The nomination process took place from November 23–29, 2016. Game nomination and voting periods are concurrent with Steam's annual autumn and winter holiday sales, centered around the holidays of Thanksgiving and Christmas. Following this, Valve announces the winners. These nominations are then presented to Steam users, giving them the opportunity to vote in each category. Valve subsequently reviews the nominations and then selects the top five games for final voting. In the first phase, Valve selects a number of categories, atypical of those used in gaming awards, and allows any registered Steam user to select one game available on Steam for that category. The Steam Awards are selected in two phases. Introduced in 2016, game nomination and voting periods are concurrent with Steam's annual autumn and winter holiday sales, centered around the holidays of Thanksgiving and Christmas. The Steam Awards are an annual user-voted award event for video games published on Valve's Steam service. They just come on one trip, die, and come back to life for the next run with the same name.Not to be confused with Streamy Awards or The Streamer Awards. I just didn’t connect with any of these heroes, because they didn’t come with me on multiple runs, taking time off to drink between dungeons, and gradually becoming stronger. Technically they have unique quirks each run, but I wasn’t always clear on what effect they had, and I couldn’t assign heroes with certain fears to keep them away from those monsters because there’s no assigning heroes anymore. The character management from the first game is gone.

The UI for inventory and maps overlays on the carriage, and it’s way too cramped and irritating. You’ll need to decide which routes are best given your often imperfect knowledge of what lies on each route, but the actual carriage driving is a snooze. You can crash into debris to occasionally get an item, but for the most part, it’s a more sluggish version of a typical roguelike map. You move from battle to battle via a steerable carriage, but it barely matters.
