Play and beat any 6 games, starting today,
The start time of the event corresponds with the release of the current Humble Choice bundle (i.e. December 7th). If a game has play time before this date, it is not allowed for the event.

At first I thought that I would skip this month (because I generally despise everything Marvel), but then I remembered that Guardians of the Galaxy are actually fun! That, and "overwhelmingly positive", of course :) So I'm in! I've barely played adventure games lately, time to change the situation :)

Notes:
1) Earthlock didn't count the final achievement for some reason. Seems broken like some of the others achievements. A bit frustrating considering I spent 40 hours. I made credits' screenshots.
2) Maize and Old Man's Journey don't have achievements, Credits' screenshots again.

I don't know if I'll manage all 6 games but I'm so happy to be able to play again, I'll throw my hat in the ring and follow after it.
Turnip Boy was a blast. I was playing with my niece and she got a kick out of it. I liked the gameplay and quest system. Combat is a bit clunky but fun too.
Effie was a pain in the a$$. I enjoyed it until the game crashed and... I realized I lost 4 hours of gameplay and had to start almost all over again... and then it happened again. Basically played the game three times in a row to finish it. Ugh. I hate auto-saving games. It's bad enough they don't let you save and you have to replay gigantic portions of the game if you die or you know... stop playing, but when auto-save is bugged? I mean c'mon!
Not sure about Hiveswap Friendsim yet. It's one of those games I don't really get I guess. I am finishing it just for the event but I'm a bit bored tbh.
Now Voidigo on the other hand... That's my jam! I'm really getting into Roguelite games this year and this one might be my favorite since I played Immortal Redneck. I am definitely sinking a lot more hours into this even though I probably never will 100% it just judging from the achievement global stats. Ouch.
While I'm at it, I'm going to give Black Future 88 a run. Let's see if it measures up to Voidigo.
Well, it's fun but still prefer Voidigo's style. I'll be running it for a while so I'm sure I'll get better at it but for now, I managed to finish a run and loop the game a couple of times, I feel blessed. Oh and I died. A lot.
On to Katana Zero! Well, I loved the game. Great story. Awesome gameplay. Best game I played this month and among the best this year... until the "end". I wish "to be continued" was just the name of the "beat the game" achievement. But it's not. The game doesn't end. Seriously? You craft a great story and a great game and you just leave it hanging in the air? Ugh. Shame.

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 one month.
The prize: Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy
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 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 six 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 January 4th when the 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 good luck with your holiday shopping.
