Another vote for Contrast. 9/10 in my book, and at 3h:15m (median play time) it should be very much finishable (is that a word?) in one week. It took me longer than 3 hours, but that's because I'm slow.

Contrast and The Bird Story. You can also try Back to bed.
This War of Mine and The Talos Principle are also great, but I think you probably need more time.
Anyway, happy Thanksgiving!!!
Edit: I change my mind since your time is limited.

As far as I see and know, Contrast is one of easiest game to 100%. Limbo is getting really hard on last achievement.
Edit: Or you can play Clicker Heroes, cause it's free. It takes about 11 weeks to beat it, judging from Astats.

Oh. I forgot that you are not that type of addict. Oh well, back to drying games to 100% .-.

Yeaaaaaah. You are definitely not an addict in the first place.

Banner Saga!!!!
Valkyria Chronicles is great too but it can be bloody frustrating at times since the strats needed to get a decent rank makes no bloody sense -.-.
Comment has been collapsed.
Most definitely. It is short by rpg standards (I have about 11h logged though that might also include idle time) and it is a must play imo. The final boss is a bit annoying but once you figure him out, it is rather simple.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's possible. :) (and it's very easy to play it in chunks... and you'll want to finish it, because People. Awesome people you get to know along the way).
I'll second Banner Saga. I have 32 hours logged, but I did 2 or 3 playthroughs and juggled saves a bit.
As for the rest, from those I've played - To the Moon, A Bird Story, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter - you can probably beat each in one sitting/session/day (3-5 hours)

All. Yes. Voted for pillars but beating it will probably take more then a week

Congrats on the new home! That's a really exciting time in life! :)
My vote's going toward's "This War of Mine" as it's one the the more emotional games I have played in the recent years. 10/10 :D

Is it really so good to live in denial Student? :)
I'm not sure if your question is serious, but here is my modest proposal. Just choose a game - you have great games there - and simple enjoy it.
Congratulations on your new home

I try to live in denial, and just thinking aloud, I'm sorry if some confusion occurred. :)
In any case, I think my answer is good - select the game and enjoy it. Without caring for achievements or how much time will you need to finish it.

It saddens me that Pillars of Eternity isn't winning the vote.
Congrats on your new home!

Yeah, it does seem super long, but the one that's winning is too.

Congrats on the new home, i just moved a few months ago myself. It's hectic, but very much worth it.
Comment has been collapsed.
This War of Mine or The Vanishing of Ethan Carter are rather straight games, very nice and not too challenging.
While Pillers of Eternity or Tales of Zestiria can last whole weeks if not months
so those 2 are my pick. I heard that especially This War of Mine is game which you 'feel' not only play
not talking about giving them away, just my simple recommendation most of people won't mind though :D

Am I to assume in just 2.7 hours
Barbie™ Dreamhouse Party™
2.7 hrs on record
You have mastered and completed Barbie™ Dreamhouse Party™

Savage Lands doesn't have a campaign. It's just survival and exploration btw.

Exactly right, there's no "winning" that one. (although I guess you could say you won if you can take down the dragon) but then, even the bears are a nightmare if you don't use a shelter exploit!

Congrats on the new home! I hope you have enough room there for a BARBIE shrine.
And regarding the backlog - I would say To the Moon is the closest to must-play. And it isn't very long.

Do not choose Pillars of Eternity, the game is huge o.o
Comment has been collapsed.
I doubt i can beat it in a week
And you are right!
The winning game in the poll is a fairly good choice tho, but my vote went to The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, which you also get the 'remake' version for free, i say 'remake' because it only added even more HD textures!

Only fair you experience the same feeling everyone else did when they tried to solve your easy puzzles.

Congratulations on the new house! From a college student to a home owner? O.O

Oh, also, I voted for The Talos Principle because, well, it's sort of student related if you stretch, and the demo blew my mind so it definitely deserves to be played. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
You reminded me to 100% Back to Bed :) One achievement remains. It's very short, btw. Around 1-1.5 hours to beat the story. I voted for Limbo. It's also very short and with autumn gloom mood, imho. Contrast must be also a good candidate while it's a bit longer. Tales of Zestiria (which is currently winning) is actually a long game, but if you like it you might easily finish main story in a week.
Oh, and congrats with new home ^^

I didn't play it so can't say much, but from what I've seen here and there it's long enough (at least for me). And HWTB (see link in the previous comment) only proved it - it says ~45 hours for main story.

You can bumrush Limbo in less than a day. Unless you're going for the 100% of course.
Comment has been collapsed.
You're not even going to enjoy it. I mean, you could skip dialogues as if they were sunday masses, grind just enough to beat the bosses, ignore the sidequests and finish the game, but it's like eating a popsicle with a hair dryer aimed at it.

i would recommend pillars of eternity, but i think one week won't be enough to beat and enjoy it (maybe if you rush it).
anyway, i voted for it xD

FF XIII gave me a lots of hours. Perhaps you will enjoy it.
Comment has been collapsed.
As far i've seen.
from that list, your better choice is Contrast
Comment has been collapsed.
I have to say that while I play a few games at once so I can mix it up from time to time... This war of Mine completely hooked me. You can play multiple times and I got around 100% of the achievements within 20 hours. I would highly recommend it.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm the same way, thats why I have to switch between games before I get bored or quit playing for days. Didn't happen with that game though. Hope it makes it into your picks :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I highly recommend This War of Mine, it was one of the best games I ever played. If you play 2-3 hours a day you can get all the achievements in one week.
Comment has been collapsed.
I know you want to play Tales of Zestiria, so here's a +1 :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Ok, changed to Sakura Spirit ( o Y o )
I think many of the games (especially those with the higher number of votes) will be hard to beat within a week (assuming you don't want to finish them the shortest possible route, because what's the point of this...)
Comment has been collapsed.
If you want to beat the game in a week, you should either try Remember Me, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter or LIMBO. Depending on of you want to use a guide, you can beat the last 2 in a day. Back to Bed, A Bird Story and To the Moon would be beatable in a day, too.
Comment has been collapsed.
From the games that are right now in Top 7, a try for a game beatable in a week is The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. Contrast would be a good choise for it, too, from what i saw of the game. I think at least Tales and FF XIII should be impossible if you don't play 8+ hours a day, Talos Principle and War of Mine would be hard to do, too.
Comment has been collapsed.
Talos would be finishable in a week, and since you have 5 hours played it will be a good start. But that will depend on how well you do on the more complex puzzles. If you want to definitely finish a game that week, you probably should look if you can find some average times to complete, will be some help to decide.
Tales and Pillars should be at least at 40+ hours to finish, most likely much much longer, would be better to wait then. But there are enough games on the list that you can finish in the time, and most likely some will make if in the top places.

Wow... 1800+ games, and you don't have Valiant Hearts: The Great War? Such an engaging story!
I would start with one of the shorter games since your time is limited (moving is SO exhausting!!) I'd say to start with Contrast; it's really good. Short, but good! Back to Bed is a fun puzzle game, and shouldn't take up a whole lot of time, either.
Selfishly-speaking there are two in particular that I'd vote for if I had two votes to cast, and those would be Toren and Valkyria Chronicles.
Nice to see you posting, Student ^__^
