Super Mining Mechs (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)
Earth’s resources have been nearly depleted in the future, so now you must go and deplete other planets’ resources in Super Mining Mechs. It’s kind of a sequel/updated version of a game I reviewed about a year ago. Use a robot drill to search for treasure underground in 2D space. It kind of reminds me of Steamworld Dig mixed with a bit of Terraria and Dig Dug. Super Mining Mechs is available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
Spindle (Switch, PC)
In Spindle you play as the newly appointed Grim Reaper. But you soon discover that the souls of the nearly departed aren’t where they’re supposed to be, and a mysterious black substance has been appearing, making animals and monsters more aggressive. So it’s up to you and your faithful talking pig to figure out what’s going on. This game plays a lot like a 2D Zelda title. Attack enemies with your sickle and solve puzzles in dungeons to regain your powers so you can explore more areas. Spindle is available on Switch and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.
