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: MONSTER HUNTER RISE

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 May 3rd 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 don't forget to be extra sneaky while hunting.

Made it. Barely. Fluffy Horde seems fun but man, the UI. Really killed quite a bit of enthusiasm I had for this month.

I haven't done this in a while so I'll give it a try this month

Let's see how I fare against Warsaw first. I read it was tough and I suck at strategy games but I'm resilient.
I have my whole month of games planned so let's see if they all hold to the gameplay.

Loved Warsaw! It takes a lot for me to get sucked in a turn based combat game, and Warsaw has got it!
The core of it is indeed TB strategy but the historical story and the way the characters are handled make it very immersive, where I find a lot of TB strategy games a little too dry on the story side.

Carto was ok. The game mechanics were clever but a little repetitive and there was really not that much exploration. It was more linear than I expected.

We Need to Go Deeper was tough as a single player! I got killed so many times! Ended up finishing a run only because I stopped worrying about my moronic bot teammates and rushed to the bottom as fast as humanly possible. The achievements are also bugged as hell.
I usually love roguelite and I was intrigued by the "Jules Verne" inspired setting but damn that game is ugly and bugged. Looking forward never to play it again!

I was left wanting for underwater gaming so I took off as a shark and Maneater was definitely more fun. Too bad the DLC is so expensive because I definitely would have liked some more.

Game Date Playtime Achievements Status
WARSAW May 2020 8h / HLTB (7h) 14 / 34 Finished (Achievement: Sed Non Obligant)
Carto August 2021 9h / HLTB (6h) 14 / 20 Beaten (Achievement: The Little Cartographer)
We Need To Go Deeper August 2021 7h / HLTB (?) 11 / 37 Beaten (Achievement: It's Cold Out in Space)
Maneater December 2021 16h / HLTB (10h) 24 / 44 Beaten (Achievement: Vengeance is Mine)
Calico February 2022 7h / HLTB (6h) 13 / 13 Completed (Screenshot)
Turok March 2020 9h / HLTB (8h) 7 / 10 Beaten (Achievement: Crushing Conclusion)

Warsaw was really fun, I liked it a lot more than Darkest Dungeon! I hope you enjoy it too!

Well I loved it. Didn't expect to because I tend to get bored quick by turned based strategy games but the story really pulled me in and the gameplay was awesome. I started playing and before I knew it 5 hours had gone by.
It reminded me of Through the Darkest of Times with more emphasis on combat and less on survival strategy I guess. But the way they managed to give a profound historical insight into a rarely examined part of WWII while making the game fun, albeit appropriately dark, is very similar.
Now I'll go play another run. Feels like I'll be playing that one for a while.

Gosh Flipping Dang it! I forgot to check this month and of course the GA is Rise! T-T
There were even a bunch of Choice games I was wanting to play this month, lol. XP

But I guess as much as I want it on Steam, I don't really want to start over so I'd rather get it for Switch, haha. I'm hoping they'll add cross-platform progress transfer if not cross-save, but neither are likely.
