I played this over Christmas and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm not a massive fan of Metroidvanias but i thought this was excellent with a really rewarding gameplay loop.

Yeah, I thought that too. Hardly used it

Started on this last night. Wasn't gripping me to begin with and then suddenly I can't put it down and I'm at my desk right now and I'm picturing digging patterns...

I have yet to finish this or Heist. So far though, i'd rate them as Dig > Dig 2 >>> Heist.

It's a lovely little game. The music is brilliant and it has a real sense of charm and a massive focus on exploration. As far as Metroidvania games go it's one of the best. Also the upgrade system and shop is really well done.

Wish my image sig would work

I feel like I'm too powerful now. All the challenge has gone out of it. :(

Finished this last night. Tried a few times to beat the final boss and couldn't, so spent a couple of hours hoovering up tonnes of stuff and tweaking my Cog upgrades.

Not a difficult game, but huge fun.

I think I probably preferred Heist, on balance, but they're all good.

I finished Heist at the weekend (19 hours, 21 after I went back and got the last few stars I was missing), it was great. Did it on veteran and now I sort of want to do NG+ on the top difficulty - although I started it and died on the very first mission :lol: My lack of character upgrades threw me off, or at least that's what I'm claiming, as I only failed 3 missions in my first play through.

Anyway, having played Heist I am now pretty much sold on trying out Dig, although I realise they are very different games. Should I jump in at 2, or wait for the first game to release on Switch?

Just get dig 2. It's superior in every way.
