Ok, my gf is at her parent's house for a week. This means VIDEOGAAAAMESSS!!!

I don't plan to 100% them (just if doesn't require too much extra time), just the main story is enough. I'd like to beat at least one game a day. Suggestions?

Games I've beaten:

  1. DuckTales Remastered (sunday)
  2. Papo Y Yo (monday)
  3. The Stanley Parable (tuesday)
  4. Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons (wednesday)
  5. Trauma (thursday)
  6. Dear Esther (thursday)
  7. Morningstar: Descent to Deadrock (thursday)
  8. Spy Chameleon - RGB Agent (saturday)
  9. Back To Bed (saturday)
  10. Lili: Child of Geos (sunday)
  11. Ittle Dew (sunday)
  12. Last Knight: Rogue Rider Edition (monday)
  13. Woolfe - The Red Hood Diaries (monday)

Not beaten:

  • Castle of Illusion

Speaking of that, wasn't there a website which could tell you the average time needed to beat a game? Looked into my bookmarks but I couldn't find it. Seems like it was howlongtobeat, maybe they changed the graphics since my last visit. Are we sure those times are correct?

Also, do you play Travian and/or How To Survive?


Update: The week's almost over (actually, it was a bit more) and my gf will be back soon. In the end I didn't play as much as I had thought in the beginning because there's always stuff to do -_-
In this period, as you can see, I managed to finish 13 games (main story, plus some 100%) and I've also hit my 1000th achievement [insert second pic here], even if I hink the #1001 was more suited (suitable?) for the occasion [insert third pic here]. I had started another one but wasn't able to finish it in time.

Thanks for every comment, thanks to those I went to my Steam library and found games buried in the backlog I wanted to play for a while. I'll try your suggestions in the future (feel free to leave more if you want), next time could be during christmas (if I don't find a job in the meantime and I won't have to visit many friends/relatives). Since then I think I'll pass most of times trying to complete-more some of these games I've beaten and maybe complete some more.

here it is http://howlongtobeat.com/, to the moon is amazing but is longer than one hour, especially if you include the free dlc. if you are looking for a short game deponia it is not that long ( i didn t play it yet but i plan to and some time ago i checked on howlongtobeat)

If you play deponia, you have to play the whole trilogy, the single games for themselves are just not full games... Anyway, one of the best adventures I ever played, absolutely worth the time:)

Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons and Woolfe - The Red Hood Diaries are both quite short (2-3 hours each)

Really?

Brothers is one of my top-priority to play. Never started 'cause I thought it was a long game.. installing it right now, thanks!! :D

I've just read bad news about Woolfe, a real pity :( was kinda eager to play it since its trailer etc promised good things :(

one gamer per day? most games take 8 to 12 hours to finish.
ill choose Dead Space, if you think you can, haven't played it for awhile but it's probably more than 8 hours

I think the only time i played a game in one sitting was GTA V, just the story and some side missions, it was on ps3 and the online portion wasnt working at the time

yup, I know but I don't have 24h a day free. I still have to do all the house works like cooking, cleaning etc. ..that's why I wrote at least
I'm trying to keep social interations at minimum though :D

Also, I'm not much of a speedrunner, I like to look around, explore, give attention to the job they made (if it's worth)

I was having a look at the times stated by howlongtobeat and many games seems shorter than I thought. Guess I've spent too many hours on RPGs and open world.

You played Limbo for 5 hours and haven't finished it?

Others from your collection that you should absolutely invest some time in:

Bastion

Betrayer

Mark of the Ninja

Fallout New Vegas - needs more than the week you have, but definitely need to play that before the big release in November! I'm currently replaying it now, it's awesome.

I was stuck in a place I don't even remember in Limbo and put it away. Something with cogs I'd say. But it was a couple of years ago, definitely time tho change that!

Bastion was becoming a bit too hard and I took a pause longer than expected. Tried again some time ago and I've forgotten most of commands -_- (same problem I'm having with Batman AC)

Betrayer is in my to-play list :)

I was playing and enjoying Mark of the Ninja but I stopped probably because of university exams, and then I've started playing new ones.. Gotta give it another chance (probably I've forgotten also all of its commands) -_-

Started Fallout NV for the Playfire achievements and seemed a bit too demanding (in matter of time and pc resources), I'm leaving those kind of games for better times (do they exist? hope so!).

Thanks :)

Thomas Was Alone is short, I 100%'d it in 3 hours.
Cubetractor took me 2.5h to finish the main story.

Had Cubetractor in my wishlist for a while but never tried it once owned (got it for free with that huge site giveaway)

Seems very good but I don't have it.
Even if I were to buy and finish it the same day, the Backlog wouldn't suffer from that. He needs to know I am the one in charge!

jk, he's the boss :v

Bastion then; it's the spiritual predecessor to Transistor and has many of the same strengths!

You've got huge backlog :D But most of them are long games.

I'd pick Polarity, Out there somewhere, Dust: an elysian tail, Antichamber, Brothers: tale of two sons and maybe Bastion :D

I know.. lately I've able to get games but not to play them.. bundle fever is the worst! Luckily I'm slowly recovering from it =P

Thanks for your suggestions :D Dust and Antichamber were the close to being played before the bundle fever :P
Finished installing Brothers right now.. hopefully it will recognize my controller! it says full support..

Brütal Legend is a great game (at least if you are into metal) that won't take too long. I got 8 hours in that game and in that time I finished it and did a whole bunch of other stuff (like driving around and listening to the music for half an hour :p)

Played the DRM-free version, really liked what I've seen. Arrived pretty far in the game but got stuck in one of those battle stages (they kinda ruin the game ihmo) :(

A.I.M. 2 seems pretty fun, though I have no clue how long it is (never beat it), and I'd also recommend Enclave. Both are pretty old but good.

To tell you the truth, I've had this game since one of the first bundles I've bought but I don't remember checking it. Seems nice! It jumped up some positions in my to-play list, thanks! :)

ah mann, i try to scratch my backlog as well.. unfortunately its made from gorilla glass i guess, it isnt working :/

anyway my suggestion is to play one of those two games you own:

  • Hitman: Absolution (very nice underrated killer game, you can kill your targets in a lot different ways)
  • METAL SLUG 3 (good solid old school platformer)

Mine wasn't that bad until some time ago, when the bundle fever got me.
Lately I've been trying to limit the purchase of new games, unless it's really an unmissable occasion.

Ooh, totally skipped Hitman! I was tempted to play it as soon as I bought it but I was very busy and left it for later.. this was a nice time >_<
Used to play Metal slug serie at the arcade with friends when we were young. Never finished one though =P Not played yet because the idea is to play it in co-op with a friend.

Wow you've done 60% feats I've achieved for 10 months this year in one week. Congrats!

I've beaten a shy 20 games this year so far. Need 4 more to make it average one game done every month. =\

I'll do Woolfe probably, seeing it's a short game.

I was alone for 10 days, I could have made much more!
There was always something to do that couldn't be missed.. so I ended up skipping some unnecessary things like eating, sleeping, etc. =P
Also, TRAUMA and Dear Esther are very short.

Problem is, many of the achievements I've missed are within my grasp, so I'll pass another insane amount of hours to get them =P
Hope the backlog won't grow too much in the meantime!

EDIT: Woolfe is the last one I've beaten. Really nice. A pity the company went bankrupt, I'd have really liked to see more :(
