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.

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)

oh shi, the prize surely is tempting. I have to try

Name Month Achievements End achievement Playtime Status
Tin Can Aug 2023 10/20 Back to Earth 8.1h Beaten
Twin Mirror Jan 2024 17/24 Onwards and upwards 7.5h Beaten
A Guidebook of Babel Jun 2024 19/19 Waking Up 12.2h Completed
Volume Feb 2016 (Monthly #4 lol) 20/24 The Complete Works 7.8h Beaten
Station to Station Oct 2024 81/81 True explorer 26h Completed
Kona Aug 2018 23/35 A Mari Usque Ad Mare 7.5h Beaten

This month was almost a complete miss. Tin Can was fun to figure out, though. Station to Station was fine for a puzzle, but an easy skip overall. Kona is long overdue (the narrator's voice feels outdated), and I'm not a fan of supernatural. Twin Mirrors' mystery was disappointingly too easy. I don't even have anything to say about Volume & A Guidebook of Babel.
All in all, the best game of these 2 months is Roadwarden, which isn't on the list, lol, because I still haven't finished it (an excellent example of modern interactive fiction!).

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!

Game Bundle Achievement / Completion Proof Notes/Assessment
Brigador: Up-Armored Edition June 2017 Find Your Exit Liked it alot, thought got real tedious near the end. Still gonna get Brigador Killers. Ultimately though, I prefer SYNTHETIKas my favored isometric tactical shooter.
Demon Turf: Queens Edition March 2023 The Demon Queen Definitely gonna try 100% later, and definitely gonna get Demon Tides
FRAMED Collection September 2021 Got a light? Could have done with a quick reset button, but pretty good puzzle game nonetheless.
Serial Cleaner July 2018 Done Cleaning One of the more flawed stealth games I played
Raji: An Ancient Epic November 2022 Raji and Golu I didn't like it.
The Darkside Detective January 2019 That's A Wrap Neat point & click adventure game, reminds me of Sam & Max ( Still need to do season 2 )

Entering challenge again, thanks for organising ^0^/ <3 Really liking this challenge.
(How do I in the 2 months challenge always end up strapped for time and only starting in the second month xD whoops)

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.
The Shapeshifting Detective September 2020 Started: April 13th / Finished: April 13th The Big Sleep Eh, did not really end up liking the game much. Dragged on a bit. Was on to the right killer, but started doubting in the end and selected the wrong one. Finished the game, but got the bad ending where you fail and get killed. I think I am not cut out for detective work.
BPM: BULLETS PER MINUTE November 2021 Started: April 13th / Finished: April 13th Defeated Nidhogg + End screenshot ^0^/ Honestly loving the game. Have not really played rhythm games before, so nice to branch out and try something new. Pretty challenging, but having a blast. Really satisfying to push on and see yourself improve and get further into the dungeon. Finished it on a low difficulty as not used to these games and took me a sec to get used to it. But ended up having a good run/build going and went from only finishing the first levels to making it all the way to the end. Loved the game, really enjoyed it and might try it on a higher difficulty next.
Dropsy February 2016 Started: April 25th / Finished: April 26th The Longest Hug + End screenshot Short little decent point and click game to finish the challenge in time. Note that the game is weird with achievements popping, popped all in batches, dunno why. Game was decent, but weird and bit of a sad ending. But was decent to play.
Swapped out
Project Warlock February 2020 Started: April 16th / Finished: Not Yet Double-edged Sword Nice game so far, easy to get the hang of and fun to play. Does scale a lot in difficulty in the later levels. Fun, but a bit burned out with it so swapping it out of the challenge. Might finish it at some point outside of the challenge.

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.
Besiege / Started on March 7th / Finished✔ on April 11th Conqueror (Complete the Campaign). 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. After Playing: I was solving campaign 1-3 missions at a time! Pretty chill and engaging. Probably didn't use even the half of all available parts, cause the same OSHA violation machine of my design was doing as much damage as any battle mecha that true masters of the game were able to create.
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! But 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 appreciate. 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).
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. After playing: Nerve-wrecking as heck!
Dordogne / Started on April 29th / progress. Before playing: Looks nice and unoffensive, probably full of life confirming platitudes. Well, sometimes you need that.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance / Started on March 6th / ABORTED🚫 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. Not Playing: I just can't get over my skepticism. I boot Kingdom Come and at once get hit with premonition of meaningless little dramas of hodgepodge side quests. Badly masqueraded grind is what I'm not feeling doing this month. And maybe Kingdom Come is not this at all - I played only 7h (too little for such games to make correct judgements) - I promise to give it another try later, out of CJ's event.
