I had not played Dig because I don't generally love platforming, so I wouldn't have necessarily picked it up until some one recommended it on Reddit. I love XCom and similar tactical RPGs and this game did not disappoint.Visually it's fantastic, I absolutely adored all the steambots you adopt into your crew! Enemies are fun, and the world that Image and Form ties everything together flawlessly. How can you not like steampunk in space? Also the music from Steam Powered Giraffe is A+ and I can't recommend enough dipping into the bars with headphones on to enjoy tiny steam powered concerts.Gameplay is very fun and accessible, which should make it really easy for folks new to the genre to hop into. I would definitely recommend cranking up the difficulty for people who frequent tactical RPGs. I found it nice that you could adjust your difficulty settings on the fly!Honestly a great Switch title that is perfect for bite sized play sessions. Since the levels are randomly generated you won't have the exact same experience every time which really lends to its replay-ability.

SteamWorld Heist is a phenomenal addition to the Switch library. Its story might not be the most gripping of tales, but its deep and varied combat ensures that players will come back to it time and time again to test their wits and take on more challenging difficulties. Clocking in at around 15 hours, there's also quite a lot of bang for your buck to go around. It might be a spinoff and a port, but for those interested in a deep yet accessible SRPG that you can take on the go, SteamWorld Heist deserves to be on your radar.
