Steam Library A-Z Challenge

The challenge: To play through each of the games on my Steam library. The rules: I have to play at least 1 hour of each game, in alphabetical order. I just cannot play horror games. I wasn't super worried about having to play any scary games during this challenge, as I'm the wimpiest person in the world when it comes to terror so I never buy them. So why is this game on my Steam list!? Eldritch is a first person exploration game, set over a few worlds inspired by the Lovecraft Mythos. You start off in a creepy library and progress to a creepy temple and then a creepy temple. There's definitely more levels than that but that's as far as I got. I'd be annoyed too if some rando came through a magic book and took all my artifacts The aim of the game is to find your way to the exit of each level, and when you've cleared enough levels you'll find the soul of an elder god, which enables you to unlock the next area. Of course there are all manner of ...

East India Company is an innovative and excitin......no, actually it's another Paradox map game. But read on, because I actually almost liked this one. Set during olde worlde times, this is another game about how awesome conquest and exploitation is (ugh). This is a problem with an awful lot of these types of game, so I thought I'd get this big negative out of the way first. It just feels gross to be gleefully conquering ports like this game encourages you to - in fact to beat the game you *have* to do so as it's part of the main campaign's objectives. Obligatory map screen shot Anyway, East India Company is a naval-based 4X game, and is an awful lot like Commander: Conquest of the Americas. Which makes sense as it's by the same people and is almost certainly using the same engine. There are some differ...

Made by Amplitude Studios, Dungeon of the Endless is another entry into their seemingly....endless...Endless games. I think I'm going to be unable to look at the word endless for a while after this. You play as crew members of a spaceship which has crash landed on a strange and hostile creature-infested planet. Your goal is to get your big yellow diamond from one end of the dungeon to another. Sounds pretty par-for-the-course but Dungeon of the Endless is one of the more unique games I've seen whilst doing my Steam challenge. This is like 1/3 the enemies you'll normally see The game is somewhere between a rogue-like and a tower defense game - in the first half of each floor you'll be exploring a dungeon, discovering equipment, leveling up your characters and researching new tech. You'll also be discover...
