MineSweeper VR

I've always been big into mine sweeping, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ this is terrible. The controls feel like they were made by Hellen Keller. Pretty nifty game still I guess. I don't understand the zombies mode either.

Likey

I don't really play regular Minesweeper that came with Windows but to play this game in 3D and feel like you are there disarming mines is really a big different! I found myself completely addicted to the game I thought I would ever not play very much. This is truly a gem among the VR library on Steam.

Armed with my Oculus Quest, I was all set for a bomb-diffusing adventure but ended up more lost than a sock in a laundry. Would it be better on the Vive? That's like asking if burnt toast tastes better with butter. The lack of movement options had me floating like a balloon lost in the supermarket. With no tutorials and controls as intuitive as a cryptic text from your ex at 3 AM. And when you want to exit this missery? A non-existent exit menu. Because who needs a proper exit button when you are having the time of your life. Force quitting the game felt like the only way out – a metaphor for my vanishing enthusiasm for indie VR games. If this is the future of VR, I might as well dig out my flip phone to play Snake.

I bought this to play Minesweeper in VR and that is exactly what it is. Very pleased. Adding a bit more info, the game is a bit awkward to get used to, but it makes sense once you do. Firstly, the game page explains the controls, but an in game tutorial is nowhere to be found, which is a bit strange. Once I got a game started I initially thought something was wrong until I realized that the game is meant to be played like you're holding two poles vertically in front of you. This actually adds to the game's immersion a bit as it somewhat simulates the feeling of poking the tiles (and possibly a bomb) and dropping flags, though you don't actually do this with a motion, but instead a button press. When you get it wrong though, it a whole lot more dramatic than when playing the original title, and that makes it pretty cool. Overall it lacks polish, but it's still a good game of VR Minesweeper and that's not a bad thing at all.

Genius, just simple minesweeper. Get a hands on the control and start playing. With enough room space and puzzling out how the game works this game can be fun, the environment adds an extra vibe to it. However for the money I think some extra themes could be added (like good ol windows 64/7) and game modes. The only con that comes with this game is that the mine generation is poorly designed and sometimes you will have to take a 50/50 chance to win (twice sometimes), and a few minor bugs.
