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.

Now I'm motivated! ...to beat that backlog.

  1. 1000xRESIST - "Hekki Allmo"
  2. Soul Reaver 1&2 - "SR1 | You Nearly Had Me" and "SR2 | Blade of Vengeance"
  3. Miasma Chronicles - "Savior"
  4. Quantum Break - "Time Cop"
  5. BLACKTAIL - "Baba Yaga"
  6. Demon Turf - "The Demon Queen"

Question for maybe next month. How do you treat compilation titles like Tomb Raider 1-3 or Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered - does it counts as multiple games?

Question for maybe next month. How do you treat compilation titles like Tomb Raider 1-3 or Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered - does it counts as multiple games?

You would need to beat every game within the collection for it to count. So for Tomb Raider 1-3, you would need to beat all three games within the collection to get credit for 1 title. It has been done in the past with Crash Bandicoot and Spyro, so if you have the time, go for it.

Let me know if all of these games are eligible, I don't want to have the House flipper situation like last time :)

"games are eligible", I checked the list that you can too and "YES" to your question. (Amnesia: Rebirth should be viable also)
You could have checked my comment here, where there's a google doc list

That is an extremely useful website, thank you!
I believe Amnesia: Rebirth should be viable too, afaik it's the latest game "Bunker" that has some rogue-lite elements and maybe could be considered non-viable but I don't know enough about it to be sure.

I made it, it's just what's in the google doc (which is updated first).
As for Amnesia I just speculated that you can.. Haven't really played any amnesia game and I think it has like a campaign or singeplayer story, that you can finish I think...

I really enjoyed Blue Fire, ran through it for this contest back in 2023, probably would have missed out on it otherwise.

Time to uh... do my best?

Game HB Month Status Thoughts? Vibes?
Station to Station October 2024 Beaten Looks cute, hope it's fun // phew. so,.. the aeshetic is top notch, but the puzzles... are quuite savescummy, and the maps turn larger and more complicated, up to the point where it becomes a slog. do not recommend : (
Griftlands February 2025 Beaten Very very fun! Reminds me a bit of Zoeti, which I played on a previous MiaM. Maybe I just like roguelike deckbuilders?
Evergarden November 2019 Beaten Yea, I need a palette cleanser from Station to Station (i love the aesthetic but the puzzles are... kinda savescummy...) // after finishing: super chill. Story is def not the main draw, but its not intrusive either, and the 1024-like gameplay is a treat. will probs complete it in the future~
Evan's remains March 2022 Beaten I played this on my phone so, so long ago. It's just as good as I remembered.
Neo Cab 2025 July Beaten A lovely time. I will def come back and finish more stories : ) Oona the quantum witch is the most wonderful lady.
Frog Detective 1 2020 December Completed Charmingly quirky, a quickie to finish the event. So cute~

Hi. For Griftlands, you need to beat all the characters stories for it to count. Please update the screenshot.

A Short Hike - 4/12 - The End (Beaten)
Figment 16/23 Coming Back to the Surface (Beaten) Review
Kathy Rain - 20/20 Been There, Done That (Completed) Review
Behind The Frame: The Finest Scenery 19/19 The Finest Scenery (Completed) Review
Jack Move - 8/10 Krall Konfrontation (Beaten) Review

NOTE: Figment and Kathy Rain both had some idle time before I started playing them.
NOTE 2: No achievements have popped for Jack Move, 2 hours in (playing on mac, and apparently it's a known issue). EDIT: I figured out how to transfer my save file to windows environment, but it only popped one achievement. EDIT2: Finished game, but missed a couple of the earlier achievements at at start which are story related. Will have to get them on a new save. Order of achievements will be messed up now. :(
