Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Minesweeper at 4.8 against Hexawar 2's 3.6. Minesweeper also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 50%) and ratings volume (467 vs 7). Hexawar 2's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
