Cave Digger 2 Dig Harder

Someone will really enjoy this. Not for me.

So let me start this by saying that I DO have complaints about this game.... but I'm not going to include any of them because I have a suspicion that a fair few of the problems I have are not due to the game but due to my headset. As at the moment it is not properly checking the height. Which means that sometimes hitting stuff is difficult because of where my headset is tracking me. Or the fact that when I sit down in the game the floor is chest height. Like... it's a thing. But at the moment I DO NOT think that these are problems on the games end. In case it is though, I do recommend playing this game as soon as you get it to make sure you don't have similar issues. So putting all that aside, this is a pretty good game. If you have ever played a farming sim or Minecraft and you are literal mole spending all your time in the mines. Or if you enjoy the general game play of games like where you are spelunking and gathering materials. You'll enjoy this game. You have an area on the top end of the mines where you can sell goods and upgrade an area. Get new tools. Etc. Then you ride the elevator down to a new cave system and gather more materials to sell. While down there you might encounter enemies that you can take out with a gun. Some things will attack you melee, some are long distance, and some explode. I haven't yet encountered any big enemies. For the most part the only enemies that have managed to actually hurt me are the ones that jump scare the ♥♥♥♥ out of me when I break a barrel and it happens to contain an enemy. The fighting doesn't feel bad either to me. Admittedly I don't play many VR shooters, but I've had no issue shooting enemies or shooting barrels from a distance to avoid said enemies that have been starving in a barrel for who knows how long and therefore want to immediately eat my face upon their release. The tool belt feels good and doesn't feel finicky. Materials you pickup and place over your shoulder to put it away. Though my absolutely favorite feature of this game is the lack of needing to sort your pack. You can't look at the materieals that you gather in your backpack or anything. Instead every material you gather is stored and once your backpack is full it will automatically start dropping the least valuable things. So you don't have to worry about figuring out what is and is not worth keeping. Which is just damn lovely unless you are the kind of person that enjoys that sorting aspect. The most basic comparison I can make is that if you like those mobile games where all you do is dig, sell resources, upgrade, then dig some more, sell more resources, buy more upgrades, repeat repeat repeat. This game is like that.... but better and a bit more in depth. And I will say that even with the combat nothing feels super high stakes. The game is pretty cozy and relaxing to play. Nothing feels high stakes. The mines you go down into are randomly generated which also makes it more fun because no 2 cave systems seem to be alike (at least not that I've seen in my hour of play time). There was even one level where at the end there was a record player and I just kinda sat down and enjoyed the music it played for a bit. It was lovely. Kinda made me wish I had an in game snack to munch on and just relax for a bit. My only real complaint is how dark some areas are, but that's also kinda part of the game play. There will be torches that you can light to light up a room. It just is a bit annoying for me personally. Nothing really wrong with it. Oh and any time I break a rock and it explodes and resources go into the water.... it can be SO hard to see things in the water. But overall the game is a good and fairly polished experience (again disregarding any problems I had playing as being a product of my hardware) So if ANY of what I just explained sounds appealing to you, pick up the game. If you are unsure.... I'd say still pick up the game, but just play it about an hour or so and see if you like it. If you don't return it because if you don't like it in the first hour you probably won't like the game at all. One of my favorite chill VR games.
