Nov. 2024

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.

Oct. 2024

This game was incredibly charming, I picked it up while it was like sub >$10 and I got a solid 7 hours of game play out of it. The writing made me laugh, the character art style is charming and immediately likeable, the upgrade system felt satisfying as taking the time made things go faster but you can also just brute force your way through so much of it. This is a very linear exploration type game, there's a bottom to the mines, but there's also lots of secrets! I say this is a great game for scratching a platforming and harvesting itch. Take your time, figure out the puzzles (theres two or three I gave up on, figure them out for me!) and just have a BLAST :)!!

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.

March 2024

Plays well, looks nice and progression is satisfying. I am pleasantly surprised. A bit of a metroidvania type game with a hint of Spelunky and Terraria. It's not as difficult or in depth as the two but still a fair comparison to make. Not a very long game but you'll easily get a few hours out of it. Pretty damn good. 6.8 out of 10
