War Mines: WW2

War Mines: WW2 is at the same time a very simple game and a visual delight!
This is the first time that I really understood how to play minesweeper and actually liked it, after ignoring the classic version of the game for my entire life.
And this interest is certainly due to the historical second war context that the game presents us through beautiful art, especially for this price range.

Editing of Original Review: It appears that all of my issues with the game have been addressed. Now it's a decent minesweeper game.
Original Review:
While the game is cheap and I would give it a neutral score if that was an option, the game is highly luck dependent due to bad level design. Most of the minesweeper levels are narrow
4x12 rectangles which means that you end up having to make multiple 50/50 guesses each level. Victory does not depend on logic but on getting lucky 3 or more times in a row. Minesweeper works better with larger square levels because you can actually use logical reasoning to find safe tiles. It has a hint option, but this disqualifies you for achievements. This leaves lucky guessing as your route to victory.
The order of the campaign is also odd. You go from 1944 D-day to 1942 Stalingrad. The text in the game states after the D-Day mission that now attention is drawn to the fight in Stalingrad, which doesn't make any chronological sense. The end focuses on the Battle for Berlin, but then shifts from Russian and German forces fighting to US and German forces for the last portion of the game, which doesn't make sense either.
On the more positive side, the sound effects are excellent and the graphics look a lot better than default windows minesweeper.

Simple and enjoyable (yet giving brain hypertrophy haha), with nice minimalist 3D graphics, cool cinematics between the levels put you in the WW2 context. Nice approach for a minesweeper!

Similar to the first game, although better. Better art, better storytelling, better gameplay. Now you won't die on first click. I really enjoyed learning history from these kinds of media.

A pretty good reimagining of Minesweeper, but at the end of the day it's still Minesweeper. The environments were very well done however, and the interesting layouts of some of the level added some complexity that's missing from the regular Minesweeper variants.

Great game, a little light on game play time, I finished in about 40 minutes and unlocked all but the find the dogs achievement. For a couple of bucks well worth a look, not hard but if you played a ton of mine sweeper as a kid... you will like this simple take with a world war 2 theme.

Still a short experience (if you've played Minesweeper before, expect to complete in under an hour).
That being said, I would say this is a slight improvement over the WW1 version. I can tell the developers are trying out new things. Weird angles, squares "in the distance", obscuring visual effects, and obstacles on the grid can add some additional challenge to the game play.
Like any Minesweeper game, sometimes luck will be on your side and sometimes it won't. But all in all, it wasn't a bad play. Either get on sale, or expect it to be a short experience (unless you plan on replaying because you love Minesweeper that much).
