![]() Steamworld Heist is actually a very good game as well. They serve quality food instead! The same team released Steamworld Heist in 2016, leaving the ground to aim for space. Just like McDonalds, except that this franchise does not suck. Since the first episode was released, Steamworld has become a “franchise”. ![]() While I am usually not a fan of open world games, I found myself coming back to it regularly, because there’s always the attraction of what lies further below, as you dig deeper and deeper, with secret rooms, creatures and what not. It was certainly not a hugely impressive game, but it was pretty well designed, simple but with a good focus on exploration and mining. I liked the first Steamworld Dig very much. But very soon, you will figure out there’s much more to it. And you would be forgiven to think so: It certainly looks and feels very similar at the beginning. The same thing With a female robot in the leading role this time around. It’s unlikely, but if you die too many times, it’s still possible to get into a situation where you might have to farm enemies for “blood stone” drops to unlock a piece of vital equipment.At first, you’d mistake this game for the first episode.
