I'm not entirely sure that Tametsi needs yet another glowing review, but I finally 100%ed the game tonight after working on it off and on for the last six years, so I guess it's time... Tametsi is very difficult, scrupulously fair, and the best puzzle game I've ever played. There'll be more review below, but honestly? The game costs less than $ARBITRARY_BEVERAGE and it's fantastic. Just buy it already. The only critical advice I'll provide is this: in the launcher, before you actually start the game, go to the Settings tab and turn on literally every setting that isn't on by default. Together they dramatically improve the quality-of-life of playing the game, and I can't fathom why they're not on by default on new installs. As for the game itself, it's a tooth-achingly hard take on Hexcells' expanded take on Simon Tatham's no-guessing take on Minesweeper. To unpack that a bit: it's a pure, zero-guessing-required puzzle game where you're finding mines in a grid. Besides the standard numbers in cleared cells you'd expect to find in such a game, it has several refinements. I won't spoil them here, but they're all nicely tutorialized over the first ten puzzles, and they all provide further opportunities for devious design. Fundamentally, once you get past the easier puzzles, the game revolves around finding "the one loose thread." There'll be a place where no mine can go because it causes a deficit somewhere else, or where a mine must go or else the count will be wrong. To mix metaphors, finding that thread sometimes feels like looking for a needle in the world's most overwhelming haystack, but it's always there. The tutorial doesn't lie when it says you never have to guess. Some puzzles collapse neatly once you find one or two critical threads; others are a non-stop assault on your brain, each deduction leading to another one, hidden even more carefully than the last. There are 100 puzzles in the core of the game, but--very mild spoilers that the developer themselves spoiled in their updates--there are quite a few more than that which will unlock as you progress. Every puzzle feels interesting, and just about every one taught me something new about how to look at a Minesweeper-like puzzle. By the end you will be a wizard at this type of puzzle, and it will come naturally through the act of playing the game. Or... you'll decide that it's just too much, as many of my friends have. Which is fine! It's cheap, and you can keep coming back to it as you decide to devote more time discovering its charms. My 101 hours of playtime reflect two separate plays of the game. The first was of the main puzzle set and a few bonus puzzles, and relied heavily on Innocentive's wonderful walkthrough videos, which I'd turn to when I was stuck for more than five minutes or so. That took me probably something like 35 hours. The second started from scratch, and I refused to ever look up anything or ask for help. If I got stuck, I got stuck, and just had to figure out what I was missing. I got through the main 100 puzzles in something like half the time... and then proceeded to spend the bulk of the 65ish-hour playthrough on the bonus puzzles. Some of those took me multiple sessions, where I'd stare at it for thirty minutes, make one or two deductions, and then get stuck. I'd quit the game, come back a day (or week, or month) later, and make a little bit more progress, finding another thread or two to tug loose. I was stuck on one specific puzzle for literally months. I dreaded opening the game to stare at it again. But one day I decided that I was going to solve it, and I sat down and stared hard, and sure enough. There was the thread I had been missing, and another, and another... I'm not ashamed to admit that, on the very last puzzle of the game, I spent something like forty minutes staring hard, 80+% of the way through, until I found the last thread that made it all unravel. It was awful, and then it was awesome, and then I had finished the game on my own terms. Yes, I wish it had music. Yes, I wish it didn't punish you for misclicks in a way that led me to (shamelessly) make use of screenshots and Microsoft Paint. Yes, I wish it would remember my color choices for painting and then save my drawings between sessions. But those are nits. The core of the game is a flawless jewel, hard and unyielding and glittering brightly in the sun. I played this game for six and a half years. What more can one truly ask for?

Most challenging minesweeper style game I've played on steam. All puzzles are solvable without guessing. The core puzzles are well balanced in terms of difficulty with the later puzzles offering a significant challenge. Difficulty of the final bonus puzzles can feel over tuned at times, as you end up searching for a single inconsistency across hundreds of tiles. The color palette is sometimes hard on the eyes, especially on the pseudo 3D puzzles. Easy recommend for fans of the genre.

Returned to the game after 2 years of not having touched it. Steam cloud save still had my original save, so I finally finished all the remaining puzzles. It is plenty challenging. Took me almost 60 hours to solve all of the available puzzles. Puzzles are solvable without guessing and at time will have you look looking at the board for an hour til you finally figure out the solution.

I'm yet to find another puzzle game on Steam that has been so difficult yet hasn't required a lot of trial and error or some luck to complete the hardest levels. I've completed all the puzzles in the game twice with 0 errors and I still want more! Despite there only being 160 puzzles, I easily spent around 100 hours completing them all with 0 errors - there's a lot of hours in this game!

My dear devs, I'm begging you - we need more! I haven't been able to find any other simple grid puzzle games with a comparable level of difficulty on Steam. Addictive and fairly challenging, without being impossible. And if anyone has a recommendation of any other games that scratch a similar itch, please comment!
