Mine Seeker

⠀

The game starts you in the middle of the board with one title open. Even if you're playing a normal level, most of the time there's gonna be a number, meaning you already have to guess where to click on the first move. If you're trying a harder puzzle, most likely for achievements like I was, this would end in most games ending in less than a minute. There's a "zero" tile instead of a blank tile, which makes the board more confusing because there's now more numbers on the board than there needs to be. The loading time between games and the time actually playing the game was equally balanced for me trying to get the harder achievements, like Dedication. Even the earliest Minesweeper games generated boards instantly. I'd have to say it's because of the unfitting 3D environments, but if you hit "retry" I don't think the game should take that long a time just generating some random numbers for the tiles.

Too much guess

Unfortunately I cannot recommend this game. The game is not clean for most backgrounds, the mine numbers don't stand out enough, and you can't use the left+ right click. Additionally, I dislike the 'empty' tiles, adding unnecessary clicks. It would be more satisfying to have the empty grids open up automatically like how the traditional game does it.

Achievements are broken, parameters occasionally change between rounds. Success is not so much logical as it is a statistical anomaly. 99% of games begin with having no choice but to click a mine, then you must wait for a new level to load, as your ever-present total losses rises in the top left corner like a real-life negative luck stat. The ambient screaming cannot be turned down, because it is you.
