At no point did I think 'Oh, a locked door. The minigame is just kind of there instead of it being a part of the gameplay itself.

It's the fourth point that really drives home why the minigame is literally a waste of time. There is literally no skill involved, just turn the nobs until you get it right, then watch an animation. The minigame does not cost any resources and you cannot get better at it. Every single lock, no matter what level, is the exact same level of difficulty and appearance. 20 seconds isn't a long time, but added up over multiple instances all at once and it becomes annoying. The minigame is slow and slows down gameplay, taking on average around 20 seconds to complete with all animations. Other characters shouldn't be able to do the spell instantly while we, the player that is supposed to be incredibly powerful, have to sit through a slow minigame. The spell should work instantly, as it is demonstrated to in various parts of the game. The reason behind people falling behind option number two is because of a few simple reasons. 'Why do I need a minigame? It's a spell, it should just do it for me automagically.'įrom what I've seen of the complaints on this sub, it seems that the majority of people fall into the latter point as I do. 'Oh neat, it's like Skyrim where I have a lockpicking minigame.'

When introduced to the minigame for Alohomora one would probably think one of two things.
