damn, I kept playing just for the plot, I can't wait for the 2billion budget sequel voiced by keanu reeves and ana de armas

That takes up 300Gb and requires a third party launcher plus denuvo

Start saving for the 9090Ti now if you want to run it over 30 fps.

Where's the part about making an account to "share your score with your friends".

Also missed the "Achievements": the very first click should've triggered at least "Started your first sweep", "Just got lucky: your blind click wasn't a mine!", "Cleared more than 10 blocks on 1 click" and "Cleared more than 20 blocks on 1 click".

Also didn't saw any "sweep store" selling things like "Safe-click: is this click hits a mine it transforms into a flag instead of exploding".

I think this is more if Minesweeper was an AAA game 10 years ago.

Hey, for an AAA game there is a serious lack of a launcher, issues with kernel level anti cheat, creating a separate account and a 30 gigabyte update.

It's impossible to die? I just played it without using the yellow diamonds. I didn't try to intentionally hit a mine though.

We can have quadruple A game in a browser but we have to download an app just so we can get an appointment.

Also the lack of QTE is disappointing, 7/10.

I finished AAA-Minesweeper without dying. Just clicked all fields until everything was solved. Very nice atmospheric blood effect on the sides of screen, just like real bombs would hurt me. Unfortunately I had no audio; was there supposed to be some audio?
