Copoka achievements are a bit buggy, it seems, and the one for finishing chapter 3 didn't unlock, so I also provide a screenshot of the ending.

Phew! Barely made it!
Thanks for giving me the excuse to bust some items off my massive backlog.

1) Getting Over It. This is what actually inspired me to take part, even though I only noticed the thread late so had a fairly narrow window to complete the games in. I figured if THIS was a game I cleared in the event window, then I might as well keep the ball rolling. A lot of people get angry at this game but I just found it strangely meditative, and whenever I messed up bad I either chuckled or rolled my eyes. That cliff-face above the orange can bite my entire ass though, haha. Got a lot easier once you realise the option to disable mouse smoothing is disguised in the options menu as 'trackpad optimisation'. Lets you move properly.

2) Moon Hunters. (The achievements you're looking for are 'Forgiveness' and 'Final Victory', two different major endings). This one was so low on my backlog I don't think I would have ever dug it out. Not much to speak of gameplay-wise, but replaying the loop of time to establish various heroes as your own personal pantheon was kind of interesting. Sadly it feels somewhat random, as the game judges also the heroes by how people see and remember them as much as what you thought of them and the choices you made, with results that feel kind of random as a result. Still, personal pantheon, nice-u.

3) Sonic Mania. Oof. I thought I'd really like this one, but that may have been nostalgia goggles making me forget the nature of sonic games. It's either a rollercoaster where you have little to no control (except to randomly mess it up because you're not psychic as to when it wants your inputs or not), or it's a blind maze-like section of random wandering until you hit the next mini rollercoaster. I mean, it's thematically great, and a lot of passion obviously went into this game, but it just doesn't really hold up as a game now that design standards have moved on, y'know? They did great things here, but it really just isn't for me. Still slogged through and had experienced the boss frustrations and underwater dread. If I could send this back through time to young me, they would be ecstatic, haha.

4) A Short Hike. I adored this. I expected a cheap and cheerful distraction but honestly? This is my entire jam. It's like they made some kinda hybrid out of the world of Animal Crossing, the cast of Night In The Woods, and the objective / skill progression of Celeste.

5) Kero Blater. I kept meaning to play this, because it's from the same person who made Cave Story, and also has a free side-game about one of the supporting cast too. It's super simple but has a certain difficulty curve to it. Low key sense of humour and actually pretty chill to play. I don't think I have the stomach to try for the New Game+ hardmode though, even if it seems it has an alternative story undercurrent on that one.

6) Road Redemption. A better game than I expected, and was left low on the backlog. Didn't expect the slight roguelite element. Gets a little samey later on though but a solid game.

(bonus)
7) Dead Rising 4. I started a new game for the third time, and actually played it through to the end. I tried playing it when it first got bundled, but despite the specs, 16gb of RAM really is required for it to not choke to death on micro-stutters. I tried just before christmas but once again couldn't get into it, and was swallowed by some harsh family-related drama. Decided to do a clean sweep for this event of yours, but then realised after confirming my playthrough of Phantom Doctrine doesn't count, that this one probably wouldn't count either (as you can't confirm I started a new game given the previous early-game achievments). But I was already halfway through when I realised that, so I cleared this one too. Scratch one off the backlog! It's actually pretty cool once you get past the first few cases, but like DR3, it just doesn't feel the same as the old ones. By the time I actually got into this, it was over. And then I realised the Overtime mode that all the other games had? Yeah. They made it a paid DLC on this game. A paid DLC, that you have to buy, to see the true ending. Screw that :P

I made it! Too bad I had to find something short for the last game as I would not finish Turok 2. :(

Anyway click here!

Ooops didn't see you had done this for this one

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.

its possible youve won or just already owned games put into the monthly bundles. activating them yourself is definitely easier to tell what it there though

Hi, not sure if it was a mistake, but you only have 5 games there...

well done!

Kinda regret buying Persona 5 when it launched since I still haven't touched the thing -.-.

Blasphempus is sooooooo Good. Loved it.

yes, it's fine

everyone has been doing that since the start. very unreasonable to have to own 6 games from 1 section, no one will take part. So use all the different bundles you need
