Polimines

could have been so much better 4,5/10

I would only really recommend this to people who enjoy this type of logic puzzle, but it's solid.

Clever. Devious. The difficulty progression is spiky. Puzzles one through seven ease you into the core concepts and solving techniques. But this is not a chill, easy-going game; be prepared to start thinking outside the box immediately after puzzle seven. There are several more difficulty spikes on your way to 30, but you tend to get a few easier puzzles after a particularly challenging one. There’s a nice breadth of puzzles: grand, sweeping ones that have you wander across the board, gradually carving out the solution, as well as smaller, more constrained yet devilish ones. The big levels are genuinely enjoyable, but I appreciate that the smaller puzzles often pack more punch in a much tighter time scale. One final remark: the multi-number rows can be confusing at times. You get used to it by the end of the game, but I constantly had to remind myself which numbers were referring to which rows (especially suck-y if it causes you to accidentally make a mistake).

Polimines is a technically functional puzzle game that unfortunately feels more like a newspaper sudoku than an actual video game. The complete absence of music creates a sterile atmosphere that drains any potential enjoyment from the experience. While the puzzles themselves present a decent challenge, the game fails to create any sense of stakes or consequence for poor performance. There's no real penalty system or progression that makes you feel invested in doing well. What could have been an engaging puzzle experience instead feels like low-effort filler content. The lack of audio design, meaningful game mechanics, and rewarding feedback loops left me thoroughly disappointed. I'd recommend looking elsewhere if you want a puzzle game that actually feels worth your time.

there are multiple points where the puzzles seem obtuse or impossible to solve with the information given and you are forced to guess. combined with the counterintuitive marking system that causes misclicks even after hours of working. i finished only so that i wouldnt feel like i wasted money

This game is not super challenging for anyone who enjoys nono-sweeper games, but some puzzles in this game are pretty satisfying. Starting around level 24/25 out of 30, levels have at least one challenging move that is nice to solve. Flagging/clearing needs to have a toggle-on-left-click option rather than only being bound to right click, every mistakes in my first play-through were from macbook trackpad right clicks registering as left clicks. It would also be nice if mine indicator numbers greyed or crossed out after flagging the corresponding amount of cells, as is common in nonogram and nonosweeper games. Worth it on sale, if only to play 30 quick levels and scratch the itch while providing an easy 100%. No trading cards :(

Relaksująca gra logiczna, podobna do "Sapera". Levele od najprostszych do stosunkowo trudnych. Polecam

Finally, polyamorous minesweeper

A little amuse bouche. Good way to spend a couple hours.
