Metroidvania fit: High Fit. Way more open than its predecessor, making it a ''true'' Metriodvania, except the part where you'll be mining

Metroidvania Breakdown
Combat is pretty basic, but it's also basically just a footnote to the game's main attractions
There are both self-manufactured and intentionally implemented platforming challenges, the latter of which are very well designed
While you constantly have a guide, the world is fairly open and you can tackle quite a few goals out of order.
Puzzle rooms are some of the game's best highlights, being as rewarding to complete as the rewards they contain
Continues the world and lore of SteamWorld nicely, while still being accessible to any player.
Characters look memorable, and the hand-drawn art is pleasant
The tunes are catchy and really set the mood
Having a lot of choice on how you upgrade your character allows you to differentiate playthroughs in ways other than self-imposed challenges.,
