The end of the opening section is the only part that really strikes me as interesting. I would describe the game's opening as a strange limbo. Nothing particularly stands out as a holding it back, yet it has no real driving factor. While I wouldn't say SteamWorld Dig 2 necessarily fails in this respect, I struggled to find myself excited to continue. A game should tease, tempt, allure you into playing more show you a string to the heavens and make you want to climb it. Obviously, you don't go into a game expecting it to play all its cards right from the start. It comes across as though there is a fantastic movement system buried in the game, but just out of reach-stuck behind a rock your pickaxe simply cannot crack. It ticks every box, introducing the movement, the general feel of the level design, as well as the core aspect of the game: digging. The introductory segment presents itself well albeit somewhat slow paced. This being my first SteamWorld game, I wasn't quite sure what to expect aside from digging and a bit of steam.
