- Please make sure your games are sorted by completion before applying.
- If you so desire and you have at least 5 unplayed SG wins, the 5 games can be picked out of your SG wins (instead of only 2/5). Just note it in your application comment.
- Note in your post if you're ok playing multiplayer only games.
- Same for Early Access (I know some people want to wait for release).
- When you finish one (or more) of the games picked for you, please post an update by replying to your picker's comment.
- If the game has achievements, you can link to either the Steam or Astats page corresponding to your progress.
- If the game doesn't have achievements, please post a screenshot showing your completion.
- Finally, if you have completed all the games that were assigned to you but want another go at it, feel free to post another application.
- You can pick for/challenge up to 2 fellow assassins, please refrain to pick more so everybody who wants get a chance at it.
- You can pick for anybody who has applied and hasn't been given a list yet, unless they specified otherwise (see next point). It is recommended to signal with a "reserved" comment that you're currently picking for that person. This way it'll avoid the situation where you spend time picking games just to come back to somebody's comment 2 minutes prior.
- Please use the following criteria when picking a list for somebody.
- Pick exactly 5 games
- Length-wise: at least 2 short games (under 10h to beat) and 2 medium (under 15-20h). You can use HLTB to check the time, or more conveniently the Enhanced Steam browser extension (it shows the HLTB time directly on the game's steam page). That rule can be overridden by the bottom (i.e. pick 5 short games) but not the other way around, as not everybody has the same time to dedicate to gaming.
- Pick two SG wins unless the person specified SG wins only, in which case pick only in the applicant's SG wins list.
- Quality-wise: at least 3 of the 5 games should have a positive (or above) rating. You can use this site to quickly sort games in a user's library by ratings (thanks to JaffaCaffa for the suggestion).
- Please, respect the applicant's choice regarding multiplayer-only and Early access games, as well as other requests (exclusion of certain genre etc.).
- Please use the code below to post your comment, it's already formatted, you just have to copy/paste & complete the data.
Do I have to participate in this event?
No, this is an event to help you reduce your backlog. If you already have a plan and don't want anyone to pick games for you, you're free to ignore it.
What happens if I don’t participate in the event?
Absolutely nothing.
What happens if I play all the games picked for me this month?
Still nothing. (You might get a shiny profile badge at some later date. And you can come back for another batch.)
What if I don’t have time to play 5 games?
Don’t worry, one is enough, we’re just asking the pickers to select 5 to give the player a little choice.
One of the game picked for me won’t run on my computer for X or Y reason, what do I do?
If this happens, please notify the picker by replying his comment and ask them to pick a replacement. If the original picker don’t give you an answer within 24h, don’t panic, just leave a comment and we’ll pick one for you. Meanwhile, you could try one of the other picked games if you haven't played them all yet.
I played all 5 games that were picked for me and I want more!
If you have completed all 5 games and reported your completion to the original comment, you can make a new request for another list.
When picking for other people, can I only pick “never played” games?
Not necessarily, you can also pick games that seem to have been abandoned but haven’t been categorized as “won’t play”. No beaten or completed games, or games being currently played obviously.
Why are there so many rules for picking the games? I can’t be bothered!
We’re trying to make this enjoyable for everyone so if you decide to pick games for others, please read and follow the rules. I’ve tried to make it as easy as possible for the pickers too, but if it’s bothering you too much, remember you don’t need to pick games for others to join the challenge.
I’m new here, can I join the challenge?
Yes of course (and welcome to BLAEO). Please just be sure to have your games sorted by progress before signing up for the challenge, to make it easier for your picker.
- She remembered caterpillars - HLTB Time: 4 hours
- Scribblenauts Unlimited - HLTB Time: 7 hours
- Alan Wake - HLTB Time: 11 hours
- Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition - HLTB Time: 9 hours

Nice choose, thanks! (If this list is for me)
I don’t even have to download Ori and the Blind Forest since it’s installed and waiting for me pretty long time.
woops I meant to reply to your comment. Awesome, its a great game!
She remembered caterpillars and Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition are beaten!
First one is pretty short cute puzzle for few hours with good relaxing background music and Ori is awesome. Can’t believe it was downloaded and waiting for me for a year I guess. I thought about completing it, but meh… I died almost 1000 times so I think I can’t beat it without a single death xd
Thanks for the pick!
Glad you enjoyed them! Yeah the beat without dying achievement is crazy. I dont think I’ll ever go for that one

HOGs=Hidden object games? Thanks for the picks, I will try my best! :D
Yep, that xD
Have fun :3
Hey, just a quick update since the next “challenge me”-event has already started: The Uncertain, Glass Masquerade and Life is Strange: Before the Storm are completed. Summer in Mara is beaten (just 1 achievement missing) and I’m still in the middle of Assassin’s Creed. Thanks again for your picks! I especially enjoyed Glass Masquerade way more than I thought I would :)
I know, right? O.O
I loved it! While I also liked the second one, the first one is clearly the nicer one <3
Glad you enjoyed the picks! Good luck with the last two :3

Oh it’s on already :)
Working on it. ;)
- BioShock™ Remastered - HLTB Time: 12h - underwater
I love that game. I am currently playing it again (my fourth time). :D - Machinarium - HLTB Time: 5h
Another game I have enjoyed. :3 - My Brother Rabbit - HLTB Time: 3-4h
Have yet to play this game. - Slime Rancher - HLTB Time: 15h - interaction with water
I have said that many times already, but this is a great game (have 250hours in it). I always smile like stupid when playing it. :D - Costume Quest 2 - HLTB Time: 6-7h
Played and enjoyed the first one, hope the second one is also enjoyable. ;)
If you want anything repicked, let me know. Have fun! :3
XD I challenged moony to the 1st part of costume quest, now number 2 has been challenged nice
Oh those are nice picks thanks :)
Slime Ranger was a christmas gift so it’s about time I finally play it =)
I think I will keep BioShock and Costume Quest 2 for the second half of the challenge time as they also fit next months PAGYWOSG :D
Time to dust off my old BLAEO account. Anything in unfinished or never played is fair game.
reserved finished :3
INSIDE | 5h |
Death Rally (Classic) | 5h |
Kingdom: Classic | 7h |
eXperience 112 | 12h |
AI War: Fleet Command | 15h |
I’ve seen you have a good chunk of playtime in Kingdom classic already, so if you have that reasonably finished can switch it out for the the next/extended entry:
Kingdom: New Lands | 10h |
The list contains 4 of my favourite games that I can all absolutely recommend.
Plus one I always was interested about (eXperience 112), looks like a cool concept, would be nice to know how good it is.
^_^
Update: Finished Death Rally! It took me 119 races in normal difficulty :/ Pretty good game, if a little grindy. Also when you get the best car the ai starts performing way too perfectly, that was a bit annoying. All in all a good classic game, I enjoyed the ride.
Oh what ever. Go for it. Anything from unplayed (as long as 1 always goes before 2 etc) or my pop list is okay. Pls no super duper long games. And I’ll most likely go for completionist time :3
Thanks in advance \o/
- Broken Sword 3 - the Sleeping Dragon - HLTB Time: 9½ Hours / 10 Hours - There is a screenshot with a ship ;)
- Higurashi When They Cry Hou - Ch.4 Himatsubushi - HLTB Time: 5 Hours / 6½ Hours
- Life is Strange: True Colors - HLTB Time: 10 Hours / 13½ Hours

Hope you will enjoy them :) Let me know if anything should be switched
I totally didn’t think about the monthly… O.O
Aaaaaaaaah. Broken Sword AND Monkey Island AND The Raven… dies Ok, I’ll do this!
Definitely too many P&Cs if you ask me, but I normally avoid them, so suits me right. No need to chance, I’ll… get to them nods
And ty :3
Oh no! I can switch one of them if you like? :) Don’t want to be too cruel ;)
Ok, uhm… maybe one less P&C? Higurashi and LiS is just fine :3
Okay switched… I mean it also has the Point & Click tag, but I heard you like HOGs :D
So to shock you I have planned to do a P&C challenge next year like my HOG challenge this year. 52 P&C games in one year =D
Dunno who’s telling that… but they are right xD
OMG! You must be nuts! Plus… I won’t make the 52 HOGs, although I have enough sobs
Thanks for the swap :3
Monkey Island down. And damn that was just like I remembered it… only different graphics xD
Ha great! So only one P&C to go :D
Played it myself some time ago, brought up some childhood memories :)
Higurashi done - the afterparty was so stupid -.-
Like the rest though. Finally not such a gruesome games as the ones before xD
Haha I will never understand what people like so much about Visual Novels, next to the Trading Cards and often quite easy cheevos of course ;)
Nailed the HOG :3
Life is Strange: True Colors - finished \o/
Took me forever to realize who Steph was O.O
I liked it. I might have to play it a second time, but… I’ll have to think about the approach a bit xD
Considering I so far played EVERY one of the games a second time… Yeah, I really need to!
I give up on Broken Sword. I’m too stupid for the controls - which I first had to get to work. I’ll read a summary and put it aside -.-
Uh… that means, I got them all? O.O
Oh crap :( I have only played the first one yet, so I didn’t know :(
How about a last minute switch for a game which fits the current monthly theme? :D
But if not: Congrats for beating all games! =D
Damn hi
I bet you also would’ve picked Life is Stange right? :D
hmm idk, like I feel like nin would’ve played it sooner then later anyway. I wasn’t planning on taking part or picking anyway. That damn was purely for the whole woah wait nin is here? Damn. I probably wouldve picked for ninny though if I saw no reserves
Haha, yeah, surprise visit xD

Looks interesting, I’m in. Currently I’m finishing Iron Danger and Tropico 4 so there will be 4 SG wins I played this month so I’d like to play something else, preferably short.
So who can pick me some games?
I believe stef picked for you, games are in the comment below.
Thanks :)
