Mini‑games can provide refreshing breaks or thematic depth when woven into a main plot. What game do you think best integrates mini‑games into its core narrative where side activities feel like essential story beats rather than distractions?

I think “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild” does a great job integrating mini-games naturally into its world. Side challenges like shrine puzzles and combat trials add depth to the main story, making exploration and gameplay feel seamless and engaging.

Yakuza 0' masterfully weaves arcade challenges into the narrative, making them feel like authentic side hustles for the protagonists rather than detached distractions.
