Is it still worth playing?

Image & Form's 2017 Metroidvania, the direct sequel to SteamWorld Dig, in which Dorothy, a steam powered robot, travels to El Machino to find Rusty, who disappeared at the end of the first game. You dig downward through a large underground mine, fighting enemies and collecting resources, which you trade for cash in a hub world. Cash buys upgrades to health, weapons and abilities, and new tools include pressure bombs, a hookshot and a pneumatic arm that breaks rock. Upgrade Cogs, found in secret areas, activate perks for weapons, and upgrade blueprints come from leveling up by defeating enemies or completing quests, or from artifacts hidden in the mines. Digging down for resources and coming back to spend them makes every trip a loop of risk and reward today, with a choice of how far to go each time.
