What are your thoughts on mine fields in games?

Personally idk. Kinda bad puzzles.

I kinda don't like Minesweeper.  Its a small part of chance.

One wrong move and boomb!

Like this thing in the end of uncharted 4



Or


It's a pretty common game mechanic surprisingly.

I didn't mind it so much in Uncharted 4.  
It at least wasn't random or anything.  But yeah, not the best game mechanic.

Really the mechanic isn't so different from the holes in Mario.  Directing the player by giving them something to avoid.

In Uncharted 4 it was done really well because it was a cool puzzle. There was no chance involved, work out what the clues were saying and you got through.

I don't like it when games throw in mine fields where its totally down to chance if you live or not. That being said I can't really remember playing many games where this was a thing

Super addicting game.  First clicks on a new game are chance, but most of the rest minus a few moves here and there are just knowing how to read what the numbers are saying. 

Maybe 5% chance or less!  I can't imagine someone playing this game and not knowing how to play it.

Depends on difficulty. It's possible to exhaust all known safe spaces and have to guess.

True, and I have had that happen.  Absolute worst when you are close to the end and choose wrong. BS!
