Mini games adapted to the universe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For these mini-games to find their place in a title, they must above all be perfectly integrated into this title and its universe.\u00a0This is something that can be found in many titles.\u00a0For example, in the Red Dead Redemption series, it is possible to play poker.\u00a0It is indeed a type of mini-game which finds its place perfectly in the world of the far-west offered by these titles.\u00a0Obviously, you shouldn’t expect as much depth as\u00a0you would with traditional\u00a0poker games,\u00a0so you don’t need to be an expert to be able to get by.\u00a0In the same vein, in several titles of the Yakuza series, you will find karaoke, a very popular hobby in Japan, the universe in which the various titles of this series take place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mini games must have an interest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In order for players to participate in these mini-games, they must be of interest in the game. For example, they may be in the form of a new quest.\u00a0This is for example the case of Gwent, a card game integrated into\u00a0The Witcher 3\u00a0.\u00a0It is indeed a card game on which you must build a deck and face different opponents, before playing a big tournament.\u00a0Although the latter is accessible without completing this quest, it is still advisable to do it if you want to win this tournament and therefore wins new rewards.\u00a0The appeal of the collection also makes it possible to convince the players, the latter being able to win cards bearing the effigy of the various protagonists of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mini games used to pay homage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some titles use mini-games to pay homage.\u00a0This is for example what we find in the Shenmue saga, the first two episodes of which were released on Sega Dreamcast.\u00a0In these titles, you find many arcade terminals, which allow you to play\u00a0Sega\u00a0arcade\u00a0classics, for example, Outrun, Space Harrier, Hang-On, or After Burner 2. This allowed players of the time to discover emblematic Sega titles while integrating them perfectly into the world of the game, that is to say in Japanese metropolises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Especially in open-world video games, mini-games allow players to be better immersed.\u00a0However, for this, they must be perfectly integrated into the game, being perfectly adapted to the game world. In addition, they must add value to the title, for example by constituting an additional quest or by allowing them to obtain new rewards.\u00a0Finally, some titles, such as Shenmue, use mini-games to pay homage, for example to the story of their creators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
