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?

FFX Blitzball is the mini-game that I sunk the most time into by far (100+ hours), and always had fun.

Gwent from Witcher 3 kind of goes without saying, the framework is so good it's spawned 3 full games that I can think of.

Best Hacking mini-game goes to the newer Deux Ex games, quick, the right amount of challenge but if you didn't like it you could basically never do it.

Best lockpicking I'm going to give to Starfield. Literally the only part of the game I actually enjoyed, each is a great little puzzle.

My roommate in college would play Qwent in Witcher 3 and I would find myself glued to the TV.
