I’ve been playing a lot of Assassin’s Creed: Rogue here lately, and while it’s certainly no MMO, it has managed to remind me of the MMO space’s more addictive mechanics courtesy of its collection minigames. I’ve spent far more time sailing around the North Atlantic (and the rooftops of colonial New York) looking for floating musical shanties and glowing animus fragments than I’ve spent advancing the game’s storyline, and I shudder to think how many hours will be listed under the game on my Steam list when I’m finally finished.
But it’s a ton of fun, so there’s that.
What about you, MOP readers? Have you met an addictive collection minigame in an MMO that’s grabbed you like that?
