Diggin

Diggin is one of those incremental games you launch while listening to a podcast... then suddenly it's three hours later and your wrist hurts. It's simple, relaxing, surprisingly addicting, and somehow convinced me that this was a productive use of my evening. I found myself just replaying run after run before going to the shop so I could stock up on cash, then I could buy a ton of upgrades before returning to eradicate all the layers. Game takes roughly 5-8 hours to Beat depending on session time. I'm currently only two achievements away from 100%, but I think one of them requires restarting my run. Unfortunately, I've become far too powerful to accept such actions without playing another 7 hours. [hr][/hr] [h2]Pros[/h2] • Super satisfying incremental progression. • Perfect "second monitor" game while listening to podcasts or watching YouTube. • Cute art style and relaxing atmosphere. • Constant upgrades keep the dopamine flowing. • Easy to learn and hard to stop playing. • Achievement hunting is genuinely fun. [h2] Cons[/h2] • Your wrist may file a formal complaint. • One achievement might require restarting your run, and after becoming an unstoppable mining god... that's a tough sell. • Incremental games are dangerous if you enjoy seeing numbers go up. [hr][/hr] [h2]Overall[/h2] This game absolutely knew what it was trying to be and nailed it. It's charming, relaxing, and incredibly addictive. I started playing casually and somehow ended up one of those people saying, "I'll stop after the next upgrade." Spoiler: there is always another upgrade. I'm convinced the developer secretly partnered with physical therapists because I walked away with carpal tunnel and a nearly completed achievement list. Worth it. [hr][/hr] [h3]TL;DR[/h3] Cute game. Dug hole. Number got bigger. Wrist got weaker. 100% would dig again.
