Copy pasta of endless copy pasta.

Hello and welcome to the madness!
The challenge is simple: Play and beat any 6 games, starting 6/May/2025, that have been featured in any given Humble Monthly/Choice bundle in one months.

The prize: 2x Blue Prince
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 June 3rd 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 best of luck on your journey.

Sorry for the late thread. Been a bit busy. The start time of the event will match the bundle release date.

One positive thing about this event is that it's made me reconsider trying out more games that I had previously buried deep, deep, in my backlog.

What did you think of Aces & Adventures, and Not for Broadcast?

In this case I came in more looking forward to the latter than the former, but came away enjoying Aces & Adventures a lot more. I'm no deckbuilding aficionado, but it just had the right amount of depth to keep me interested through the first difficulty (which was on the easy side I'd say). I tend to only play through games once, but for players who want more, there's more classes, difficulties and modes to dive into. All in all, a pleasant experience.

Not for Broadcast on the other hand, kind of regretted getting this one. It's the more popular title of the two and I knew little of how the game played beforehand, so the Five Nights at Freddy's style was a surprise. Your enjoyment of this one is largely going to linked to how much you enjoy all the live action broadcasts. For me they didn't work, the plot made less sense as it went along, and there's this whole story told entirely through text outside of the studio segments regarding the player's home life that I didn't care for as well. There's a bunch of endings here to unlock if you're interested, and higher "grades" to reach but that means sitting through the live action segments again and I don't think there's a way to speed through them. End of the day, didn't have much fun and was glad when it was over.

Yeah I have done a lot of that additional stuff in A&A.
I agree with NfB, I enjoyed when I played it the first time and then they made a VR mode but I don't think I could play it again if it's the same stuff but in VR, sadly.
