Aven colony | Apr '21 | 34/48 | 34.6 | Finished (1*) + other screenshots |
Styx: Master of Shadows | Nov '16 | 15/33 | 24.7 | Finished + other screenshots |

Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts | Apr '21 | 20/40 | 24 | Finished |
Control | Mar '21 | 43\67 | 30.7 | Finished ("Take control" achievement) + ~100 screenshots |
Notes:
1) The stars to the right of the mission names indicate that the mission has been completed. The first 2 are training sessions, stars are not given for them.
2) These are the screenshots of the ending screen. I dont know why there are no achievements for them. Translation: Completed the Enlightened Monkey Path (3/3). Third one seems to be the best one.

Figment is pretty neat adventure-musical game. With a good music and unpretentious puzzles. Especially I liked Spider's song so I bought OST on discount after all. I am looking forward to Figment 2 release now.
Little Nightmares seemed to me boring at first. I had to overcome myself to go through chapter 1 and the beginning of a second one.
But by the chapter 3, I was already sucked in by runner gameplay and quite enjoyed it, especially second half of the game and the final boss fight.
Definitely I'll come back later to the game once more to play DLC chapters and even maybe try to do a speedrun achievement.
Both Frog Detective games are kind and funny short adventure-detective cases. But in my opinion the first one is a little bit better.
Now I hope the guys are making the third one. Looking forward to play it one day.
Macdows 95 is a game in which you have to read puzzles and find solutions. The game is stylized as a functioning OS.
Despite I completed all of the achievements I can't say I've enjoyed this kind of gameplay.
A Short Hike is a gem for me. I quite enjoyed this cute, adventure and exploring game. And a beachstickball! Yay.
(If you don't like pixelated graphics there is a sharpen option in preferences and the game looks smooth as silk in my case.)
So if I'm gonna rate this 6 games I've played for this event, I place 'em:

I am on it too :)
The Shapeshifting Detective - Achievements - Not bad, though the acting is a bit weird. I'll probably replay it since I got the bad ending :(
Old Man's Journey - Screnshots - I didn't enjoy it much, the story is nothing new and the puzzles are very repetitive (just moving "mountains" up and down)
11-11 Memories Retold - Achievements - I really liked this one (except for the collectibles system, which I hated)
Paratopic - Achievements - This was crap. I don't understand the positive reviews. Good thing it's really short...
The Haunted Island, a Frog Detective Game
- Achievements
Frog Detective 2: The Case of the Invisible Wizard
- Achievements - These Frog Detective games would be awesome for introducing little kids to "adventure" games.

Mini thoughts:
Simulacra 2 > Simulacra. Silly, but fun.
Frog Detective > Frog Detective 2
Styx — wonderful stealth game even if I hated it first 2 or 3 missions (because the previous Styx was soo good)
The Journey Down — very good p'n'c series with an AMAZING jazz soundtrack in the first two games. Goes to my "favorites" collection. Awesome vibes, man.
Kathy Rain — good detective p'n'c gameplay, but overall I'm not sure what to think about it.

Choice and Monthly games, not the regular bundles.
Comment has been collapsed.
As meditative pointed out, the games have to have been in a Monthly or Choice bundle. From the OP:
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.

I'm sorry but several of your picks are invalid since they were not featured in a Monthly or Choice bundle.

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 one month.
The prize: Mass Effect™ Legendary Edition
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 over 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.
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.
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 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.
Good luck, have fun and stay safe.
Thanks for reading, and don't forget to wonder in awe at the vast beauty of space.
