Are there games you want to play, but just don't find the time? Setting a target might help.
The challenge is to complete three (or more) games a month.
It doesn't matter how long or short the games are, or if you're near the end already. If it's unclear if something counts as a finished game, you should go with your own judgment. There aren't any hard rules.
Please post the games you hope to finish, but also share your successes, setbacks and impressions. :)

I finished:
The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit: Starting early, I finished it on the 1st. There was a lot to do in a small area, which is great. It was effective at making me concerned about Chris getting into trouble. Hopefully the lack of time powers doesn't hold back season 2 (I haven't played Before the Storm).
Dragon Quest: Finished on the 9th. This was for the third time, not the first, but I intend to finish the first three Dragon Quest games before Dragon Quest XI releases. It will be the second time for DQ2 and 3.
Dragon Quest II: Finished on the 29th. The mobile release. This was the second time I finished it, but this time in preparation for Dragon Quest XI. It's a great game despite some unclear parts that call for a walkthrough. One thing that stood out this playthrough was some of the storytelling:

You arrive at the villain, Hargon's, castle only to find it appears to be your kingdom...but it can't be. Talk to some NPCs and they praise Hargon's rule in a distorted twist of what they've said before. You have an item that is meant to see through the deception, and indeed this was just an illusion as you can now see it become the villain's castle instead of your own. A kicker is if you buy anything, sell anything or sleep in the inn in the illusory town, it all appears to have gone as it should, but if you leave the town or break the illusion, your gold, items, health and magic points turn out to be unaffected by what you did in the illusion.
