I already rather beaten also backup, cause it looks like Atomicrops doesn't have a story. All story is "survive for year". And after that you just replay that year when you increase difficulty, but apparently it adds nothing new, same areas to visit, same bosses, same quest from major...

FYI text near top needs an update, says we have one month but later this event runs until June 4th which is 2 months.

Swapped out | |||
---|---|---|---|
Gameplay and voice acting are a bit meh. Also, not even 10 min in already a game breaking bug and had to restart which restarted me at the beginning of the chapter :/ ON HOLD AS I AM NOT ENJOYING IT, might be swapped out |
May still change the games around, but motivates me to state a few (plus extra to swap out) to get started.

Took some out, sorry had a few extra stated that I still needed to weed out and decide on ^-^/

No worries. I was just worried you were going to do double the work and then get upset when I tell you it was too much.

Game Status | Impressions |
---|---|
Shadow of the Tomb Raider / Started on April 5th / Finished✔ on April 16th Completionist(Reach 100% completion). | Before playing: Not sure why I procrastinated and did not finished the trilogy. I have played the first two entries, they were alright to pretty good. After playing: The tombs in this "Tomb Raider" are the best in the series. Honestly, they went hard on them. And more the wonder how aggressively bland were the plot and characters. The writing was so bad that it killed the joke that this version of Lara Croft is secretly a psychotic maniac, now everyone is a little bit "off", on the spectrum. You can't even make fun of it. you just want to skip it. |
Ghostwire: Tokyo / Started on April 13th / Finished✔ on April 24th Hero of Shibuya (Complete the main story after transferring at least 100% of the spirits in the city). | Before playing: Tango Gameworks was making a turn from The Evil Within to Hi-Fi Rush. In between there was Ghostwire: Tokyo. Interesting. After playing: As I was collecting 240k spirits 100 at a time, my opinion about this game oscillated from one extreme to another and back again. Out of spite I collected all that you can collect. And in the end I'll just say one thing: if you want to make a collectathon then simply copy Batman: Arkham Knight and not Assassin Creed. |
Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion / Started on April 25h / Finished✔ on April 25th 100%. | Before playing: I picked this game from another challengers' lists. It looks alright. After playing: It's a joke game that rewards you with more jokes. I kind of felt that the comedy peaked at the title, but the game is wisely short and easy so no real complains. |
Styx: Master of Shadows / Started on April 25h / progress. | Before playing: " This game is in my library, unplayed" - this's what I occasionally remind myself for years. For some reason it is one of the most judgmental voices in my backlog. Playing: I'm playing on "Goblin" difficulty cause the internet told me it's how developers wanted you to play. This difficulty makes any combat impossible, making the game the purest stealth there is. |
⭐Flat Heroes / Started on April 27h / progress. | Before playing: "Minimalism" is intriguing for me. The idea that you can get the most by "minimum" somehow always felt right for me. The game is probably just a platformer and not so deep conceptually. Playing: From the first minutes I liked the game: fast paced, right to action and interesting gameplay core where your only goal is to survive an onslaught of different types of enemies with their tricky attacks. |
OlliOlli World / untouched / progress. | Before playing: I half-jokingly resent games that allow you finish them without forcing you to master all mechanics. They gave you "F-" or "one star" and let you be. It's moral weakness that permits moral weakness!! |

Amazing GA! I hope you can still take a breather in the next two months and come up for air.
I'm going to start with X-Morph because I just won it and I may even play it co-op. I'll figure out the rest after

I love these, so I'll try again! :)
Game / Bundle / Acheivement | Review |
---|---|
1. Souldiers / Nov 2023 / Master of magic | 2.5/5. A good and difficult metroidvania that unfortunately likes wasting your time. The areas are very confusing to navigate. I had to look up a walkthrough quite a few times, which I don't enjoy doing. Combat gets a little stale after 20 hours of it. Story is ambitious but not rewarding for me. |
2. Foretales / Sep 2023 / The Good Place | 3.5/5. I really liked this game and would've given it a 4.5/5 if it weren't for all the forced repeating of missions. Luckily it does provide some shortcuts after a while, but it was still a lot of the same old thing. I probably wouldn't have finished this if it weren't for this monthly challenge. Definitely worth checking out! |
3. If Found / May 2022 / Go mbeirimid beo ar an am seo aris | 3.5/5. A really simple game mechanic that actually helped immerse me in the story. Some cool audio and visuals. I probably won't remember much about the story, but playing through was a pleasant experience for me. |
4. Nobody Save the World / Dec 2023 / Personal Growth | 4/5. A fun action game! The weapon/ability variety is very good for mixing/matching and making your favorite build. I made a ghost build that was a blast to play with. Minimal story with enough charm that it doesn't overstay its welcome. I recommend this game! |
5. The Pale Beyond / Dec 2023 / Bonded | 4/5. This one surprised me. It's a pretty good visual novel with resource management gameplay. The story and the characters were compelling, and even though I got 2 different endings I feel like there's a lot left in this game to discover. Even though it has quirks, I would recommend this if you're into these types of games. |
6. Tiny Tina's Wonderlands / Sep 2023 / At the Top of All Things | 3.5/5. I love Borderlands gameplay, but the writing and/or humor just doesn't hit for me anymore. Half way through I almost gave up, but I turned off the dialogue volume and was able to finish it. :D Early-mid game the enemies are pretty bullet-spongy, but once you get better loot and a good build then it gets a lot better. Overall a mixed bag, but I leaned towards liking it. I might even continue playing the endgame content. |

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 Ghost of Tsushima DIRECTOR'S CUT
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 June 4th 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 never give up on your dreams..

Update #1
First, sorry for the late thread, been busy :/.
Broke a personal rule by making the prize a preorder title. Made the exception because it is currently the top wishlisted game on the site, it is a PC port of a popular game and Nixxes Software is working on it. Here's hoping it doesn't bite me in the ass
As mentioned before, I'll be unavailable from the end of April till about mid May. If you have any questions about a game's eligibility, please ask about it as soon as possible so that I can give you adequate time to play/repick. I'm hoping to send out invites around mid May but you are free to post before that.
