More 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 Metaphor: ReFantazio
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 May 6th 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 don't forget to smack them down!

Game HB Month Status Thoughts? Vibes?
Inkulinati December 2024 Beaten Very fun~ Took a while to get into, but I am almost done. Will most surely complete with all cheevos later on.
Boxes January 2025 Completed Fun! Just like Doors: Paradox, it's less puzzle and more mechanic gadget, but very pretty and fun anyway :)
Shapez September 2022 Beaten Took a while to get into and didn't exactly become fun, but it did get very satisfying. The game tells you it's not an idle, but that's a lie.
Beyond Eyes November 2016 Completed Visually stunning. I don't know if I have ever seen a game in which every gameplay sin is there for a reason before, but now I have. Immaculate vibes.
Life is Strange: True Colors February 2024 Completed Was pretty great, more on the slice of life side. Which is a good thing.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night August 2021 Beaten My previous Castlevania experience is just playing DoS in the DS until I got stuck back when I was a teen. Suffice to say, I'm learning a lot. // IT WAS FUN!

A couple questions:

  1. How is "idle time" distinguished from "play time?"
  2. Since CK3 was ineligible, is Victoria 3 also ineligible? What about other 4X games? Ozymandias?

  1. achievement (meaning if you play the game while this event is active it counts, doesn't matter about idle time but if you did an achievement before this event it's no longer eligible to be played. Also doesn't matter how much idle or play time it took for you, just that you didn't play the game before already and had some progress in it which can only be confirmed if the game have steam achievements)

Hi, sorry for the delayed response.

Regarding Victoria 3, it is not eligible for the event. In general it has the game needs to have an "ending" of some sort or some way to measure someone beating the game (e.g. 100% achievements).

Ozymandias is also not allowed. Please pick something else.

Thanks for the response. Do you mean to say that a game must have win and fail states?

That sort of make senses for the Paradox games because no objective is required except being landed for the whole campaign, but the achievements for Ozymandias say that it's possible to win a game.

Then for visual novels that don't have good and bad endings like Monster Prom, would those be disqualified?

May I know why it does not qualify? Is it because of lack of achievements or lack of 'ending' despite it having a campaign mode?

Not taking part but out of curiosity: I played Dredge after the start of this Miam would it count now that it is in Choice since today?

If you started playing it today, when it became available as part of the Choice bundle, then it would be eligible for the event. If you played the game before the game was available in the bundle, it would not count.

Nice :D

I noticed there were no cheevos for reforging seals, so I took one as proof for the event. (Also, reforging even a bronze seal was pretty exciting and I did want that screenshot myself as well!)
