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 one month.

The prize: Star Wars Outlaws

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 March 4th 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 down with the Empire!

Entering challenge again, thanks for organising ^0^/ <3 Really liking this challenge.

Game/Bundle Status Proof Comments
Garden Life: A Cozy Simulator November 2024 Started: February 10th / Finished: February 17th Seasoned Gardener + finished 100% achievements ^0^/ Had fun with it, my kind of relaxed cozy game/simulator. Went for all achievements for funsies. The water 1000 times with watering cans achievement was the bane of my existence though D: switched to sprinklers as soon as I could and had no idea how far into the 1000 I was progress wise ;-; Still, absolutely adored this game and glad I went for 100% ^0^/ <3
Stories Untold September 2017 Started: February 23rd / Finished: february 23rd Admission. Finish Episode 4. and Stories, Told + finished 100% achievements Somehow I always end up strapped for time. Switched in some shorter games to try to finish the challenge in time. Interesting short little typing/walking game. Story was a bit darker than I was expecting.
Copoka July 2016 Started: February 27th / Finished: February 27th Thank you for playing + finished 100% achievements Interesting concept, okay ish little game. Controls are a bit finicky.
Five Dates February 2023 Started: February 27th / Finished: February 27th Nueva Beginnings. 3rd Date with Maya was a Success. Some more short games to try to finish the challenge in time. Seems like a decent game so far. Went for Maya and got the good ending with her.
Monster Prom 3: Monster Roadtrip December 2024 Started: March 2nd / Finished: March 2nd Road Fling. Your first DATE ENDING! It must be love! + End road trip message Cutting it close with the event. Played previous games from Monster Prom for the event, so wanted try this one out as well. Fun little game, always was low on one resource though lol. Got a normal destination ending by getting my score to 25 and a date ending. Reached two different destination endings in my two playthroughs. Decent game with random events, liked it. Might continue it outside of the challenge. Had decent fun with it ^0^/ .
Purrfect Date December 2018 Started: March 2nd / Finished: March 2nd What kind of game do you think this is?!? Weird game. Did not like it, not my kind of game :/

I really like this challenge and getting to play some new games. Nice to try out some different kind of games. Liked 5 out of the 6 games this month. My fav was Garden Life. Close second was Monster Prom. Shared third place were Stories Untold and Five Dates. Copoka after that. Only one I did not like was Purrfect Date. Still, aside from the last one some nice games to play. Glad I got to play some games I had not played before. I love Star Wars, so glad to get a chance to win Outlaws.

Game Status Impressions
Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition / Started on February 5th / Finished✔ on February 19th Veteran. Before playing: I owned RE5 on CD(or DVD - who remembers!) and I'm not sure, why I never finished it. I hazily remember stupid turret section in ugly yellow color palette. After playing: RE games always start rather awkward but they always win me over in the end. RE5 took a bit longer though. I guess now, in retrospect, we can agree that "resident evil concept" strains itself the more action-y the gameplay gets. RE5 is dangerously close to crossing the allowed limit of lickers per square meter.
Road 96 / Started on February 15th / Finished✔ on February 24th 100%-ed Before playing: I don't know where I'm getting it, but I think this game is good. After playing: It's cooked rather nicely, so when inevitably you realize that most of your choices are decorative and their consequences start and end in the same scene, you don't feel robbed. At least not that much robbed.
Dropsy / Started on February 11th / Finished✔ on February 15th The Longest Hug (Dropsy reached the end of his journey) - buggy achievements that only activate in a bunch when you restart the game. Before playing: Some trippy "Point & Click", it seems! After playing: I enjoyed it, but you can tell that it's a Kickstarter game by how it "forgets" some of its premises and how it expands but mostly ends things in dead ends. Nevertheless it's a good "Point & Click"!
Stories Untold / Started on February 8th / Finished✔ on February 10th Stories, Told. Before playing: I tried to play another game from the same team - "Observation", but I got spooked away by very technical slow-burn gameplay. If "Stories Untold" is good, I'll finish "Observation"! After playing: I liked it, even though it's in one part a light version of "instruction" puzzles ("Still There" is better) and in another part is guessing and typing right word commands, but the game doesn't recognize my "clear the wreckage" as correct, cause correct is "move the wreckage". Can't wait for future games with actual LLM!
Scanner Sombre / Started on February 10th / Finished✔ on February 11th NG+ unlocked and Final Cutscene - Spoiler!. Before playing: Looks interesting! There are no steam achievements. I'll play the game anyway and see if there is something that can be used as a reliable proof for finishing the game. After playing: Compact delivery of technical gimmick and art direction! In other words: short but memorable.
Bad North / Started on February 17th / Finished✔ on February 22nd Folk Hero. Before playing: Some years ago I played it on Epic, It was engaging enough that I finished it through in one sitting (I was young and reckless back then). After playing: Still nice! Every battle is a small free-flow puzzle and generator of "oof it was close!" moments.
