Pizza Fria
SteamWorld Heist II reviewed by Pizza Fria
Review SteamWorld Heist II by Pizza Fria
Another excellent SteamWorld adventure
Strategic battles with the player agency: aiming, calculating, shooting!
Beautiful iconic visuals and excellent soundtrack.
More than 20 hours of gameplay; over 30 to complete everything!
Completely and very well translated into Brazilian Portuguese.
The ocean is an improvement over constellations, but it has unintuitive navigation.

Fantastic ambience and aesthetic. Straightforward gameplay with plenty of depth. Awesome buildcrafting.
Controls can be a bit clunky. Exploration is in dire need of a minimap.

Now the action takes place at sea.
Gameplay that hooks you
He has a lot to offer and to replay
Characters with a lot of humor and charisma
Tactics and RPG dyes brilliantly applied
The story can take a back seat
That you do not want to take advantage of all that he has to offer us

Well-structured and fun gameplay in the long term
I share an artistic charisma, as well as a musical charisma.
Excellent management of difficulty and playable units

Good balance between turn-based combat and exploration.
Many, many, many secrets, unlockable objects and weapons.
Cyclical and repetitive process
Conservatively discreet
