More endless copy pasta.

Hello and welcome to the madness!
The challenge is simple: Play and beat any 6 games, starting today, that have been featured in any given Humble Monthly/Choice bundle in two months.

The prize: 2x Metaphor: ReFantazio
Note: This means I'm giving away two copies of the game and will have 2 winners.

Game length does not matter and I'm not looking for 100% achievement runs. So long as you play and beat 6 games, I'm happy. You can go easy mode and play a bunch of 1h games or go crazy and play 6 +30h games. So long as they were in a monthly at a given point, it is all good.

Just post a comment with either screenshots/ achievements showing that you fulfilled the criteria and I'll add you on Steam and give you the link. Feel free to share your thoughts on the games you've played, but it is not required.

FAQ:

Why you doing this?

I hate money. That and I realized I've been subbed to the monthly for over nine years (yes it has been that long, I checked) and it occurred to me that I've barely touched the games I've gotten from it, let alone played them. Figured the same would be true for a few others, so I figured this is a good way to change that. A sensible person would probably unsub in this situation, but please refer to the beginning as to why that will not happen.

I've played the first X minutes of a game, can I pick it for the event?

No. You cannot have any play time or achievements prior to the start of the event. The only exception is idle time from farming Steam cards.

Can I play a MP only game?

No. It needs to have an "end" in order for me to count it as beaten, so it needs to have a campaign/story mode.

If a game was sold as a non-Steam copy in a bundle (origin/uplay/drm-free/etc), can I pick it as a choice if I own a Steam copy?

No. The reason being that those who own a Steam copy would have an extra option that would not be available to everyone who bought the same bundle. If the game was originally sold as a non-Steam copy, but Humble later provided steam keys to everyone who bought the bundle, then the game would be allowed.

Why six games?

The first few monthlies had 6/7 games in them so I went with that.

How long are you going to do this?

Until my credit card statements gives me nightmares.

This event "ends" on May 6th when the next next HB Choice releases, though the giveaway itself will end the day after. If you manage to finish game number six in between that time, feel free to post, but know that I cannot guarantee that I'll be able to give you the link in time.

Good luck, have fun and stay safe.
Thanks for reading, and don't forget to smack them down!

Not done, but asking now so you have time to answer: what would you consider the end of Shapez? Seems levels are generated randomly after lvl 26.

The achievement 'Freedom" is enough for the game to qualify for the event.

Done.
Glad I discovered this event when I did. I was thinking of starting a Satisfactory playthough and if I took to the game, I probably would've been out for a while! Getting through Figment was the only low point of taking part in this one.

Yooo Metaphor! I'm so in. There is one game which defo will play matching delevoper theme, especially as there is 2 months cycle during which can afford for much longer game - Persona 5 Strikers. Really enjoyed main game, so hope spin off will live up to expectations.

I'd love to participate, and a reason to clean my backlog. I'm not sure if one of them has a proper campaign, so it may change.
Edit: It did change, but because campaign will take way longer that I can afford right now and the game was exhausting to play.(Cook,Serve,Delicious 3)

I've been following your posts for a while, but since I don't understand English very well, I've been avoiding these events.
However, when I saw the prize this time, I realized that I should improve my understanding of English!
So, I'll do my best!

Entering challenge again, thanks for organising ^0^/ <3 Really liking this challenge.

Game/Bundle Status Proof Comments
Lightmatter October 2020 Started: April 5th / Finished: April 6th See you on the other side! I like puzzel games. Enjoyed the game and loved the environment and the graphics. Pretty neat game. Also all of the portal references were a really nice touch.
Size matters May 2021 Started: April 6th / Finished: April 6th 100% achievements Been accepted in the past with 100% achievements, not sure if 100% is needed or if there is a qualifying achievement. Finished it with 100% to be sure. Okay ish little game. Had decent fun with getting the achievements.
The Invincible December 2024 Started: April 9th / Finished: April 10th The End Decent game so far. Controls for dialogue are a bit finicky though and I have selected the wrong thing a few times because of it. Visuals for climbing over obstacles are making me a bit disoriented. Graphics were nice though and story was fine. Decent walking sim and liked the game.

Game Status Impressions
BPM: BULLETS PER MINUTE / Started on March 7th / Finished✔ on March 8th Defeated Nidhogg (Final Boss achievement). Before playing: Rythm-Doom - hell yeah, uhn tuss uhn tiss! After playing: Not sure that the main feature (shooting to beat) really works! But that it's "The Binding of Isaac" in FPS form really helped me enjoy the game. The visuals were hard on my eyes though.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance / Started on March 6th / progress. Before playing: Very wary about this game! "Immersive Open World RPGs" are hit or miss with me, cause I'm one of those "fun optimizators" gamers, and this doesn't always mesh with "enjoy your ride" (usually literally) structure of these games. Playing: Lately, I mean in life, I find it harder to "role-play"...
Darkwood / I have 1min playtime by accident / Started on April 1st progress. Before playing: I actually was planning to play Darkwood for Halloween in October event, but I chickened out lol. Playing: Nerve-wrecking as heck!
Besiege / Started on March 7th / progress. Before playing: Just found out that Besiege has a campaign! Thank god! I always wanted to try this game, but "sandbox" and "simulation" tags is just another way of saying "time blackhole". With a campaign it will be more structured time spending. Playing: "Solving" campaign 1-3 missions at a time! Pretty chill and engaging.
Saints Row IV / Started on March 18th / Finished✔ on March 28th Screenshot of congratulation for beating the game (Final mission achievement "Imperator" simply didn't pop!). Before playing: I was avoiding Saints Row games and they were avoiding me (even now you can play "Saints row 1" only through xbox emulator - whaa?). I guess, the general unashamed buffoonery of these games seemed too forceful for me. They were too sure of themselves that I would like them! And I, a little nonconformist, was too afraid that they were right! After Playing: First of all I couldn't finish some secondary quests due to gamebreaking bugs. I found threads of people having the same problems in 2013 but no working solutions (and I tried many). It's the first one for me! To this day I was lucky and internet always solved my problems! Okey, putting this aside, I didn't mind "Saints Row 4"! But I was not prepared that the 4th part is a big conclusion to the whole Saints Row series. In hindsight - duuuh! I just didn't expect that much of continuation and fan service that I noticed but, of course, didn't really get. Even the whole "superpowers" gameplay was the logical "next step" for the series that, I suppose, was getting crazier with each installment.
!! Sifu / Started on March 14th / Finished✔ on March 17th Legendary Talismans of Wuxing (True ending achievement). Before playing: I know, it's a difficult game, but I hope it's "rewiring your brain" difficulty, and not "myelination of neurons through excessive repetition". After playing: Masterfully designed in all dimensions that are converging into one of the most satisfying combat I've ever experienced! Mmm.... I guess, not too friendly to novices in reaction-rhythm gameplay hence some complaints about the difficulty! But for me it was right in that sweetest spot of "fun challenging" (all those beaten soulsborne games are paying off).
