Nintendo Switch Critic Reviews

Dig Dog is a pleasing game. The gameplay is quick but fun and increasingly challenging. This is a mindless game to play when you’re looking for something relaxing or don’t want to commit to a heavy story.

Dig Dog is effective in how straightforward it is. You’re a dog. You dig. Go get those bones and survive. Part of me wishes the experience were smoother and more polished, but I also appreciate how raw Dig Dog feels.

While the creation of Dig Dog is a true underdog tale, the game stands on its own four feet - wagging tail and all. It’s highly accessible to players of all skill ranges, but offers a challenging sandbox to play in. Overall, if you are looking for a classic arcade-style digger with a fun ambiance, Dig Dog is a very, very good boy.

It’s far from perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but for what it is there’s definitely plenty of addictive gameplay here if your willing to put the effort in.

If you're the kind of gamer who enjoys getting high scores in unique arcade experiences then you should give Dig Dog a try.
