Monthly in a month.

UPDATE: GRAPHICS CARD GAVE UP ON ME, PROBABLY WON'T BE PARTICIPATING :´D

Please take playtime with a grain of salt, I was idling for cards, I can assure you I haven't played them (note the achievements)

Extra in case Hacknet doesn't count (started and put on hold before challenge, no achievements or considerable play time)

Don't have a lot of free time this month (or the next two months in fact :P), but I like the idea so I'm giving it a shot :)

P/S: This list of Humble Monthly games is more comprehensive and up-to-date :)

Nice idea!

I assume games that really have no "end" are disqualified?

(For example, sports games like NBA2K17 or open-ended survival games like ARK).

Nice idea, but I have a question. I started Blasphemous and WH40K: Mechanicus on March 3rd. Will beating them count towards the challenge? I really don't want to put them (especially Mechanicus, it's great!) away for a month just to participate.

I know about the Humble Monthly/Choice since just a few months ago, so I don't know every game that was included during the past 5 years. Is there any site where I can check that?

And do I have to post the 6 games that I plan to play here before playing it or I can be selecting them on the moment?

the idea is awesome, but I don't think I'll be able to participate in this..
may come back to this later, though.. who knows... ;)

Great challenge, thumbs up!
But I don't want GreedFall))

Interesting challenge, maybe I'll go for it :)

I found barter.vg HB list to be the best place to find games for this, If you sign up and sync you will see on the list whether the game is in your library.

Challenge accepted!

I love this, just the motivation I needed to make a dent in these games. Here are my choices:

Spyro: Reignited Trilogy November 2019
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy November 2019
Sonic Mania October 2019
Minit April 2019
Pool Panic June 2019
Graveyard Keeper January 2020

Not sure if I'll manage because my gaming rig is on the fritz and I have to rely on my girlfriend's laptop, which sucks, to play but it's a really cool event and I'll definitely try to give it a go!

Interesting idea really :)

Honestly don't think I have a total of 6 still non-played games that have been featured on monthly.

Good luck to all

bump

Great idea. I was considering doing something like this myself.
Just to clarify, you're just doing a single giveaway, correct, not giving a copy of Greedfall to everyone who completes the challenge? :P

Spiders games I find really frustrating, good luck to the person who wins

Nice challenge! Now I have one more reason to clear my backlog.

Nice idea. Let's see how this works out.

The only problem I can see is that it encourages to play short games and/or rush them(which by itself is probably against the idea of the event if I got your intentions correctly), practically disqualifying entries with those 40+ or 60+ hours long titles. I also assume that it's not about finding a way how to kill the final boss within XX minutes(or whatever else action is required depending on the genre) as it's not a speedrun contest.
Assuming a reasonable value of ~2h per day*30 days a month /6 titles it makes sense to target ~10 hour long games. Obviously that's just an estimated average. People with more time to spend have most likely already played most of the titles they're interested in. For people with less time it's an even stricter limit.
You might want to think of it as you mentioned that you plan to continue this "event" for some time. I would say that social responsibility requires to find some way to prevent this event form encouraging people to play multiple hours a day just to pass a "challenge", especially in later iterations when the pool of qualifying titles is lower*. I know that it's everyone's responsibility to think for themselves and nobody is forced to participate, but it's the internet and sometimes even obvious jokes can be taken way too seriously, especially if they can also be considered challenges. Maybe beating games with a total HLTB time over some value would be a safer requirement for upcoming iterations

*I know that with choice there will be at least 10+ tiles every month, but some may be multiplayer only and usually at least 1-2 titles are either very long or endless games

Ps What's the preferred way to document entries. For games with achievements it's quite obvious, but what about other titles? I've seen the screenshot requirement, but a single screenshot doesn't prove that the game was played from the beginning to the end within a month. A clarification now may save you a lot of time later verifying the entries.

Thanks for reminding me to finally get back to 11-11 which I was postponing for way too long.
As for participation itself I will need to have a look at my library to check what other untouched games I have. I may get back to the topic once I do that.

Edit:

I'm in! Thanks for the challenge :)

Due to lack of time I'm going to play short/medium games:

• Hidden Folks
• Owlboy
• Tiny Echo
• SUPERHOT
• Do Not Feed the Monkeys
• PUSS!

In reserve

• Orwell
• NAIRI: Tower of Shirin
• Observer
• Hotline Miami 2

BLAEO list to track achievements and playtime

edits:

• added Hotline Miami 2

Nice, i'm in!

I will also join!
Damn that I started sword legacy omen a day too early :P

Do I have to list the games now, or can I list them when I am done with them?
(To be a bit more flexible with choosing them)

I will try to beat 6 games

So i'll go for:

• Finding Paradise - DONE.
• Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter - DONE.
• A Short Hike / Late Shift - DONE.
• Last Day of June - DONE.
• Hiveswap Act 1 - DONE.
• 11-11 Memories Retold - DONE.
  Yes.

There are 3 monthly games in my pop list, might as well try to fit 3 more (probably short) games. xD

Sounds like a nice idea but I don't think I'll have enough time for it this month. But maybe I'll have a look next month, if I still have enough short unplayed ones 🤔
