having a 3DS version.

Hope they make Heist 2 as well.

The whole thing seemed a bit aimless to me. Great idea though, I bet it was absolutely perfect for a handheld.

Heist? It was good (I've still not completed it, though) but it didn't hook me like SWD.

Heist was sublime (IMO) and on balance I preferred it to Dig (which surprised me as I was skeptical about the turn-based thing) but it was perfect for a commute.

I really need a Switch. Wish I'd taken that £25 off on Amazon as I can't see it being much cheaper before Christmas.

You mean Dig? If so, get out, etc.

What the...:lol: Too early in the day for this, men, sorry. Yes I meant Dig. Lovely aesthetic and mechanics but not a huge amount to it. I recall hating the...jumping?

I wasn't enamoured of it at first, tbh. In fact the gap between me first playing it and then finally enjoying it, must have been weeks going on months. (Played it, ditched it. Tried it again, nope. It took one more go before I finally got into it.) I think I gave it as many chances as I did because it was the only game which was anything like my 360 indie fave Miner Dig Deep.

I loved Dig. Played it over a day or 2. Wonderful.

Heist on the 3DS was brilliant. Perfectly suited to that platform.

Having just done a little reading, it turns out the Steamworld Quest story was an intentional red herring to cover for Dig 2. A shame, hope they do get around to trying different genres within the Steamworld framing.

Fracking hell, this game is addictive. It's perfect for the switch with its pick-up-and-play style and it just oozes charm. I really dig this gem of a game. :wub:

Only 2 pages on this game :|

It's wonderful. Got it on the switch yesterday, it looks beautiful and I'm really enjoying exploring.

Didn't realise there was one for it. Finished it the other day, absolutely loved it, just as I loved the first one. Am just going around finding everything now. Such a wonderful little exploration game.
I might pick up Steamworld Heist as I love Image and Form's work, but not sure about the gameplay of it

I didn't really get on with Steamworld Heist for some reason. The randomly generated levels were just 'eh' to me.

Pretty much :lol:

I like that it lets you explore out of sequence. I've stumbled on some temple which I'm pretty sure I shouldn't be going to yet, but I'm doing it anyway.

Got this just after Christmas for my new Switch ( :wub: :wub: :wub: ). Really, really good. I loved Heist, and now wish I had it on Switch rather than PC, and this is just as good.

I do think the jetpack came too soon after the hookshot, which kind of removed some of the skill from the platforming. I suppose it'll probably ramp up to compensate, though.
