Didn't find just 1, not even 2, but an entirety of 3 games on Steam today that I want to try. That's an absurd amount for one day...

First off, something by the name of Hunger Dungeon. It advertises itself as a MOBA, and while I can already feel the "oh god, not another one" sensation coming up, it's free (to play), and the reviews aren't half bad. So while I don't expect much, I'll be giving it a try in possibly the near future.

Next up - Endless Space 2. In name, it's a sequel to Endless Space, but as far as I know, it'd be more accurate to say it's a sequel to Endless Legend, which is currently my favorite TBS out there. So while it's still in Early Access, I've already heard good things about it, and will definitely be giving it a try at some point.

Finally, Shenzhen I/O is another Puzzle game from Zachtronics, which, I dare say, makes the best Puzzle games out there. I've played nearly every one of their games since they were still making free Flash games, and I'm not going to miss this one either. It looks to be more on the programming side this time, possibly something along the lines of TIS-100. It's also in Early Access, so I'll give it time to get ready before playing.

Spent the rest of the morning playing Dungeons of Dredmor, inching ever closer to getting all the achievements. This of course calls for funny builds. I needed Unarmed Mastery, and, well... obviously the only route is to have a shield. In both hands. Couple that with Shield Mastery and Armor Mastery for nigh 0 damage, Berserk for more damage, and add Sneaking, Burglary, and Assassination to the mix to be the stealthiest raging tin-can alive. It's oddly efficient, and I'm getting 4 skill tree achievements completed.

Hunger Dungeon turned out to be terrible in the sense that it has like 5 players online, which basically means no multiplayer. 60% of the characters are locked, and it's not actually good in any way either. So that was an instant delete, same as most previously unknown free games.
