SteamWorld Heist II innovates on what made SteamWorld Heist 1 great, with some stumbling around its open-world design.

SteamWorld's most ambitious entry yet is packed with satisfying strategy, but it's a little too expansive for its own good.

There are few companies that are known to deliver a good game. But one of them is certainly the Swedish studio Image & Form, which has been treating us to productions from its original world of humor and steam for years. SteamWorld Heist 2 confirms this rule.

SteamWorld Heist 2 is set to be a great new entry for dedicated SteamWorld fans and a great jumping-on-point for newcomers and strategy fans alike.

There's always something enjoyable about a wonderful swashbuckling adventure. Can Thunderful Games' SteamWorld Heist II stand up to the deepest ocean depths or does it crash against the reef?

SteamWorld Heist 2 is an interesting return to a style Thunderful hasn’t re-explored in years, and it’s a decently polished one at that. The multi-job character progress and new upgrades to sea travel make for an improved approach to new and varied challenges throughout the game. The upgrades aren’t watertight against the issues that poked holes in the first game such as inconvenient travel and grinding. That said, if you’re looking for a solid tactical strategy game, SteamWorld Heist 2 is a charming voyage that should provide plenty of good times to fans of the SteamWorld universe.

Despite SteamWorld Heist II's shortcomings, it's a fun and polished game. It does, however, suffer from repetition and lack of depth, so it feels like you've seen all it has to offer after a few hours.

The core of SteamWorld Heist still burns brightly in this turn-based tactics sequel, but its bid to go bigger and better is a risk that hasn't quite paid off.
