Awesome Games Only [Ended]

Open

Hey all, its your local Zoidberg again and it is time to make the bank regret their decision on giving me credit :D.

The challenge is simple: Play and beat 5 out of the top 24 games (according to Steam reviews), starting today, that you currently own in one month.

The prize: 5x Hades
Note: This means I'm giving away five copies of the game and will have 5 winners.

Game length does not matter and I'm not looking for 100% achievement runs. So long as you play and beat 5 games, I'm happy. You can go easy mode and play a bunch of 1h games or go crazy and play 5 +30h games. So long as they are one of your top games, we are good. Also, price of the game does not matter. If the game is free, that is okay.

How to enter: Post a comment with a screenshot showing your steam library sorted by "Steam Review" (example below - Picture 1). Also include 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:

What if have already played most or all of my top games?

First, congrats! :D
Second, screw you, you show off -.- jealous
Third, scroll down a row and take two screenshots. One showing the original top games in your library. The second showing the new row of games which include the ones you played for this event. (Example below - Picture 2)

How far down can I scroll? Can I scroll indefinitely? :D

-.-

I'm allowing 3 extra rows of games. That is 8 per row or 24 extra games for a total of 48. If you are still unable to find 5 games within that group, you can keep scrolling down with the condition that you have no more than 10 games to choose from. I.e. You can only go pass your top 48 if you have already played at least 38 your top games. Next three rows would put you at 72; you need to play at least 62 before going to the next 24 and so and so forth.

What about that other event "Monthly in a month"? Can one game count for both events?

I was on the fence about this one but the answer is yes. If you play a game that satisfies the conditions of this event and the other event (either the one that is currently running and the next edition which starts on Friday), then it can be applied to both. Just keep in mind that the other event doesn't start until the new HB Choice/Monthly launches, so if you play a game now with the intention of having it apply to both, you need to wait till after HB releases the new bundle on Friday. Otherwise, you could only apply it to the edition which is about to end this weekend.*

I want you guys to have fun. I don't need you guys to hate me for making you play 11 games this month. :p

Why 5/24?

24 since it is the most I could fit in a screenshot by putting the steam client on full screen. 5 seemed like a decent target.

Event ends on Jan 1st, 10pm EST. For all that is holy, do not wait till the last minute to submit your entry. I do not need to spend New Year's Day refreshing the thread to make sure I got everyone.

Good luck, have fun and stay safe.

P.S. Feel free to comment below your thoughts about the event and your answer to the poll.

How to sort by "Steam Review":

Go to Library > Home on the steam client
Either make a new shelf (by clicking "Add Shelf") or scroll down to the one at the bottom which should be set for "All Games". If making a new shelf, click in the dropdown arrow beside "Choose A Shelf" and select "All Games"
Besides "All Games", you should see "Sort By" and a drop down which will default to "Alphabetical". Click on the drop down and at the very bottom, you will see "Steam Review". Click it and it will sort by review (Highest to lowest) and show you the score.

Should this event be a regular thing?

Yes

Don't care since only nerds play video games.

I didn't know how to put rows of 8 games (I could only manage to put rows of 7 or 9 games), so I took 2 screenshot of 3 rows of 9 games, but I will only be counting the first 48 games for my first selection (and, anyways, I already played the games 49-56 that got on the screenshot). Here they go (the ones I already played are marked with the crosses).

Bot Vice beaten: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198415650031/stats/appid/491040/achievements
Escape Goat 2 beaten: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2314693865 (no achievement for finishing the game)
Detention beaten: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198415650031/stats/appid/555220/achievements ("Back to School" is the achievement for the good ending, "Everyone Loves You" the one for the bad ending).
The Coma 2: Vicious Sisters beaten: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198415650031/stats/appid/1045720/achievements
Darkwood beaten: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198415650031/stats/appid/274520/achievements (Bliss is the achievement for finishing the epilogue).

A really great and fun event. Overall, I like this more than the monthly bundle one, because, while on that one you need to own some specific games, over here the only requirement is to actually have games unplayed, And you have to play games between the top-rated... why would I complain? (Maybe because some of them take a really high amount of hours, so it could be hard to finish 5, but it shouldn't be hard to mix long and short games).
And thank you for proposing this. Thanks to you, I ended up playing some really good games that I hadn't even touched. I particularly liked Detention and Darkwood (despite all the suffering and frustration sometimes).

I would really liked if this continues during the next months. I hope you do so.
Thanks again.
