The challenge is to finish at least three games each month. I find that setting a target like this helps to motivate me to finish games I liked but abandoned, as well as to try new games.
There aren't any rules. The games can be long or very short. You could be near the end already or only just beginning. And though it's sometimes unclear what counts as finishing a game, you can use your own judgement.
Please post the games you hope to complete, but also share your successes, setbacks and impressions.
I find How Long to Beat to be a really useful general guide to game lengths.

Best of luck to everyone!

I finished:
Kingdom Hearts III: Finished on the 8th. I was disappointed by the end. I had looked forward to some Pixar worlds, but was disappointed by the relative absence of worlds based on traditional animation. The world I was most interested in was absurdly limited, just being one small area with three variations of a Puzzle Bobble minigame. Towards the end, I wasn't paying attention to the story at all. Sure it's visually impressive how many things are happening on screen, sometimes.
Tetris Effect: Finished Journey mode on the 11th. I'll play it a lot more though, as it's a great way to unwind.
Spyro 3: Finished the remake on the 27th. The reignited trilogy brought new life to the precursors of Ratchet & Clank, one of my favourite series.
I might try for:
Until Dawn: Rush of Blood: I'm up to the fifth level. I like this game but it takes some motivation to load up, perhaps from it being VR, horror and no mid-level saves.
The Legend of Zelda: I'm up to the sixth dungeon, and have been for a few months but now I have a healing potion.
