Steamworld Dig is a fun Steampunk Western Metrovanian with some mining thrown in for good measure. It's not a combination I would have thought of, but it works really well. The core loop is to dig, fight, and then return to the surface to sell your loot and buy new equipment, allowing you to delve deeper into the mysterious mine. It got its hooks into me immediately and didn't let go until I saw the credits roll. Also, its a perfect Steamdeck game if that is your jam.

Easy to pick up and understand, simple UI and controls. Nice graphics and music. Grabbed it on sale and happy i did. Its also a perfect game to play on deck. Took me little over 4 hours to reach end boss and another 4 hours to beat it. Cant decide if i was just unlucky or just suck.

Steam Deck performance review of SteamWorld DIg. This game is listed as 'supported' but here is my steam deck performance feedback after spending +23 hours and getting 100% of the achievements. If you want a full review of the game itself, there are plenty of reviews online Long story short: It runs perfectly. Problems I encountered with SteamWorld Dig: 1. The game crashed once. I encountered no graphical glitches. No audio glitches. No forced restarts/resets of the steam deck. Battery drain was not a problem. I can easily get +5 hours on a single charge with 50% brightness using the old LED steamdeck.

Steamworld Dig is a nice little puzzle mining game that's a lot of fun and pleasantly challenging without ever being frustrating. Like many games of its kind, it draws you in with this "just dig up one more gem... just explore one more cave" addictive spiral. Anyone who always found digging in Terraria to be the most beautiful thing and likes the unusual setting will have a lot of fun here.

So very metroid-vania, so much dig.... I played the second game in the series first, and now finally got a decent controller to finish this one, thats the first point, a controller is highly recommended. Steamworld Dig is a decent, well-polished and well-rounded product, which is fine. It served as a passable prequel to the second adventure, whilst not as good, sprawling and expansive in its scope as the second game, in its own right a wonderful enough game. In Steamworld Dig's metroid-vania-like aspects you carve the stage out as you go vertically basically with elements of rogue-like as you constantly surface from your digs to cash in your treasures and level up your character and go back in for more. The skills Rusty learns along the way tie into the level design, so meaning the way certain things are mined by certain skills exclusively, one notices some 'sharp edges' in level design designed to limit the way the character can move and interact with the environment, which I dont remember being as prominent in the second game, also tied with the abilities at your disposal to deal with the threats the caves throw at you as well. A charming, delightful romp with surprisingly little story where the premise serves primarily as the motivation until the end where we see a bit more of the Steamworld Universe that we've seen across the series. Not bad for the first entry, and a functional starting point to enjoy what the series has to offer. Perhaps a little short in runtime.
