I think one game had a volleyball minigame that was like pong.
I had just came so I enjoyed it in my post-nut clarity.

 

[EvilChef]

Nah i seriously dislike minigames.

 

[User_58844]

It might. Just never run into one.

 

[akhil_ak]

Nop. Just there for the main course.

I enjoy the minigames in SOME games, if they're completely out of place or are extremely buggy then i hate them but if they're there for good reason and actually add/enhance gameplay then im all for them

"Wriggle Free"/"Escape" mechanics are alright for timing your enjoyment.

 

[Finwin]

No it always feels like padding sometimes I like the mini-game or its so easy it didn't matter, but it has never made me like it more for doing it.

If the mini-games are impossible to skip, that's a sentence for the whole game for me - I delete it. Mini-games break the gameplay and plot of the main game, they cause nothing but irritation and dirty swearing on my part.

gwent made me like witcher 3 more.
some of the pipboy games...

 

[User_111306]

Gwent was the bomb, fantastically fun to play.

 

[MrP]

Not in any way

 

[Yummyjuice22]

Literally all the mini games in the Yakuza games haha.

I'm going to say no. I have played a game where your task at work was to solve the puzzle, and that picture was put in the save gallery, I can't say that it made me appreciate the game anymore

The party planning game in Being a Dik is fun because it actually makes sense and can affect the story.

I'm a fan of the mini games in that game since most of them serve a purpose, but a lot of them seem one off like the tennis game with jill.

 

[LilianN]

No and a lot of it has to do with the technical limitations of the platforms these games are built on. I'm yet to see a minigame that isn't just plain janky.

Minigames can often be annoying, and while something like the impregnation spinner in Summertime Saga makes sense due to its connection with real-life unpredictability, I have yet to come across a minigame that feels well-implemented for me personally.
