Are xenoblade chronicles, monster hunter 4 ultimate, and bravely default also good choices you think?
Monster Hunter could please you thanks to its several RPG elements and its focus on action/search. The storyline is only existent for a few hours in order to teach you the basics of the game, that is why I did not list it: if you skip the things you are told during this short introduction (if you have never played one of those games before), you will be totally lost in what you can and/or should do. Plus, that makes it hard "to get into quickly", you really have to observe the ennemies while they are still easy to fight, read the abilities you have access to (or simply copy/paste some settings ffound on the Internet. The good thing is this solo
tutorial allows you to really participate to the game in multiplayer missions, if you have at least done half of it.
The other "detail" you should know is that there is no actual level-up (for the player at least). The sense of progression is build through progressive unlocking of equipments and raising difficulty. That's why the game can be pretty addictive.
(well, to be fair, you can also simply rush to the end of the game like a norvegian berserker with no understanding of the game, we always find beginners lost in end game while they ignore absolutely everything of the system and need to be carried to the next level like they did almost from start)
Short bits of play are possible: you have 50minutes usually to clear a mission but it is to allow youyou to do what you want (behavior observation, harvest, etc). A mission can be cleared in 3 to 30minutes, a bit more if you try multiplayer missions alone when you are "under-leveled".
