Think you can do it?
No. You have to beat them. If I allow unfinished games, I know someone is gonna try to be smart and I don't wanna bother with that nonsense.

Still no for the same reason, sorry. I'm only willing to offer a bit of leeway to account for idling but I would rather prefer peeps start fresh.

So any games that were Humble Monthly/Choice in last 5 years?
Even if I was not buying Humble Monthly let say 2 years ago but I did win a game from HB I can play that game and it counts?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes it still counts. It would be impractical for me to request receipts, so as long as the game was featured in a monthly, it will count. How you got the game does not matter.
Comment has been collapsed.
OK :)
Now to pick 6 games and try to fight my urge to 100% them :P
Comment has been collapsed.
But they got to be in the same bundle, if I understood correctly.
I assume, Zarddin wants to pick 6 games from monthly, but not from one month, so we might clear this up...

I knew I forgot something ...
I'll make one tomorrow after work.

I just found this with a quick search, but it's plain text and not one game per line, so it may be a bit hard to go through. I'm pretty sure there are sites that track all Humble bundles, but I'm not sure if you can just choose to see the monthly's.
Edit: This site has all the games listed up through November 2018 with links to the Steam store pages.

Play and beat 6 games, starting today, that have been featured in a Humble Monthly/Choice bundle in one month.
Play 6 games in a month, or 6 games featerd within 1 month of Humble monthly/choice?
Comment has been collapsed.
Play any six games that was featured in any monthly bundle.
Having 6 untouched games from a single monthly would likely quality ... a dozen users?
Also:
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.
No monthly featured a "bunch of 1h games" or "6 +30h games", that only enforces that we're talking about games ever featured in HB monthly ^^

Nice observation skills you've got there. :) Still, the way the sentence was written, I preferred to ask just to be certain. Or at least plant a suggestion, that perhaps unclear as it is, it could be rewritten.
Comment has been collapsed.
Did a slight rewrite which should make it more clear. Sorry for the confusion but as Adam said, any 6 from any monthly will do.

Lol, Although initially I wanted to rise up to the challenge, I decided I should actually study for my university classes. But now my government decided that all educational facilities will be closed for almost a month due to coronavirus. So I guess here we go.

Here's my list for now:
- HellBlade Senua's Sacrifice (July 2019)
- Underhero (Feb 2020)
- Chroma Squad (Dec 2015)
- Minit (Apr 2019) - beaten
- Purrfect Date (Dec 2018)
- Aaero (Feb 2019)
Edit: I managed to find 5 SG wins that qualified π

This is an awesome idea! I'll have to see what games I have that qualify

Oh wow! I'll have to try, have to figure out how to mix this with PAGYWOS first :p

I think it was for BLAEO, maybe the "X is a "play a game you won on Steamgifts" month", but I recommended the games featured in Monthlies because I had to face that I really didn't care about awesome games in those bundles, despite how happy I was for many, many of them :) So obviously, this is a great thing and I like it a lot! :D (But damn, 6 games D: )
I'll give a try to it, or at least try to support it in some way ( I'm in Limbo gaming wise for a good 2-3 weeks, either not in the mood or getting disappointed :c )
I would try some. of these I hope it's okay to restart games with close to no progress, like 1 boss defeated out of 7, or got a single achievement. In case of no, just throwing out ideas. Also I used to idle my games until like 2018, so while they have gameplay time, no / close to no actual gaming was done.
Mushroom 11 ( 1 achievement, maybe 1 hour played)
Dropsy: 1 cheevo, I think less than 1 hour proper gameplay
The Talos Principle (idled)
The Masterplan (idled)
Broken Age (idled)
Saints Row 4 ( uses save slots so possible to play it from scratch, though 11 hours :D done)
Volume (idled)
Shantae and the Pirate's Curse (idled)
Sentinels of the Multiverse
This War of Mine (stared at menu, scared)
Renowned Explorers: International Society (idled)
Nova-111 (idled)
The Magic Circle (let's say it together, idled!)
Avalanche 2: Super Avalanche(idled)
Already 11 games from scratch, and I only checked 6 months :D I think it's doable :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Heretic play This War of Mine.
One of the best games, from the feeling, that i ever played.
Comment has been collapsed.
The Magic Circle is finished! I'm a big fan of game development stories and interested in the industry, and this puzzle-adventure had some great topics regarding those :)
Comment has been collapsed.
First of all, this is a great idea. I have several monthlies from which I have several games which I have not yet played, so yay!
Thank you for your generosity.
2 Questions: If the game has multiple difficulties, do i have to play it on hardest, or can my usual difficulty of easy/normal count?
also, is this just the main storyline, or does it have to be main+extras?
PS: do the extras count?
Comment has been collapsed.
Great challenge, not sure if I will manage to squeeze some games into my program though. XD
Good luck everyone and enjoy your games. ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
For lack of free time, I doubt I could make it, but here's a list of games that have been in Humble Monthlies that I've enjoyed(?) and beaten, for... inspiration?...
-
Grim Fandango Remastered - my favorite game of all time, but I won't think less of you if you need to look up hints on more than one occasion
-
Dropsy - oh, it's weird alright, but in a positive way. Not recommended for achievement hunters.
-
South Park: The Stick of Truth - brilliant.
-
Copoka - short, chill, annoying to find everything
-
Planet of the Eyes - short, simple puzzle platformer
-
Kathy Rain - beautiful classic style point-and-click that I enjoyed the beginning and middle of
-
ABZΓ - short, chill, our cat really loved drifting through the kelp more than the fish!
-
SUPERHOT - not too lengthy, simple but very effective alternate take on the first person shooter. Makes you feel a bit like John Wick.
-
Overcooked - highly recommended if you've got a partner to play with. Good length campaign though, not short.
-
The Sexy Brutale - great little game that ushers you carefully through the slowly revealed narrative through its unique gameplay. Almost short, but didn't feel short.
-
Tomb Raider - recently re-played this one to 100% (again). I'd forgotten how much combat there was in it, only really remembering the adventuring. It's definitely good, but not top ten good. Still, good. Long-ish, but doesn't drag at all -- keeps you moving.
-
Life is Strange - beautiful game, loved it. Don't have a good grasp of long/short since I was lucky enough to play it as episodes released, but it's probably one that feels long. I hope no one has spoiled anything in the story for you.
-
Hidden Folks - it's basically Where's Waldo. Short-ish... take it easy, play one setting per day, savor it a bit.
-
Sniper Elite - hoo-boy games were clunky way back when... I enjoyed it by the time I got to the end, but the first level almost killed any enthusiasm I had for the game and it was a very slow build from there. If you can't handle old games, do not play this one.

Mmmmmm, I'm already planning on playing a very long game for Play or Pay so I probably won't have the time to participate, but I wanted to add my +1 in saying that I think this is a fascinating idea.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm the same, to many very long games to play for PoP but this is a good way to get people to play games, just reward them for it!
Comment has been collapsed.
Nice timing, since a new humble monthly (choice) is out in like 4 hours.
To save a bit of money, I think GreedFall is $30 on 2 sites, us.gamesplanet.com and gamersgate (which you all ready mentioned in your post).
I think I'll stop playing my Fallout 4 mega play through (ie. build up all settlements, all quests, all items collected, etc.... far too long of a game) and go for the 6 games beat.
Btw, there is also a sale on RPG games + Square-Enix games in humblestore if you are inclined to offer them too:
NieR:Automata $18
Dragon Quest XI $27
Dragon Quest Builders 2 $38

Ya I bought it before just before posting and I knew it wasn't gonna get reviewed anytime soon. That is the only reason why I didn't make a gib for it until now.
Comment has been collapsed.
I really like this idea! I will mostly go for short games but maybe I'll add Black Mesa, The Forest, Northgard, Guacamelee 2, Battle Chef Brigade or Mutant Year Zero later... So many great games, I have never touched (except for card farming).

I think Black Mesa got its official 1.0 like yesterday, great time to play it! I really liked it before Xen was available (though the hitpunch felt a bit high)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep, I've been waiting for a long time and read about the release yesterday, so I wanted to mention it. Not sure if I want to squeeze it into this month though :D
Comment has been collapsed.
I can give it a shot, I guess.
EDIT:
1.) Eliza 100% Achievements / Review
2.) A Small Hike 100% Achievements / Review
3.) Hellblade Setsuna's Sacrifice 100% Achievements / Review
4.) The Shrouded Isle 100% Achievements / Review
5.) Old Man's Journey No achievements. ;w; / Review
6.) The Witness 50% Achievements
Working on that last achievement but they don't call it a challenge room for nothing. >.>

I would love to replay Okami, though a few people, including me, have had an issue with the mouse (the brush in game.) lagging, if that happens to you, it's difficult to finish the game and you may want to consider swapping it out. It's really fun though; and I hope you don't have any issues.
Comment has been collapsed.
Great idea, I'm in not sure if I'll manage to finish all of them but it'll be fun to try!
I'll get back to you on my choice of games, there's so much to choose from since I've been sub since it started...

+1 for Finding Paradise, The Turing Test and Fran Bow, they were nice (at various degree :D Fran Bow is a bit missed its mark but still decent)
I may add Kentucky Route Zero to my plan, I was really looking forward to the final episode, and I just need an excuse to play it :3

Strange that I never heard from anyone here about Wuppo β and it's 'Overwhelmingly Positive' π€

I do remember someone from the SG Discord who played and loved it, it's just on my personal never-ending backlog. It's something that I look forward to, but frankly I know nothing about it even for myself, I try to keep info/spoiler minimal :)

hmm, how late in PoP cycle we can change games / or you can request 1 change? I can replace short one with Kentucky, if you want :)
Comment has been collapsed.
That's a really nice offer from you, but no need for that. I don't participate for top scores, and already got the passing points, and picks are reallly nice this quarter. ( The current struggle is CJ's event + Play your Wins, and getting into the mood of again playing games. These weeks are intense)
Comment has been collapsed.
alright :) Braid is cool too, after all ;D
yeah, with CJ's event I've got unexpected 5 games on top of my backlog. But it's a really good excuse to play all accumulated good stuff from Humble (even if I actually bought myself half of the games on steam, huh)

Hi, my antivirus (Avira free) find a trojan in the installation folder of Beyond Eyes, and i can't complete the installation. You have an antivirus installed? I think going to change this game...

Hi! I don't have antivirus, but I just checked game's folder with 'microsoft defender' β nothing, then I checked .exe with virustotal β it's a false positive: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/56164b8f77ffd68db112f6f1ad52e8512e40dc78562b10cb5750f57ceffbeeed/detection

Yes I know it is called Humble Choice now but it is a shitty name so I'll ignore it.
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: GreedFall
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 April 3rd 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 live at my real life job since it seems like I never leave that place :/.
Good luck and have fun.
Thanks for reading, here's a cookie.
