filled a lot of time in school. choosing the right mine in a 50/50 is extremely stressful, i love it. also feels really good to win expert
i only learned how to play this game maybe a year ago
5/5 me lo paso en 1 minuto que crack
the GACKT of the video game genre
This is my safespace game
1 star is kind of harsh but im not a fuckin nerd lmao!
How on earth do you rate mine sweeper?
CLASSIC
Maybe I'm just biased because I played too much Minesweeper as a kid when I was bored, but I think this game has a fantastic sense of what it means to be a game with such a simple interface. I could honestly play Minesweeper for hours on end and still feel engaged.
i had no idea this game had rules until like a year ago
Over 20 years later I still don't know how to beat this game.
cant beat that
me at the army with no calculation skills
Ok, "completing" minesweeper aside.
I think this is interesting, maybe because there's like a powerful resurgence going on around me cuz of one person who decided minesweeper was fun again, but also because I was toying around with this vs. a bunch of other minesweeper knock-offs, and kept circling back to this one.
And why? Because of rng. Which is weird, because I can't think of anything more frustrating and annoying about minesweeper then you running into the dreaded 3-1 with two last clickable spaces left, or just the pretense that because you rolled the dice wrong you were fucked from the start, kiddo. But when I played versions that used algorithms to remove that element, where it just became a game of statistical probability using the same techniques ad nauseum, rather than some measures in my head to try to reduce the risk through intuition, it became... boring. A solved game isn't always bad, but it's not something I come back to, and I don't think most people do.
That's the wild part, this game is ancient and it swallows up my freetime hours lately with nothing but basic probability management and very simple to learn techniques. All baked into a very intentionally irritating gameplay component. There are people who have spent their lives optimizing that component, creating strategies to fuck with the board, bending the numbers under their knee until they unlocked it like a fucked up puzzle and going YES I GOT IT.
Fucking wild. Legendary game, probably not something I'll recommend lol. This is just a fun retrospective.

YOOOOOO RAW KINO BASED
Fun time sink
I went from ignoring it to worship
i've never been able to win on this thing
FUCK tetris, this is the definitive time waster puzzle game
Eu demorei TANTO tempo pra entender que tinham regras que faziam sentido esse jogo - e dito isso, é um puzzle bem divertido e legal, por mais que não seja meu favorito.
rating it because of the experience i had while learning it
1/5 never was good at math.
I was playing Solitaire on my comp and then realized I hadn't played much Minesweeper and now it's something I live and breathe, as I look up new tactics, RNG mitigation, strategies to speedrun, multiplayer io parts where it's a race to get mines, and somehow it has become this idea of bending Minesweeper to my goddamn will until I come out the otherside without exploding and cheer like a maniac when I got lucky on the unluckiest draw possible of 2 spaces that are impossible to figure out which one has the mine.
I'll have a real, full review analyzing this game at some point. I'm not up to the task yet, but until then..
I'm now singlehandedly responsible for an entire Discord server I'm on getting into Minesweeper and the pandemic has spread. I am Patient Zero.
I'm not sorry.

Unlike a certain other person posting a review on this game, I actually like Solitaire better as a singleplayer game.
That being said, after mastering this game you'll never step in dog poop ever again.

Wait, how the fuck are you supposed to play this game?
