I got to thinking about GotD, and what games I've played and/or have access to, and I thought, "gee, I wonder if I could play a different game from that day's matches every day of the contest?"

The answer is no. There's some divisions with broad gaps for me. However, I managed to fill out a decent swath of games. Here's what it would look like if I tried, based on my bracket, which I concede has possibilities you'll contend with...

D1 - What Remains of Edith Finch
D1 - Bastion
D2 - VVVVVV
D2 - Danganronpa 2
D3 - Bayonetta
D3 - ???
D4 - ???
D4 - South Park: The Stick of Truth
D5 - ???
D5 - Dishonored
D6 - Civ 5 or Slay the Spire
D6 - Tomb Raider or Disco Elysium
D7 - ???
D7 - Terraria or Crusader Kings II
D8 - Crypt of the Necrodancer
D8 - Hearthstone/Divinity: Original Sin II

D1 - Life is Strange
D2 - Fallout 4
D3 - Undertale/Shovel Knight
D4 - Ori and the Blind Forest (or buy Cuphead)
D5 - Stardew Valley
D6 - Super Meat Boy
D7 - Diablo III
D8 - Celeste

D1 - Hollow Knight
D2 - Borderlands 2
D3 - Undertale/Shovel Knight
D4 - RDR/XBC (buy)
D5 - Fallout: New Vegas
D6 - Sonic Mania/RDR2 (buy)
D7 - MGS5/B:AC (buy)
D8 - Mario Kart 8

D12 - DQXI/RE2 (buy)
D34 - SMO
D56 - Portal 2
D78 - TLOU/N:A (buy)

QF12 - ME2
QF34 - P5 or DS (buy)

SF1 - Breath of the Wild
SF2 - Witcher 3/Skyrim

Final - Witcher 3/Skyrim

So I'd whiff on 10 of those days unless I busted out my wallet. And that's assuming everything went according to plan...which, of course, it won't.

But what about you? Would you be able to finish this challenge? (I recommend working backwards.)

Do you have to finish the game? Because you're probably not finishing any of BotW/Witcher/Skyrim in one day.

Nah. Just sit down for one play session. Obviously 90% of the bracket can't be finished in one day unless you're assuming you'll be home and devoid of responsibility due to the quarantine.

Yeah I could do it pretty easily. The only two I don't have is Skyrim and Witcher, but my gf owns Skyrim and Witcher is on the Xbox Game Pass right now.

Although my sister is borrowing Odyssey and BotW so getting them back in time for their matches would be tough, but other than that it seems pretty fun
