Cool, looking forward to this round!
Plans are from the top of my head:
Life is Strange 2
Vampyr
Dark Pictures: Little Hope
Wildfire?
Black Book? Maybe something shorter, they can add up to quite a time
Ghostwire Tokyo is something I've been wanting to play recently, we'll see :)

I have already won this game, so I will skip this event

| Game Status | Impressions |
|---|---|
| Broken Age / Started on June 10th / progress. | Before playing: There are two sides to this game it's Tim Schafer's game and it was funded through Kickstarter. It's a perfect set-up for a potentially unfocused and self-indulgent game with a rushed ending. |
| Not for Broadcast / untouched / progress. | Before playing: Heard many good things, not only about game's "british humor", but the gameplay itself is also praised as rather engaging. |
| Borderlands 3 / untouched / progress. | Before playing: I gather that people don't like "Borderlands 3", at least not as much as the second one. They say the writing became bad and cringe. I'm sure, I'll survive millennial humor as long as gunplay remains snappy and addictive. |
| Destroy All Humans! 2 - Reprobed / not Started / progress. | Before playing: I played the first part for CJ's event a year ago, was left with a feeling that the core game mechanics also could have benefited from some modernization. But I didn't mind my time spent with that simplistic gameplay. Still I wonder, how it will be on the second round. |
| Blue Fire / untouched / progress. | Before playing: Success is never promised in "precision platformers", there is a ton of details you need to consider that make it or break it, especially in 3d. By all accounts "Blue fire" works, but I'm preemptively ready to blame camera for catching projectiles or missing ledges on jump. |

I have a google doc for this event, it shows what games are eligible for the event and what is needed etc..
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xBd5rltp8WxQSnG2BVKPzr7quTLJCvCt2MaGCxzs-d8/edit?usp=sharing
Also a website with same game list as google doc but I first update google doc and then some time later website
https://www.choiceevent.xyz/games
If any suggestions for website or excel to add or improve, feel free to write to me or contact me.
Also I think it's about time to make this official, at least google doc. (already wrote to CJ) But any comments about this? Maybe you think this shouldn't be made official, aka next to "List of eligible games:" as no need? Or any other comment?

I would love it if we could sign into the site with our steam account, or sync our library some other way. We could filter the games we actually own that way.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's planned already. :)
The library part. (signing with steam was already done(when I did test event run) but I removed that functionality for now...)

The time has come to attempt this :)

You don't need to make screenshots, you can just provide link to your achievements :)
for example https://steamcommunity.com/id/jacky00025/stats/601510/?tab=achievements
and a tip for this link, just change appid for your specific game, i.e. "601510"

Thanks for reply.
I see, so you can check complete date to make sure it is completed in this month right?🤔
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, this is a great way to check if the game was played only during the event(not before or after the event (you can play it after of course, though the proof of finishing the game achievement matters)).
Also it shows if you finished the game, that is if you got needed achievement. (any ways to confirm if you played correctly we would look at achievements of the game if it has it, otherwise screenshot of the end game/credits would be needed etc.)
TLDR, your current screenshots are not needed but you can link to your achievements for games to easier check if you followed the rules and finished the game. :)
It would look something like this for your game

You have been giving us this beautiful backlog/treasure chest-killing event every month (and change) for over 5 years, spending your money and time for us... you have nothing to apologize for, CJ. You don't owe us, we owe you.
First one is a game I meant to play for a while but couldn't find the time. Metro Exodus. Enjoying it so far but it's a bit of a slog with immense areas to explore, a limited map and very similar looking settings. I got turned around a lot and lost, which is not very fun in a FPS. I normally like exploration in games but this feels like it's distracting from the main story. Too many collectibles and such maybe, I dunno.

With this game I'm so in.
Last time I participated for Metaphor selected another Atlus game. Cannot do the same so will try to feature at least one french game, however already played Plague Tale (both) (and Steelrising), so need some research first.

Copy pasta of copy pasta of 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 two months.
The prize: 2x Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
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 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 August 5th 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 enjoy the view.

Sorry again for the late thread. The start time of the event will match the bundle release date.
