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?

For minigames as "games within the game" (e.g., GTA has a lot of these like pool, golf, etc.,) throw another one up for Witcher 3's Gwent!

For minigames as representations of some other mechanic (e.g., hacking, lock picking,) I remember liking the hacking in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. Reminded me of hacking in EVE: Online.

Probe scanning was awesome in EVE too—at least...it was a decade or so ago. Who knows if it's still the same now doe? Not me.

I always found the GTA ones pretty lackluster, even bowling was more fun in the Yakuza games. The videogame arcades and consoles in San Andreas were the only ones that I had fun.
