Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Minesweeper Go at 4.5 against Minesweeper's 3.9. Minesweeper Go also leads on ratings volume (2.2K vs 24). Minesweeper's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Minesweeper Go holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Minesweeper Go has 2.2K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Minesweeper Go's written reviews are positive against 68% of Minesweeper's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
