I recently played Alien Isolation, and I noticed all of the “hacking” she does on doors and computers are different types of games, like press the button at the right time, or match the images within a timer, etc.

A lot of games have these mini-games, and I was wondering which you think are the best? Or at least, didn’t get old fast?

It’s about the story, which takes game-years.

Ok, that's a good point. I'm glad you enjoy that part of the game. I wasn't really interested in "talking" to NPC-s and giving them gifts so I skipped that part of the game and certainly missed what some people like the most about it. As I said, not my cup of tea.

FYI half of the game's content is probably locked behind social interaction. Maybe that's a bad way of phrasing it, it's more like there are lots of different areas of the game (farming, exploring, dungeoneering, and socialising) and they all unlock more bits in the other areas. Either way you probably had a bad time as you were only getting a small slice of the game (though obviously that's fine if you weren't going to enjoy it anyway!)
