Easier minesweeper*

@@Joda_-.- Minesweeper is easy, though. It's also impossible to be 100% perfect at it as sometimes you *need* to guess. Hexcells would have a higher skill ceiling since you don't guess at all. Thus I'd say it's harder, since although it's easy to be decent at, there's a lot to learn and since it's about skill over luck, it's harder to be the best at.

@@BebxOfficial no, trust me, hexcells is easier. It sucks working on a hard minesweeper field for over an hour, only to have to guess at the end and you get it wrong. You don't have to worry about that in hexcells though, so it's most likely easier. Hexcells in general is definitely more forgiving

@@TheNamesSnek Luck =/= Difficulty

@@TheNamesSnek I know. I've played Minesweeper. I love it too. I know how lucky the game is. At a certain point, there's less skill involved. Look at the lotto versus getting a job and just grinding out a million dollars. There's so much more depth to getting a job than there is in winning the lotto yet the lotto is a lot less reliable. It's luck. Same goes with Minesweeper versus Hexcells. Call it a false equivalency, but it's pretty much my reasoning in how there's no way Minesweeper has a higher skill cap than Hexcells. Now does a high skill gap mean a high amount of skill in is required? No. But since Hexcells has more aspects to it than Minesweeper, that means that it is harder, just by the simple fact that there's more to it. There's no way that Minesweeper, with its simplicity, is harder than Hexcells. But I dunno I've not played Hexcells at all, I'm just someone who loves to both play Minesweeper a lot, and loves to hate Minesweeper a lot. so maybe I'm biased. eh. tbh play what ya like, I don't mind.

Shut up

I guess by kliklogik 4 sides = 4 adjacencies.

For some reason, I too thought that minesweeper had 4, when I first had discovered Hexcells. Cause it's squares. You can fool yourself thinking that they have 4 sides, therefore they must have had 4 options to click on

Lol, true XD

Yeah true, the corners count. i didn't even pick up on that during the video.

I also noticed that. Doesn't this fact make old school minesweeper more complex to a degree?

It reminds me of a game I played years ago called Mine of Sight, it's like Minesweeper but every few levels they introduce a new gimmicky cell that progressively makes the game harder and harder.

@@billabobyt Yes! I was looking for free alternatives and Mine of Sight was exactly what I remembered. But Hexcells seems to be very polished :)

Not in my experience. Plus and Infinite were similar difficulties.

@@Toropetskii replayed all of them the other day and with plus I only started getting repeatedly stuck in some of the last few whereas in inf it started from the 3rd section and only got more frequent from there

hexcells infinite is a spas 12 shotgun?

@@sovietspy8661 yes

wait

Wait a minute

hol up

lol

I would love it for mobile

There is in fact a game for android that features this hexagonal minesweeper gameplay. It's called "Minesweeper: Collector"!

@@gagagaga96 I searched on the android store and there is a port of the game but apparently it introduces some guesswork and isn't as good as the actual game

@@Chris_P_Lettuce True, still better than nothing I guess..

While it isn't official. Look for "SIXCELLS". It is hexcells for android, with a few nice custom rules community levels

It's been a while since I've visited this channel, really doubt anyone is going to read this,but I am proud to say that I've been incredibly hooked to these games. My combined playtime of the Hexcells games is almost on the 300 hour mark, it's a fantastic game collection I can boot up at any point in time to play for just 5-15 minutes.

Hexcells doesn't have the 50/50 bullshit you see in minesweeper

@@randalica92 You can fix that by randomly generating levels in a different, smarter way. I bet a version like that already exists. If not, it won't be hard to make an algorithm for that.

@Arrow Head except it never is guess work, and don't throw that 50/50 bullshit reddit post at me which has already been disproven by many a man.

@Arrow Head no he's right, minesweeper doesn't involve any guesswork from the player if its programmed properly. its just like the narrator in the video, you have to learn whats in adjacent cells based upon the numbers. infact i'd say its the exact same game in a different format. he's describing minesweeper, just with hexes. give him minesweeper instead, he'd likely enjoy it just as much. that said, im sure there are fan-made minesweeper versions that do require guesswork (ive experienced one, had to do some probability math), but theyre not official.

Another average Quake enjoyer.
