| Topic | Epyo's Top 100 Games of All Time (with write-ups) |
| Epyo 08/01/22 9:21:57 PM #18: | #94 Minesweeper https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/8/4/AABIPnAADhGA.jpg I'm not a Tetris fan, but I *think* people like Tetris for the same reasons I like Minesweeper. At first, it seems like a decent spatial/mathematical logic puzzle, with the convenient feature that it generates new puzzles endlessly. But as you quickly master the puzzle, it transforms into a skill-based, fast pattern recognition game, with a high skill ceiling. The faster your brain can internalize the logic, the faster you go. Mouse dexterity becomes a big part of it too!! If I had to pick a game to "get really into speedrunning", I think I'd choose Minesweeper. The big flaw in the game of course, is the 50/50 chance situations like in my screenshot above. Almost a dealbreaker, but I've heard this is fixable with mods. BEST LEVEL: Expert level! The others are a little too easy--big numbers don't show up often enough. Props to Karl Jobst's video about minesweeper speedrunning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2kWCfzJVVU --- People who don't finish their sentences I'm a Castlevania superfan! Ask me anything! ...
