The game added all the extra content, bosses and mechanics that couldn’t be featured the first time around. We needed an ‘easy’ project after Heist, and Dig 2 was the natural choice,” Sigurgeirsson concluded. “We then spent two years making SteamWorld Heist, and that was really tiring.

Instead you can progress steadily, and that's really addictive.” You don't really have to die very often in SteamWorld Dig 2. Also, there is so much to explore, discover and master. “Every resource you find is a small reward. “I think its appeal has very much to do with the inherent mystery and excitement of digging,” he said.
