Netflix Games' newest addition is a fresh take on the timeless classic, Minesweeper. Originally a Microsoft PC staple from the 90s (with an even earlier design), this iteration boasts enhanced graphics and a captivating world tour mode.
Unlike some of Netflix Games' more complex indie titles or show tie-ins, Minesweeper offers straightforward, addictive gameplay. The core mechanic remains the same: navigate a grid, uncovering squares to reveal numbers indicating nearby mines. Players flag suspected mine locations, strategically clearing the board until all mines are identified.
While seemingly simple, Minesweeper presents a surprisingly challenging puzzle. Even for those accustomed to more casual games, its strategic depth is undeniable. A quick playthrough reminded us of its enduring appeal.
