I've been playing a lot of SteamWorld Dig 2 this past weekend. I've expired my Switch battery at least once sitting by my wife (who's also playing it on PS4) just taking it in, and now I'm going for a full completion. The thing is, it's not tedious in the slightest.
In the early days of adventure games, you needed to pixel hunt, and in some cases, basically just guess what "100%" completion entailed. Eventually more detailed maps were added, as were percentage counters, and incentives to actually reach that Herculean task (see: Castlevania: Symphony of the Night).
But it's gotten better in the past decade or so. Now there's plenty of tools at your disposal to ensure that you haven't missed anything -- radar-esque items that help you inch up from say 90 to 100%. Now not every game needs that, but the way SteamWorld Dig 2 does it is appreciated.
