Thoroughly enjoying the game - the best mining based game that I have played for a very long time (and I started playing them in the 1980s) - Well executed - interesting game chat channel - and clearly well supported. Visually, the game is very attractive - there are a lot of controls to grasp, when playing via a keyboard on a PC, but the instructions and guides are very clear. When you die (and you probably will) just don't forget to get your next helpful little alien to go pick up all the pieces you dropped :)
Very fun game. I have not gotten past my first planet and was not sure at first how much I was going to enjoy it but now that I have played for awhile I am hooked. This game does not have the negative of constantly having to consult a wiki or forum to figure out how to play. It is pretty straightforward.

Fun at first, this game started feeling a little repetitive and frustrating by the 3rd planet. Even on normal difficulty I seemed to be constantly bombarded by enemies when all I wanted was to finally find the way to the next section / puzzle. I mostly enjoyed the puzzles but I finally got stuck on one only to find there are no proper walkthroughs yet. There are some gameplay videos out there but you'd have to just hope they happen to do the puzzle you need help on. I know a lot of people like to solve the puzzles with no hints at all but for those of you who use them just be aware. If they add a "zen" mode that removes those annoying enemies so I can just dig and solve puzzles then I'll probably come back to finish the game, but for now, I'm done. Good but not great. EDIT: Zen Mode added with fewer enemies.
Love this game! Playin at normal setting it's a nice mix of exploration with the right edge of danger and challenging but not too hard puzzle solving. Once you get the trick of the bosses, they're not too bad. But I haven't fought the last one yet.... I got stuck in Levantos (that place is confusing) and Ron was very helpful. I'm looking forward to the sequel!
I'm still waiting for something to eat my alien, but in the meanwhile I'm enjoying one of the best guns in gaming. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZhH8RLo7xM Watch my video to see gameplay for yourself, but if you've already played SteamWorld Dig then you know the drill. Your goal is to dig for resources, put things together, dig some more, and enjoying the ongoing exploration. The highlight to me is that SAMA's gun is always satisfying to use. Oh, and the jetpack works great too in case you make the mistake of digging straight down. Puzzles are simple enough if you're paying attention but you'll easily mess up if you dig first and think second. The controls are responsive, but you'll absolutely want to remap them. Graphics are nice, being hunted is fun, and the music is relaxing but perhaps too understated. Either the digging genre of games is for you or it's not. If it is, SAMA is a worthy addition to the genre. If you've never played one before, its charm might win you over.
Got recommended this in a random thread somewhere, and it's ended up being one of my favourite games of the year (actual release date irrelevant). There are a few different difficulty modes, including one called explorer which I am playing on, where you can happily whoosh about the map to your hearts content just finding stuff, or if you want things a bit spicier you can add a LOT more challenge. You lose your stuff on death but it stays where you died and you can go back and get it easily enough. The music is ambient chill personified, the puzzles aren't too hard but there are guides right here if you can't figure them out. I'm planning to go for all achievements and I hardly ever bother doing that, the game is just very fun and it's easy to get in the zone and lose a lot of time to it. Playing on deck and no issues at all so far.
I have been absolutely loving this game. I have lost hours with out realising while playing! Thoroughly addictive.
Gezegenler keşfeden küçük bir uzaylısınız. Kaynak toplayarak geliştirme yapıp gittikçe güçlenen yaratıklarla savaşıyorsunuz.
Tolles Spiel! Die Welten sind stimmungsvoll, die Steuerung sehr präzise und dass nach dem Update die Schwierigkeit im Spiel geändert werden kann ist super! Warum? Mir waren die Bossgegner sonst zu schwer, dazu fehlt mir der Nerv, nach 50 Versuchen verliere ich die Lust. Also spiele ich das eigentliche Spiel auf der mir passenden Stufe und schalte vor dem Levelboss auf easy, perfekt. Das ganze Spiel ist übrigens eher ruhig, für mich perfekt um am Abend etwas zu entspannen...
It is very good i love it:)
