Currently, the availability of cooperative games has grown significantly, allowing groups of up to four or more players to collaborate in a single game. A recent example of this trend is Keep Digging, a game developed by DoubleBee that invites players to explore and dig for treasures, with the possibility of playing with up to eight friends.
Nothing brings people together like digging a hole among eight people
Keep Digging is based on the concept of A Game About Digging A Hole, taking it to the next level by allowing a larger number of players to immerse themselves in the mining experience. Using basic tools like shovels and pickaxes, players can unearth valuable minerals and treasures, which can then be sold for more advanced equipment. The variety of biomes, ranging from abandoned mines with dinosaur fossils to crumbling temples, adds an additional appeal to the game.
The game also offers avatar customization, allowing players to modify the appearance of their characters and choose from various outfits. Additionally, it includes NPCs that continue to dig autonomously when players are offline, providing a practical touch for those who cannot play immediately. With a price of only €4.99 and a 10% launch discount, Keep Digging presents itself as an accessible option for players looking for casual gaming experiences.
Despite its appeal, some critics have pointed out that, like many current cooperative games, Keep Digging may lack depth in its content. However, its sense of humor, reflected in elements like emotes that even allow for comedic interaction between players, gives it a fun atmosphere. Thus, Keep Digging promises to entertain those who want to dig a big hole with friends without ruining their garden, at least until another cooperative digging simulator bursts onto Steam.
