Strategy Sequel SteamWorld Heist 2 Sets Sail on PS5, PS4 This August

This is not the “one more announcement” I was hoping for.

Very nice. I loved the first one, though played it on the switch. Am I allowed to say that here? Checks for rocks

first one was kinda relaxing for me; I don't know why. I loved it.

Loved the first one a ton so I’ll be there day one but idk how I feel about going from space to the sea

Yes! Absolutely love this series and especially Heist

@Sequel

I love to hear about others' gaming habits. I want to throw rocks at those who come here and brag about DAY ONE on game pass or already played it on game pass like it's some sort of Gotcha for us lowly PS fans. But Nintendo is the GOAT and the Switch is the best console they have ever made and nobody will convince me otherwise.

Easily my favourite of the Steamworld games. The first one was great on the vita. Would like to see them add a bit more depth to the game but I'm sure it will be much fun regardless.

This was a good Nintendo Direct for PlayStation 🤣

Also can’t wait for Heist 2!

@LieutenantFatman yeah it looks as if there’s at least a bit more depth on the map being able to sink other boats etc…?

PushSquare should start live streaming all of the Directs, well ok maybe not Pokemon, since you keep getting so much gaming news out of it. Think I've seen 3 today and the last Partner Direct had like 5.😂

Great game series, I’ll wait the 8 months to be put on Plus.

Let's go. I'm all for this yes please. Sad can't use it on another dual screen system but oh well.

I hadn't seen the Indie showcase yet (I don't mind the articles if I miss them it aired when I wasn't able to see it and looking through them can be annoying so reading what I want is better) so I'll look on Nintendo Life soon after reading the rest of the Push Square articles and Pure Xbox and so on sites I visit.

Yes please. While not something I have replayed much I enjoyed it and it's DLC (well with the physical copy on Wii U). I am not into western tactics/turn based games the exploration/combat kind of annoys me in them so while JTactics games are just boards and menus and a hub or so I actually prefer them.

Wargroove is fine but it's tedium while a strength based on the tasks you do can also be annoying. While with Valkyria Chronicles I don't mind it as much because like Wargroove and unlike Diofifled Chronicles I actually feel like the tasks/level design is actually testing me. Diofield was the most repetitive after Chapter 4.

Dig and the others are fine but I just didn't get into Dig because to me I kept going where am I supposed to go more than the few Metroidvanias I'd played. I just got lost. I have gotten further in it to the more metal areas but in the beginning I was just lost after 2-3 attempts of restarting Dig.

But while I'm not a big RPG type person (if I get the right ones I enjoy them) if I find the right game with the right combat I'm good and I played it before or around the time I got into Disgaea so my early tactics period.

Any good tactics games or particular angle of turn based combat like Conception Plus offered the different sides to face an enemy which is why I preferred it to typical turn based JRPGs as while played those I just get bored jumping through menus it just isn't fun and with how often they appeal let alone the story they just make me drop off.

I really enjoyed Heist and beat it before I had more attempts at Dig 1, the story was fair the combat was really interesting and compelling strategy.

Loved the first game on my PS Vita (remember that one?). I'm definitely getting this somewhere down the line.

Really glad to see that Steam Powered Giraffe is back to provide the game's music, their music was excellent in the first game.

I've been hoping for this one since they teased a new game which ended up being Steamworld Quest. I'll need to revisit the first Heist before this one comes out
