What are some of the best mini-games youve played? (games inside games) (lemm.ee)

I recently played Alien Isolation, and I noticed all of the “hacking” she does on doors and computers are different types of games, like press the button at the right time, or match the images within a timer, etc.

A lot of games have these mini-games, and I was wondering which you think are the best? Or at least, didn’t get old fast?

SDV doesn’t have depth? 😳

For me it was fun for like 5 hours, but I was massively let down after that. The combat is pretty basic so that got boring quickly, and the new maps pretty much didn't have anything new except new vegetables and enemies with new skins. You learn everything you need to know about the game in the first couple of hours and after that there's no challenge and no real reason to keep making money which makes the grinding pointless. It's a good casual game if you like decorating the farm but it's not my cup of tea.

It’s about the story, which takes game-years.

Ok, that's a good point. I'm glad you enjoy that part of the game. I wasn't really interested in "talking" to NPC-s and giving them gifts so I skipped that part of the game and certainly missed what some people like the most about it. As I said, not my cup of tea.
