✦ AI summary

Dig is a minimalist game centered on repetitive digging mechanics that some players interpret as a poignant metaphor for existential struggle and depression, while others find it to be a tedious time-waster with limited gameplay depth. Opinions are sharply divided, with some praising its artistic message and presentation as a meaningful experience, while others criticize the lack of substantive mechanics beyond the core digging action. Players who appreciate experimental, narrative-driven indie games may find value here, though those seeking traditional gameplay should approach with caution.

I thought I’d find something by digging and bring it to light, but turns out the character can’t do much else besides digging for a bit and dying.

this is a masterpiece of a game, i may only have 0.3 hours but it has been a spectacular journey so far. from what i gather the digging part and making your own grave is a deep metaphor for the main characters depression and will to live, as you go further into the game, your character weakens and digs slower. Showing the fact that your characters will to live is fading away. It might be one of the greatest games ever, with a rich story, great graphics, and amazing music. the price is also how much health your character has when you finish the game. 10/10

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
