Copy pasta of copy pasta of copy pasta of copy pasta of 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 Resident Evil 4
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 seven 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 6th when the next 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 see you when its warmer outside..

P.S. I'm hoping to start sending out invites to the prize around mid-May, but you are free to post before that. If there is any changes/updates, I'll post them here as well as add a tag to the title.

Small update:

Invites will begin next week and be put on pause on May 13/14th. Invites will resume on June 2nd until the end of the event. If you have completed your set, please post as soon as possible so I can catch you within the first round. If not, you will have to wait.

Furthermore, I will not be available to answer any questions during this time. If you want something cleared up, ask it now.

Update #2: I'll be around in some form till the end of the event. There should be minimal delay in answering questions/invites

Hi Cjcomplex
May I ask what you are looking for in Surviving the Aftermath?

Hey, not cj but there's a splash screen that explicitly says the main questline of the game has been completed. It's associated with the Doomsday is Canceled achievement and is what I used as the endpoint for the game.

Thanks for reply :)
Doomsday is Canceled seems (according astats) attached to a dlc i don't have, this one => https://store.steampowered.com/app/1803780/Surviving_the_Aftermath_New_Alliances/
That's a mistake or you can confirm?

I do not have the DLC but was able to earn that achievement. It's connected to the Doomsday Bunker project in the base game. I'm not entirely sure why it says you need that DLC for it.

I had noted that someone in a previous Monthly in a month had noted this but I couldn't find the message. Maybe it was you ^^
I found it strange when I looked at astats.
I went to Gas Station Sim for the moment but it may be the next one :)
Anyway, thanks for your confirmation and for your time.

Thank you a million for this. I looked into but I was having trouble finding a spot that I was happy with.

As KoRayven noted, "Doomsday is canceled" is the requirement. It is part of the base game, but the achievement was introduced when the dlc was released (hence the astats tag). It seems the game didn't have a true "end" when it released.

The plan was to do Middle-earth: Shadow of War as one of the longer games but I can't bring myself to finish it. I beat the final boss and completed the main storyline and most of the side content at the end of Act III (50+ hours played with overall completion rate: 90%), but the designers thought it was a great idea to add a forth act that has nothing but slow, repetitive, grindy siege battles. No thanks. I'm not wasting 10+ hours of my life on redundant, boring content just to see the credits.

Here's what I have so far:

Game Monthly Status
Behind the Frame May 2023 Beaten "Behind the Frame"
Rollerdrome Apr 2023 Beaten "Champion"
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice Jul 2019 Beaten "The Final Battle"
Shady Part of Me Feb 2023 Beaten "Me"
Little Nightmares Sep 2018 Beaten "The Lady's Quarters"
Windjammers 2 May 2023 Beaten "One Credit"
Gas Station Simulator Aug 2022 Beaten "The Dust Bowl"

I see this is a 2-monthly thing this time - will that be what happens from now on?

Also, I finally played Mafia last month after winning it in one of these events... almost 2 1/2 years ago.
I'm ashamed it took me so long, cos I ended up loving it a lot.

Not with regularity. This was started because rl was in flux and I wasn't sure what my situation was going to be for April/May. There might be a 2 month event around September/October depending on how things play out, but there is a lot of things that need to be resolved/dealt with first before I can say more.

I really liked the 2 months period, it was more relaxed. I was able to play a bigger game (Mafia 3) this time, usually i avoid bigger games for this event because i don't want to rush them.
