Friendly reminder that HLD doesn't support Steam's cloud save feature, so you can't expect to e.g. sync your progress between machines. Otherwise it's a hauntingly beautiful game I enjoyed a lot, and I hope you have a good time playing it too :)

| SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake | September 2024 Humble Choice (#58) | Wanna see me do it again? - Clear every level and defeat the final boss | Finished with all achievements | I'm not a huge SB fan, but it was a really pleasant collectathlon. It had all the themes from the show, but didn't take over the game. |
| High on Life | August 2024 Humble Choice (#57) | Legendary Bounty Hunter - Defeat Garmantuous and take down the G3 cartel. | Finished main story | Was a LOT more tolerable with gun chatter turned off. It was alright, I'm happy I didn't pay more for it :D |
| Smile For Me | November 2020 Humble Choice (#12) | Residual Melancholy/Smile for You/Flower Friend are all ending achievements | Finished with all achievements | Very unique and weird game. There is a day-to-day cycle, but no deadline to the game, in case one wants to play it :) |
| The Suicide of Rachel Foster | October 2020 Humble Choice (#11) | All together, again - Complete the game. | Finished with all achievements | A walking sim that landed really nicely with me. |
| Remnant: From the Ashes | June 2023 Humble Choice (#43) | Dark Awakening - Defeat the Dreamer | Finished main story | weird and dark world, a very competent third person shooter that is NOT Dark Souls with guns. Optional online multiplayer, it's fun with randoms. There is no chat and people are helpful as it's co-op only. |
| Size Matters | May 2021 Humble Choice (#18) | maybe? True Expert - Win at least one round on all available laboratories! | Finished with all achievements | Very arcade-y, good for a short game for this event, but quite forgettable otherwise. |

| Game/Bundle | Status | Proof | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy September 2024 | Started: September 7th / Finished: October 3rd | Guardians of the Galaxy. | Voice acting is nice and fighting is decent. Attached to the characters as I like them in the movies. Fighting does become repetitive after a while and the story is predictable and drags on a bit. Still having fun with the game just playing it 1 or 2 chapters at a time. game went on a bit long in the end, but was still a fun game. |
| Nex Machina December 2017 | Started: September 9th / Finished: September 10th | Rookie + end screen credits | Game is a bit chaotic with a lot happening on the screen, but had a blast playing it. Short game but fun to play. |
| Hardspace: Shipbreaker November 2023 | Started: September 18th / Finished: October 8th | Act III Complete & See you Space Cowboy | Enjoyable game about breaking apart and salvaging spaceships and the corrupt company you work under. Having a blast with the game so far ^-^/ Game can get pretty complex. Everytime I feel like I get a hang of it, it introduces a new game mechanic. Good scaling of difficulty though, having fun figuring stuff out (or looking it up sometimes lol). Had a blast with this game. Took my time with it, could have finished it way earlier but held off on the point of no return for a bit. |
| Jusant October 2024 | Started: October 13th / Finished: October 18th | Water piper | Beautiful little game with nice looking graphics and adorable little creatures. Pc controls are fine, was a bit worried with the "This is best played with a controller" pop up. Enjoyed the game. |
| The Red Lantern January 2024 | Started: October 27th / Finished: October 27th | Made it home + End screen credits | Cute little story. Had fun picking my dog team. Fork in the path/butterfly effect story. Was an enjoyable short little story. Just keeping an eye on your resources and picking and choosing what encounters to go for or pass up on. |
| Kill it with fire July 2021 | Started: October 30th / Finished: October 30th | The Only Way To Be Sure + End screen credits | Another short little game to finish the challenge. I am terrible with spiders, but was not that much of an issue ig. Decent enough little game. DEATH TO ALL SPIDERS! |
| Swapped out | Status | Proof | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chaotic but fun from what I played. Sadly did not save my progress and started me at the beginning. Did not want to replay it so swapping it out. Also got a bit overwhelmed by all of the colors on the screen (though the fact that I already had a headache also did not help). |
May still change the games around, but motivates me to state a few (plus extra to swap out) to get started.

Two months - yesss!
| Game Status | Impressions |
|---|---|
| OTXO / Started on September 4th / Finished✔ on September 6th Unmasked (Final Boss achievement. MC is forced/compelled to wear a white mask, in the end he is able to take it off). | Before playing: Caught myself wondering: have I ever played a Hotline Miami clone/successor? I know that I have several of them in my library. But it seems I never touched any of them. After playing: I think introducing roguelike element into "Hotline Miami" has messed up the whole formula! In a way "Hotline Miami" is a puzzle game. But in OTXO you can't "try and error" procedurally generated levels especially when an "error" deletes almost all of your progress. So it all comes down to common "roguelike" decease: you don't "gitgut", you simply wait out until you get lucky and build a winning build. |
| Valfaris / Started on September 6th / Finished✔ on September 9th Son of Valfaris (Final Boss achievement). | Before playing: I once had a cartridge of Contra to my Chinese "NES". I never beat it. So I guess Valfaris will have to pay for its father's affront! After playing: After "OTXO" it was nice to jump into something more "structured". Admittedly, this structure is just a usual action platforming, I didn't re-wire my brain here and learnt no "new ways", nevertheless it's all done on a competent enough level to put the game into "not bad, not bad" category. |
| Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy / Started on September 10th / Finished✔ on September 23d Guardians of the Galaxy ("complete the game" achievement). | Before playing: I am actually very intrigued by this game, cause It's clearly an AAA-game made on billions-billions$ franchise license, but It's talked about in "underappreciated" and even "hidden gem" terms... But despite being "commercial disappointment" it still was sold in several millions copies. So in a way it's a strange mainstream "hidden gem". I'm interested to see what it looks and feels like. After playing: "Yaaawn" but respectful if it makes sense. I can't deny high budget and great technical effort put into this game. But the whole experience for me was like rewatching a movie that may even be good but I simply remember all this too well and I don't miss it enough to bear long cutscenes and even longer exposition walks without occasionally getting annoyed by them. |
| 🥱Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York / Started on September 6th / Finished✔ on October 1st Damned if You do ("complete the game" achievement). | Before playing: I once wondered: "Did they make visual novels for V:TM Bloodlines? Is this game that popular?" To my astonishment I learnt that "The Masquerade" is only one part of the whole gothic-punk(!) multiverse of games and books, it's called "World of Darkness" and was pretty influential all through mid90-early00s. It faded considerably in popularity since then, probably due to leather clothes going out of style. After playing: Wow, I was soooo bored playing it, it's amazing! Even writing my opinion about it is too boring for me to fin... |
| ⭐Remnant: From the Ashes / Started on October 1st / Finished✔ on October 22nd 100%. | Before playing: Every year at the end of summer and the start of the fall I play "Dark souls" game. I already beat Dark souls 1-3 and Sekiro. So this year naturally I was planning on trying "Elden Ring"... But an idea to try "souls-like" Remnant instead came uninvited and kinda excited me more! After playing: "Dark Souls with guns" - an adequate description, a little bit patronizing - the game has enough share of its own ideas, one of them are procedurally generated levels. |
| Jusant / Started on October 13th / Finished✔ on October 18th Water Piper (Complete the game). | Before playing: Surprised that "Jusant" got bundled so soon! I thought it was "an indie of the week" at the time. And yeeeeah, turns out it had many praises but not so many sales. After playing: It's a very nice game! A bit minimalistic, sometimes feels like a tech demo for "Unreal Engine 5" and proof of concept for their whole climbing idea. Overall it's much better than "Gris" and it should have had the same sales! |

I saw that coming, glad it's in 2 month cycle.
It appeared that in it's final form it became mainly horror themed attempt - we got vampires, spiders, skeletons and strange, unspoken terror of the deep.

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 Black Myth: Wukong
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 eight 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 November 5th when the next 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.
Good luck, have fun and stay safe.
Thanks for reading, and safe travels..
