The Bottom Line:

"Amazing"

I love adventure games, especially old school ones, the kind that didn't hold your hand and weren't afraid to attack your brain cells with puzzles that require analytical thinking, even using a pen and paper to solve some mathematical problems. The Dig is one of these games.

The Dig brings adventure gaming at it's best, the production values were really
good at the time, everything is spoken in full voice, cut scenes are beautifully animated and the story is interesting and well written. It's Hollywood A movie material. You take hold of an astronaut and it's team on a mining mission to save the Earth from a asteroid on collision course. You get transported with a part of your crew to a seemingly desolate alien world, and then trying to get back home to Earth, while uncovering the alien secrets, and some secrets are best left unknown.

If you like adventure games, you will fall in love with the Dig. Go and buy a copy today, it's a beautiful evergreen that is still, almost 20 years later a beautiful, engaging and just right amount of hard superb game.

It's a game you will play every few years or so.

This official review of this game is a travesty. It was obviously written by a frustrated person who didn't have the mental capacity for solving the game's hard but always logical puzzles. He says so himself, in the review. Yes, there is a logic solution to every single puzzle in the game, and just so if you couldn't see the logic, that doesn't mean that there isn't. It the same with the IQ test, if you can't solve a question it tells more about your intelligence than the test itself.
