I don't remember anyone saying it was awful and my opinion is simply that I enjoyed it but felt let down by the way it ends abruptly without me feeling like they fleshed out the ideas. Would you not agree that games try to give a natural feeling that you're growing in power, learning things and applying them to their fullest to create that sense of achievement? I didn't get that joyful release, it just petered out. That's it.

Basically the game touts itself as Metroidvania, and it has a sleek shell - but it really doesn't deliver at all. It's kind of patronising and awful since I'm pretty sure the developers could have, with just a slightly different design philosophy made it legitimately great.
Also it's got a metacritic score of 82, and a user score of 9.3.

Hey, I think I found something!

But to be honest, you might not be saying that the game is awful. But you're not clear at all to what you referring to when you say "It's kind of patronising and awful". ImpAtom did ask if you were saying that the game was patronizing, but you didn't really answer that question directly.

Personally, I thought the game was pretty light on content, but what was there felt really polished. I enjoyed it, even thought I think I would have been better off waiting for a sale. I'm probably going to go back and replay it sometime.

Edit: Oops, beaten.

I phrased it poorly, you read it with a looking-to-get-butthurt-and-bust-chops slant... Po-tae-to po-ta-to.
This is a really silly thing to say. That was a perfectly valid interpretation of your poorly-phrased statement. Actually, why do you seem really aggressive about this?

Dig is actually the second Steamworld game, the first one was a tower defense game for DSiWare that I didn't even know existed until they mentioned it at GDC or some other trade show. Part of the reason they launched Dig on 3DS was because they managed to turn a profit on their DSiWare despite it getting little to no press.

Maybe we'll get a Steamworld puzzle game next. Steamworld Puzzle Quest?

Caught you in the act of trying to goad a slapfight, son! Hang your head etc.

Well, I phrased that question weirdly, and decided to rephrase it in a way that seemed more grammatically correct to me. I guess it did come off as more aggressive than before, so sorry about that.

I heard that the Wii version had messed up loading screens and credits though.

Played it on PS2, fought Orochi once, stopped playing there. My brother and sister played through the entire thing, though, and they liked it a lot.
