The challenge is to finish three or more games in a month. Having just 28 days this month adds a little more challenge!
It doesn't matter how long or short the games are, or even if you're already near the end. Or if you've finished it before, as long as you wanted to finish it again. What counts as finishing a game can also be unclear, so you should use your own judgment.
Please post the games you hope to finish and share your successes, setbacks and impressions as the month goes by. Best of luck to everyone!
Hopefully these might help:
How Long to Beat is a big help, as a general guide for how big an undertaking a game will be.
The Backloggery is a way to keep track of your games and which ones you've finished.

I finished:
Yakuza 0: Finished on the 6th. The final battles and the great story leave an excellent impression. It will almost certainly be one of my favourite games of the year. I should finish Yakuza 4, 5 and maybe Dead Souls. The only other one I finished is Yakuza 3.
Intimate, Infinite: A Robert Yang game I started months ago but didn't understand how two different parts of it were intertwined so I didn't know how to finish it. I checked an article about it one day this month that had one sentence on the piece I had been missing, and have now solved. This short game has a handful of great moments that make me glad I played it. Finished on the 17th.
No Stars, Only Constellations: Another short Robert Yang game. It wasn't for me, being about stargazing with minimal story. Finished on the 21st.
I will try for:
Resident Evil VII: I'm up to the third area. Since I'm wanting to play it only at night, I'm not playing much of it. I should be able to finish it this month, though.
Mega Man 2: I'm up to the final boss. It's really a great game. I've never finished a Mega Man game before or played more than a level or two.
Dragon Quest VIII: 3DS version. I probably won't finish it this month, due in part to its length and having played through it on PS2 in the past two years. I'm up to Maella Abbey.
Yakuza 4: I bought this years ago but didn't play much of it. I have made a lot of progress this month though, getting up to Part 2, Chapter 3.
