Today on GOG we get:
* Hammerting
https://www.gog.com/en/game/hammerting
Sort of a cross between "Dwarf Fortress",
"Minecraft" and "SimCity", this game has you
managing an underground dwarven settlement. It's
not quite as deep as any of those, but makes up
for it with a sense of humor. Unfortunately, it
was released in an unfinished state, and much of
its potential is unrealized, let down by poor UI
and QOL. Had the developers stuck with it, the
game might have been a classic; now it's just a
bunch of interesting ideas that you wish might
have been better implemented.
Still, it's not a TERRIBLE game, and it IS free, so that's two things
in its favor. You have GOG's usual 3-day time-limit to claim this one
before they start asking for money for it again.
3 things as it's on GOG, opposite of a strike out? A triple?
Anyway, I picked it up. Thanks Spalls. I might actually try it, though I tried I couldn't get into Dwarf Fortress, so perhaps I won't.
