There's a pretty good Solitaire game built into the Zachtronics game Shenzhen IO.

Almost every Zachtronics game had some kind of solitaire. Thereβs an android app that has a collection of them.
I don't remember one in TIS-100 or Infinifactory.
Burger Flipper in Selaco.
You need to find a datapad with the game on it, and it's just a stupid auto-clicker, but damn if it doesn't scratch that itch in the monkey brain for "number go up."
Plus, Selaco, the base game, is really damn fun.
The tile placement game in Satisfactory is worth a mention. I never fully understood the points system, so I never really rode the game to decent scores, but it was a fun break from the vast size of the rest of the game.
That arcade shooter in Blades of Steel
Hell yes.
It makes me so mad that Namco patented load screen minigames for long enough that load screens have kinda gotten scarce and short enough that we donβt need the time waster anymore.
Earthborn in Eastward. It's a rogue like turn based rpg, and it's sick. Also you can use money you collect in Eastward to buy capsules that contain items that you can use inside Earthborn. Really cool idea executed perfectly. I played more of Earthborn than I did Eastward.
Eastward is one of my favorite games I've ever played. My only significant criticism is that I spent most of the game looking forward to how all the loose ends to the story would be explained and tied together and then it just ended without that really happening.
Legend of the Mystical Ninja has a Gradius style video game inside of it that was so good that when I quit playing it I had completely forgot I was inside another video game.
Mario Party 5 has a side game (not a mini game) called Card Party that is good enough to be its own mobile game.
I hate minigames, the only one i tolerated was Gwent in Witcher 3.
Same. Iβm playing GTA San Andreas on mobile (through Netflix if you interested) and while the game holds up, all the minigames suck ass. Iβm likely not going to complete a single one. Maybe Iβll cave and do burglaries for infinite sprint, but probably not.
Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal had a side scrolling Captain Quark game that was quite good
Pretty much every minigame in Majora's Mask is making you forget the world is ending
Any love for DOOM 3βs Super Turbo Turkey Puncher 3? It was so dumb but I will admit to loving the way you interact with computers and terminals in DOOM 3
I loved the Showtime crashes in Burnout Paradise. I know most people would say that it was a sorry excuse for a replacement to the Crash mode that came before in the previous Burnout games, but I never played any other than Paradise so I canβt compare
the game.
Fk I lost
Don't know if it would count since it's used in a couple levels, I think, but PVZ Reflourished, Caliginous Carnival. The levels where you essentially have to pay attention to the zombies beneath the hats and guess which is the weaker one in order to make the spawns easier to deal with. Rinse and repeat multiple rounds until you win. Would absolutely love to see that done more.
Also, along the lines of PVZ, iZombie is definitely up there for my favorite minigame in the series and in general. It absolutely sucks both versions of PVZ2 killed it (unless I'm wrong and the Chinese version still has the old PVP mode, but even then wasn't nearly as fun as the original minigame, nor anywhere near as balanced when half the time you'd find other players had level 4/5 plants that instantly destroy everything in 0.001 nanoseconds).
