Minigame zones are quite a fun luxury to have in RPG games though
Variety is the spice of life. And in games, it’s no different. Many games let players goof off and do silly stuff for a change of pace
This is critically important for turn based RPGs because the core combat mechanic is **PAINFULLY** slow. Having some goofy optional minigames really helps to break up the monotony
There’s a lot of other great games out there with silly time wasting minigames for similar reasons – Pokemon had the slot machines and assorted minigames, Kingdom Hearts has the Winnie the Pooh world, Dragon Quest 11 had horse racing, FFX had blitz ball, etc

You know what’s even worse? When the game’s plot pressures you into thinking there’s a strict time limit, when there isn’t one, like in Baldur’s Gate 3.

This was one part of BG 3 that actually caught me off guard because there are some missions that have built in timers and if you wait too long they’ll resolve themselves.

Who drew this? Are they in prison?

The worst thing about the advent of the internet is people who draw art like this have gained the ability to make some of us accidentally have to see it.

This comic looks like it was taken straight out of 2007

cringe art aside it’s weird how nowadays there are more and more people that actually criticize games for doing this when back in the day we just accepted that having minigames and other distractions was a good thing. We didn’t care that it didn’t make sense to do all this while giant kaiju were roaming around attacking things, fun made more sense to us than logic did.
