15 Useless Video Game Tasks We All Enjoyed

LAB PUZZLES (SPIDER-MAN)

We get it- when we’re playing a game based on Spider-Man, we want to play as, well, Spider-Man, and anything that cuts into that feels like lost or wasted time. Insomniac’s open world title is amazing, but it has some moments that do just that- but occasionally going back to Peter’s lab and doing some of the lab puzzles manages, for the most part, to be a nice little distraction. You can always skip the puzzles too without ever losing the potential rewards, in fact, so they’re never really shoved down your throat, but a handful of these short but fun puzzles every couple of hours can often be surprisingly enjoyable.
