Let’s be real, Witcher 3 is just a Gwent launcher.
Also I’ve definitely played more Pazaak than KOTOR.
In another life I wouldn’t understand a word of these sentences lol
Puuure pazaak
I literally could never understand how to play Pazaak. To me it’s just a weird version of Blackjack
I honestly don’t like Gwent. Maybe never got into it enough.
I loved the Chao Garden in the Sonic Adventure games.
Sonic Adventure 2 on Dreamcast was peak Sonic. Those things in the controller had a minigame within a minigame for extra costumes and food for the chao.
Maniac Mansion: day of the tentacle includes the full first maniac Mansion game on weird Ed’s computer in the room with him and the hamster
EverQuest /gems and /pizza
I had a lot more trouble with Maniac Mansion than DotT, I always got all my characters thrown in the dungeon. My favorite thing about it, at least the version on Weird Ed Edison’s computer, was that it played music using the pc speaker, which is now a concept lost to time.
Sonic Adventure 2 has a pretty decent adventure platformer built into it
Triple triad from Final Fantasy 8.
It’s always fishing.
Not a minigame, but Maniac Mansion being within The Day of the Tentacle is probably my fav.
I always thought it was cool that you could play the original maniac mansion in day of the tentacle.
The Wolfenstein 3D minigame contained within Wolfenstein The New Order is probably the best one I’ve come across. I may be biased though since Wolfenstein 3D is probably one of my Top 5 all-time favorite games.
Caravan from Fallout: New Vegas has a notoriously bad tutorial, but is easy enough to grasp and fun as an early-game money source. Would have benefited from a Gwent-style sidequest chain.
I honestly really liked the Zen garden in Plants vs Zombies
Geometry Wars in Project Gotham Racing 2.
I have a love/hate relationship with Nethack’s Sokoban levels.
Yakuza games are the only good Mahjong simulator. I’ve always thought Sega/RGK Studios should release a standalone one based on Yakuza.
All other Mahjong games are shitty western mahjong match tile games.
Astro Chicken (Space Quest III).
