Good game! Got a bit annoyed over a difficulty spike at a certain point, but once I let go of the feeling of having to perfect every mission and instead revisit them after level up the game was alright again. It does get a bit tedious with the backtracking and the sleep mechanic, but overall it's a fun experience. Runs flawless under Proton.

I wish there was a "neutral" review option. Anyways.. it is a very good game, though it does not grip me the same way the first one did. I am specifically not a fan of countdowns starting right at the start of a mission, or endless waves of enemies. And this is way more prevalent than in the first game. I get what this is trying to achieve: keep the players on their toes. Stop them from playing "too safe". But it's a bit of a killjoy for me. If I put time into planning my crew skills, positioning, moves and abilities, I want to be rewarded for that. Like being able to clear a room without having to worry about a timer pushing me. And since you'll never know what kind of alarmed enemy is going to spawn from which door/gate, a perfectly planned and executed run can still end up in defeat. Just because of randomness. This does not appeal to me in the slightest, which is a shame. The core gameplay loop of the game is still fantastic, as is the artwork, music and overall polish. And yes, you can configure the difficulty to delay the alarms. But I'd rather disable them completely on some missions. It just rubs me in the wrong way that enemies can spawn reinforcements without end. This would be nice for some missions, or special encounters. But endless reinforcements every time on every heist? It also kiiiinda breaks my immersion in this fun little world: where do all these reinforcements come from? On some missions, I'm able to just keep happily killing the spawning bots. By now, my crew has slain whole armies. This just seems silly for no other reason than to punish the player for a safer playstyle. If I want to play defensively, just let me. If you want to disencourage that sort of playstyle, give me incentives to do it differently - like the loot dissolving as you did in some missions. Encourage me. Don't punish me. Endless waves of enemies can be a neat trick, but SHE2 overuses this. And I know that you can reduce the amount of spawning enemies, but I dislike the system behind it. The open skill system is kind of a mixed bag. It's great for experimenting, but unlocking specific job skills for your crew is extremely tedious and super grindy. The amount of XP your crew gains is always the same, regardless of the mission. So the best choice to level up is to look for a short mission that you can bring a lot of bots to, and then keep playing that. Over and over and over again. And once you have the skills, some combinations are (as was to be expected) utterly broken and trivialize the whole game loop. I preferred the old system, where individual characters were locked in their class. Grinding does not suit you well, Steamworld Heist. I am still overall recommending it, but I hope the next game goes a bit easier on the constant "pushing" of the player, and rewards aggressiveness, instead of punishing defensiveness.

This is an incredibly good continuation of an already incredibly good 2D turn-based tactics game Steam World Heist. Lovely presentation and music, really addictive "just one more mission" gameplay, highly customizable difficulty (you can even run missions with incomplete crew), a story that does its job (there also are a few cool references to other games in the SteamWorld series) and fun exploration. The exploration part is a new addition and I think it fits well. You need to pay attention to it though and make timely upgrades to you submarine, otherwise it is easy to miss the Unsinkable achievement like I did as there is no reloading if you've died on the world map. I've played the entire game on Steam Deck and it was a really smooth experience. If you play on PC, make sure to use a controller, as the submarine is probably clunky to control with a keyboard. I've payed the day 1 price for it and it was well worth it.

Steamworld Heist 2 is everything I wanted it to be as the excellent Steamworld Heist 1's sequel: [*]The original felt too short? SH2 got you, it has enough length for you to really spread your wings with the team building. [*]SH1 didn't have enough build variety? SH2 got you, it has a multiclass build system and an incentive for the player to send all of your team members on missions, not only your A-team over and over. [*]SH1 annoyed you with its limited item storage system? SH2 got you - poof, it's gone! [*]SH1 didn't have a weird minigame for you to play between missions? SH2 got you... well, I'm not sure if this one is a straight improvement for everyone, but I had fun sinking some ships, Sid Meier Pirates style. And at worst, it occupies 5-10% of the gaming time tops and has a separate difficulty slider you can turn all the way down if you don't enjoy it. If you haven't played the original Steamworld Heist, don't worry - there is no requirement to play it before playing this one. The sequel's story makes some light references to the original game, but nothing crucial. Either way, you're in for a very polished turn-based tactics experience! Oh, and if you're a veteran of this genre, do yourself a favor and start on Elite right away - the game's difficulty slider is tuned to be on the easier side this time, unlike in the first game.
