I think this award should belong to GTA V, all the things you can do in there:

  • Tennis
  • Golf
  • Darts
  • Arm wrestling
  • Yoga
  • Hunting
  • Triatlons
  • Shooting range
  • Parachuting
  • Car racing
  • Flight School
  • Missions/heists/dead match
  • Shopping (clothing/snacks/cars/planes)
  • Etc. etc.

On the other side, didn't play The Witcher® 3: Wild Hunt yet, so there maybe more things you can do?! ^^

IIRC W3 only had Gwent, but it was so good/popular it's getting his own standalone game.

Like said above, gwent was a whole different game. Hence why it is a standalone.

I agree. Grand Theft Auto V has so many things to offer. Unfortunately, The Witcher 3 will probably win, even though it has way less possibilities.

Why is it unfortunate?
Quality above quality and all that?
I would actually pay to get the standalone Gwent if it were a paid game. Are the GTAV mini games that good?

True, but still, there was so much that there always was something for your liking. They put allot of work in it and still with DLC's adding V.I.P. work and motorclubs. And happy cake day! ^^

Only played GTAV and TW3 and yes, maybe GTAV has a lot of mini games, but it's not like I would cross the whole map leaving mission to play yoga/tennis/golf/add/add/add

I agree with that they aren't exactly hidden inside the game, but they are not exactly part of the main game (missions/heists). You have to try it to learn it. I've played Golf a couple of times and that was fun to do, but it is something completely different from the main game; you have to choose the right golf stick, take notice of the wind direction, choose a hitting style, give the right strength and make the right angle. During the hit you can also put in effect, by clicking while the ball in in mid-air. You also have various golf courses and you have to take the terrain into account (lane, rough, sand, water). You can play it solo or against friends. This is just one of the mini-game inside the main game and you can see the amount of effort they've put into it..

You can do all that + 10000x more on Garrys mod. It's just very dated.

Actually I was going to nominate the fishing mini game in Stardew Valley, but already put it in another category ¬¬

Witcher 3: Gwent can u even call this a minigame?
Stanley Parable: Wait what?
Garry's Mod: Again no Minigames all minigames are mods if u are count mods as minigames....

GWENT now has it's own card game outside of the Witcher, so it's probably going to win. I never played the Witcher 3, but I have access to GWENT.. I love card games but just didn't like it,. I only played a few games though.. maybe I'll give it another go.

Voted for Stanley Parable, because I thought at first they meant the part of the game where the narrator takes you to Minecraft and Portal, since you're so bored of his game.

Then after I voted I realized people might've nominated it for the baby game, which was .... um .... the baby game. Either way, still works.
