Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal had a side scrolling Captain Quark game that was quite good
the game.
The full 4K version of Timesplitters 2 inside Homefront: The Revolution, but you have to play something like 75% of Homefront to reach it. I’ll reach it one of these days.
Playing Receiver in Receiver 2 was a fun surprise.
The Chao racing from Sonic Adventure on the dream cast. You could take the memory card out and use it as a tamagotchi to care for the little guy and make it train so it gets faster and stronger in the real game.
It got no better than that.
Demontower, found within Night in the Woods. That could easily be a standalone short game
Caravan from Fallout: New Vegas has a notoriously bad tutorial, but is easy enough to grasp and fun as an early-game money source. Would have benefited from a Gwent-style sidequest chain.
Geometry Wars in Project Gotham Racing 2.
The mini pinball game, at the top-right of the Family Guy pinball table(2007).
It is fast paced and well put together.
Yakuza games are the only good Mahjong simulator. I’ve always thought Sega/RGK Studios should release a standalone one based on Yakuza.
All other Mahjong games are shitty western mahjong match tile games.
Let’s be real, Witcher 3 is just a Gwent launcher.
Also I’ve definitely played more Pazaak than KOTOR.
I fucking love Gwent AND the fact that it’s horribly unbalanced (in The Witcher 3)
In another life I wouldn’t understand a word of these sentences lol
Puuure pazaak
I literally could never understand how to play Pazaak. To me it’s just a weird version of Blackjack
I honestly don’t like Gwent. Maybe never got into it enough.
Triple triad card game from FF8? Also the card game in FF9, I forgot which is which.
I loved the FF8 card game. It was so sad that you had to choose to used up some cards if you wanted some equipments if I recall correctly. It would be nice to not have to choose to keep all cards or have all equipments os spells
If you liked it enough, you could win another copy after you refined it by playing against the right people. I think there was only one card you couldn’t get back again, and all the rest were fair game.
I think DOOM Eternal has DOOM 2 inside of it… which then has
shatfenfrudeWolfenstein inside of it. (ignore the spelling 😅)edit: I forgot the name and accidentally tried to type the German word for laughing
Sonic Adventure 2 has a pretty decent adventure platformer built into it
I loved the Chao Garden in the Sonic Adventure games.
Sonic Adventure 2 on Dreamcast was peak Sonic. Those things in the controller had a minigame within a minigame for extra costumes and food for the chao.
