Relaxing and intuitive.

When the game Kurushi came out on the PS1 in 1997, I was mesmerized by the graphics, the setting, and the gameplay right from the start :) Now, almost 30 years later, I’ve been swept up in that exact same spell by this game. The sense of flow you get while playing, the pondering and puzzling, the climbing, the atmosphere, the visual presentation—including the sounds and music—as well as the implementation of the various game mechanics, especially Minesweeper, already make this game my GOTY 2026 :)

Just 3d minesweeper

Very interesting and might need quick reflexes for time trial modes. In normal gameplay, when replaying the game/level you already lost the things are random and makes it very interesting. Had minor hiccups on launch day but fixed with timely updates. Thanks for the review key.

Very cozy, unexpectedly addicting, sometimes enraging if you're too confident in your ability to crunch numbers like I am. My hopes were high for the campaign mode, but this is actually a full roguelite-puzzle game with no story going on. Different modes felt a bit flat to me, with no real vibes differences between one another - for instance, I felt no real pressure in the modes that are supposed to make your palm sweaty even though I see how the design is pushing in that direction. Zen mode is totally my jam, a relaxed and meditative experience. The game nicely balances between deductive thinking and push your luck moments, and sound design really lean into the addictive component. Overall a very solid minesweeper-like.

I really like this game! The basics are quickly learned but the different items you can get and use during the campaign bring some new mechanics to every playthrough. I find the music and the voice actress very fitting and love that you are able to play in different modes depending on the difficulty you want for the game. If you want to fulfill the different challenges during the campaign it forces you to think your choices through and not just idly clicking the panels. And even if you want to do that, there is an option - play zen mode!
