discussion VNs with good minigames

[badplottwist]

Minigames are polarizing, but some can add a lot of additional fun to a game. Love of Magic is one, where combat is done by playing a type of poker. What are some other VNs with minigames that enhance the experience?

If you don't like minigames, you can head over to rkeith's post and add your thoughts there: Do you genuinely like mini games/combat in games?

I think Summertime Saga is a good example of minigames I like. I can't think of anything else because I avoid games with minigames because it's rare to find some that I like.

I quite like Agent17's minigames

?!?
Good minigames dont exist, so games with good minigames are impossible,

It’s been a million years since I’ve played it, but I remember Little Busters! had an interesting baseball mini game.

The Lost Guardian had a nice little puzzle element that wasn't awful.

Morningstar- same creator as Love of Magic- has a fun Match 3 variant.

Astral Lust has a deckbuilder turn-based combat game that I honestly enjoy more than the sex scenes.

New Antioch has a sort of dialogue puzzle game- your character occasionally has to talk someone out of or into something, and at several points you'll get a three different rhetorical approaches and have to pick the one you think will be most effective on the person you're talking to- that I think is innovative and well-integrated.

The mini games in Being a Dik can be pretty fun, if done right.

And with a touchscreen most of them are veeery easy.

Astral Lust scratched that slay the spire itch with the wacky decks you could make. Hell I want to play that game just for that and not even the actual content.

I liked all the mini-games in BaDIK on the first go around. 2nd and 3rd time to try different paths sucked!

I don't play it, I skip it so as not to play mini game

 

[Magooo]

If the minigame requires me to either use my brain or both hands it's not good.

 

[MattShizzle]

Good minigames are a bit like enjoyable times being kicked in the balls.

 

[LewisCarroll]

Wait, they actually exist?

 

[emmedh]

People really hate minigames, huh? Seems like the devs really missed the memo...

VNs with good minigames ???​

It doesn't exist

 

[Tisty]

I think minigames from summertimes and nlt games are good. The best kind are those with a skip button
