What is Super Motherload?
In this mining adventure set on alternate Cold War-era Mars, you dig for resources, solve puzzles with explosives, and buy upgrades for your mining pod. You work for a corporation supplying Earth, but the assignment takes an unexpected turn. The world changes each playthrough, and up to four players can dig together locally.

- +you enjoy digging for resources and upgrading your equipment
- +you want to mine with friends on one screen

Not for you if...
- −you want online co-op instead of local play
- −you prefer mining without puzzles or a boss fight
What players say
76% of 950 reviews are positive
Players praise the mining progression, local co-op, and included Motherload Goldium Edition, though some prefer the original to this sequel. They also report crashes and freezes, unclear upgrades, and the shared-screen restriction in co-op.
