Nintendo World Report Second Opinion - 10/10
Dig 2 isn't just another SteamWorld game, but the best one in the series so far. It blows the original out of the water with such ease that it seems almost simple.
Nintendo World Report - 9.5/10
SteamWorld Dig 2 takes everything fans loved about the original game and turns the dial up to eleven. It's bigger, better, and even more addicting than its predecessor, and absolutely deserves a spot in every single Switch owner's library.
TechRaptor - 9.5/10
Improving upon the ideas started in the first game, SteamWorld Dig 2 impresses in every way imaginable, and offers an experience that will have you glued to your screen as you dig deeper and deeper into its vast and unique mines.
Gaming Boulevard - 9.5/10
Steamworld Dig 2 is the perfect entry in the [Steamworld] franchise, it looks amazing, plays amazingly, and leaves you wanting for more.
Hardcore Gamer - 4.5/5
SteamWorld Dig 2 is a huge, expansive and utterly fantastic mining/platformer, with a great variety of challenges and plenty of tools to attack them with.
GodIsAGeek - 9/10
Dorothy and Fen's adventure is a brilliant slice of zen gaming, a treat. Image & Form have knocked the it out of the park with this sequel.
Nintendolife - 9/10
SteamWorld Dig 2 is another confident effort from Image & Form, and a worthy successor to a game that's a treasured part of many eShop collections. Stylish and good-looking, it also has the series' trademark humour and, yes, a pretty good soundtrack. It refines and expands upon the qualities of the original and hits some delicious high points, albeit some of the smartest segments and ideas appear only briefly. It sets the scene for more content and games, too, which is pleasing to see.
AIR Entertainment - 9/10
I am positively hooked and this will have me playing for many months to come.
Ntower [German] - 9/10
IGN - 8.8/10
SteamWorld Dig 2 retains the original's addictive resource-gathering gameplay, but supplements it with a gorgeously detailed, handcrafted world. Its heady mix of exploration, combat, platforming, and puzzle solving, alongside an expansive set of abilities and mods gives it plenty of variety and a great gameplay rhythm.
SwitchItalia [Italian] - 8.5/10
The sequel offers a significant leap in the audio and visual quality compartment, alongside a very refined level design. Maybe the longevity still hurts at this price point, but the steampunk universe created is simply too charming to be ignored.
Cubed3 - 8/10
Anyone looking for a weekend well spent can't go wrong with SteamWorld Dig 2; it is the very definition of a great sequel.
Metro UK - 8/10
The SteamWorld franchise digs deeper than ever and comes up with another charming mix of Metroidvania and Boulder Dash.
