The challenge is to finish three or more games in a month.
It doesn't matter how long or short the games are, or if you're already near the end. Sometimes what counts as finishing a game can be fuzzy, so you can use your own judgement. There aren't any hard rules.
Having this goal can be a good reminder to pick up some old saves, and motivation to continue games through the occasional frustrating times. Some months can be harder than others, and different people have different circumstances, but three can often be an achievable goal to push for.
Please post your goals for the month, and please share your triumphs and setbacks and impressions of the games you play as the month goes by.
How Long to Beat is a big help, as a guide to how much longer a game will take.
52 Games. 1 Year. 2016. is a thread for if you're looking for a bigger challenge.

I finished:
Abzû: Finished on the 2nd. It's highly reminiscent of thatgamecompany games, as the art director of Flower and Journey and the composer of those and Flow both worked on it. Its structure is also reminiscent of those games.
WarioWare: Touched: Finished on the 12th. I got it for free with Club Nintendo. I hadn't played a WarioWare game before. It would have been amazing when it was new as a way to show off the DS, and is still an interesting diversion.
Mobius Final Fantasy: Chapters 1 & 2: It's an episodic game and Chapters 1 and 2 were released here at the same time so I choose to count them together. I almost consider it an idle game, mostly having it auto-battle. Finished on the 14th.
Inside: Finished on the 29th. It's a wonderful game and a big improvement over Limbo, with many great moments and a handful of excellent ones. It's one of the best games of the year.

Need for Speed I think I'm about half way through, and Trials I just started last night.
