Cave Digger
SCORE: 77
I am very appreciative Family Friendly
Gaming was given a digital download code for Cave Digger on the PS4. The
version of Cave Digger I played is for non-VR. There is a VR version of
Cave Digger as well. I can see how this game would have worked really
well in virtual reality (VR). Cave Digger is a blast to play. I do have
a few things that would have made the game better for families in my
opinion. More on that in this review.
The whole drug element could have been left out of Cave Digger and it
would have been such a better game for families. I also would have liked
a non-timed mode personally. Let us explore the cave walls and find
everything if we want a more casual pace. Or double the timer for more
casual gamers. I got to the first town when I finally figured out to get
the gems and put them in the box. I expect VR did that with a separate
hand.
The concept in Cave Digger is fantastic. We go down a mine and use the
pickaxe on the walls. We find gems in those walls. Then we take the gems
and put them in the middle box. If we do not get the gems in the box
before the timer runs out we lose them. There is a balance between
mining, picking up valuable rocks and putting them in the box. If you
mine gold and diamonds but do not put them in the box then you lose
them. Maybe a mode where whatever we get on the floor stays there or
instantly counts toward our total? That would be a pretty cool mode.
Cave Digger contains multiple endings which will have players going back
through Cave Digger. The download size for Cave Digger is 1.2 gigs on
the Playstation 4. There are no physical copy versions of Cave Digger in
the United States to my knowledge at this time. I think this game would
be a perfect candidate for a physical copy version. Especially if the VR
and non VR modes were included. Like how Ace Combat 7 was done.
Getting to the towns in Cave Digger is pretty cool. I enjoyed moving
around and checking those areas out. We can purchase better gear and
find some items that will add to the money our player currently has.
Mining these walls and looking for treasure is a really fun activity.
There can be some commentary that tries to be humorous that might offend
some people. I hope to see more games like Cave Digger in the future.
