Just finished HexCells!

  

Short puzzle game a la minesweeper. Except minesweeper relies on rng and logic, while in Hexcells it's a predetermined grid, and sometimes you have to guess. That is basically what infuriated me more about this game: it drags you into a corner and it's up to you to decide which of the 3 or 4 grids has the one blue space. It didn't happen many times but even if it happens only once you'll remember it because it's a very short game. Apparently I'm just a dumb individual. I'll definitely pick up the other two installments in the series since I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Great for short sessions.

Actually there is always a way to figure it out without guessing. Was your screenshot one of the moments where you had to guess? You can tell there, that the hexagon below the -3- must be a blue one. And the other left-top of it isn’t. The Hexagon below the middle -2- can’t be a blue one as one of the two left of the middle -2- have to be blue and then all other hexagons around it can’t be blue. And so on and on ;)

You’re right, I don’t know how I missed that.

Yeah, you absolutely never have to guess! In the other games it can get rather difficult to figure it out, but never having to guess was one of the best features in hex cells IMO :)
If you ever want to feel free to post a screenshot of somewhere you’re stuck and I’ll draw on it + explain the next step for you :3

How about this one?

Flawless!

Sometimes, you can also get a lot of information from the # Remaining.

You have 7 remaining. There is 1 left on these 3 non-overlapping clues. There are only 4 other hexes on the board. These 4 must all be blue, and you can figure out the rest from there. :)

And now I feel like popping back into Hexcells Infinite. :P

Looks like a great fun game, always liked to play minesweeper. Hope it gets bundled again and that i have money for games then :D
