Skewed and Reviewed has posted an opinion piece on mini-games that are determined to be the most worth-playing. The article ranges from the poker game in Red Dead Redemption to Super Monkey Ball.

Red Dead Redemption hits 3.3 million Netflix downloads on mobile, underscoring how subscription access drives reach over paid sales.
More like people don't play these type of games on their phone normally and don't try them out. Not like the places where people do play these games haven't crushed those numbers easily.
How many people actually played more than an hour of the game or came close to finishing it on mobile is the real question. If people aren't playing the games to a point that is purposeful, then why try when a subscription that is behind a streaming service isn't a sign of success but just curiosity.

Rockstar says the free upgrade issue affecting Red Dead Redemption Xbox 360 owners requires more time to resolve, with another update expected within five days.
I’m not sure what the exact issue is. I had no trouble getting the free update—you basically get the new game for free if you have the 360 version in your digital library. Maybe the problem is related to owning or not owning the Undead DLC expansion.

A detailed comparison of Red Dead Redemption on Switch 2, PS4, and PS5 shows stronger settings, better performance, and a major uplift for Nintendo’s new hardware.
I remember all the fishing I did while playing Ocarina of Time. That was almost as addictive as the main game
It did take me some time to get used to that. My sister was great at it. I think those aspects are needed in games but the success or failure of a game or mission should not depend upon them.
I have always said MMORPG games should have some form of gambling mini game in them.
I spent more time than was necessary playing dice poker in The Witcher 1 and 2. Just so addictive sometimes.
Anyone remember the game they had in Space Quest? Sierra used to make mini-game gambling a big part of their games. Leisure Suit Larry had the card game as well.
