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 Sarajevo Six campaign in Hitman 2016: Finished on the 1st. This was a campaign of six missions that was exclusive to the PS4 version. I wondered if it would be legitimate to count this campaign as a game, after I have finished (and in previous months/years, counted) both Season 1 and the Patient Zero campaigns. But trying out the final mission here shows how difficult it is, and I'm on the side of counting it separately. I tried it a bunch of times in the past weeks, and finally succeeded today. It was one of the best hits in the game.
TeenAgent: Finished on the 24th. Puzzles started off fairly sensibly but got absurd and pixel hunty towards the middle. I turned to a walkthrough from there.
Thirty Flights of Loving: Finished on the 27th. It probably lost a little of its effectiveness because I had played Virginia before this, which I wondered while playing this whether it was made by the same developers (it wasn't). I enjoyed it.
I really don't know what I'll play but it might be:
Final Fantasy III: The famicom game. It's showing its age currently, after earlier impressions being more positive. I got the ship. This is the furthest I've gotten in any version of the game.
Shining Force I: I got really far into the second game years ago, but didn't get far into the first game. I'm currently at the start of chapter 2.
