Copy pasta of a copy pasta of a copy pasta of a copy pasta of a copy pasta since I'm just that lazy :D.

Hello hello and welcome all 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 one month.

The prize: Horizon Zero Dawn™ Complete Edition
Hopefully they'll patch it before this gib ends :/

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 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 nearly five 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.

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 September 4th when the next HB Choice releases, though the giveaway itself will end the next day. 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. It may be hard to believe, but I don't live here. I am a real human living in a human home doing human things and in no way an alien invading learning all your weakeness.

Good luck, have fun and stay safe.
Thanks for reading, and don't forget to give the man a bit of candy.

No.

Do I have to start from the beginning?

Yes.

Essentially, if you already have some achievements or play time, then the game no longer qualifies for the event. The only exception would be if the play time was due to idling for cards.

NB: Grim Fandango Remastered had a lot of idle time – like about 16 or 17 hrs – since the version of Idle Master I used at the time seemed to take ages to idle games (something to do with idling them concurrently, I think)

Almost didn't make it this time. Almost :P

1 A Case of Distrust - achievements

Short, stylish noir gem. Dialogues are witty with a melancholic undertones (as they should be). Still, I was chuckling many times during my playthrough. I'd happily play the sequel, fingers crossed for it to happen :)

2 Aviary Attorney - screenshots

Point and click courtroom drama. Undoubtedly inspired by Ace Attorney, but there are a few caveats here. Firstly, it is set in days before February Revolution in France and secondly, the characters are anthropomorphic animals (derived from the works of XIX century french caricaturist). It was a pretty enjoyable experience as the setting is unique and I liked the characters and somewhat goofy jokes. It's a shame the game is so short and I don't think there's even a slightest chance for a sequel.

I posted the link to the screenshots on imgur cause the steam overlay doesnt' work in game and I don't know how to upload the screenshots on steam manually.

3 Hitman (2016) - achievements

There's no way around it - Hitman is a fantastic game. It's a proper sandbox, you have your mission and tools. Rest is up to you. I finished the game but I only scratched the surface. There are only a few levels (6?) but they're huge and are filled with different opportunities to carry out the assassinations. I'm really happy the series got back on its feet after mediocre Hitman: Absoluition.

4 Hard Reset Redux - achievements

Passable horde shooter with awful story and protagonist who REALLY likes to say 'f*ck'. I wouldn't recommend it, it's not on the level of, say, Serious Sam 1. Thankfully the devs made some better games like the Shadow Warrior titles.

5 Hiveswap Act 1 - achievements

As you probably now right now I like point n click adventures. I liked Hiveswap, but it's just one episode (I don't think it's even half of the game) so it's hard to recommend it to someone. Nevertheless I'll gladly play the second act (and hopefully more).

6 Titan Souls - achievements

I was running out of time so I was searching for a game I can finish in a few hours. I picked Titan Souls and I probably could have chosen something else. It's not a bad game per se, but it is tough and frustrating. You have bow with one arrow and you can dodge-roll out of the way of enemy attacks. One hit and you're dead. There's ~15 unique bosses to defeat and that's it. No story, just a pure challenging boss rush. I'm sure that many people will find this appealing.
