The minis are bad. They make which tile is the entrance less obvious. They take more space to store. They hide tokens behind them.
I like the look of the tiles but they are nice, not better.
This is like a worse version of the shikoky refresh: they tried to change very little but some things they did change harm readability. I prefer the original.
He didn’t call his list “the most complex games I enjoy”. He called his list the 10 most complex games, which it absolutely isn’t. You’re ignoring the reality of what he published.
“Some of the average games that are a bit more complex” is a useless arbitrary list.
By your own criteria, that list had none of the games over 4.7 weight with more than 100 votes on bgg
None of these games are even remotely close to the most complex board games.
The campaign for North Africa is by far the most complex game, being as it was created specifically for that purpose and nobody has ever managed to even complete a singlr game of it.
Behind that are dozens and dozens of games in the 18xx genre, which is a giant cluster of rules from bespoke stock market operation details to complex route profit calculations to natural disasters and a million other things. Games can often take 8+ hours.
After that you have the entire hex and chit wargame genre, which will have tons of complex rules for combat, tables for looking up results, a million classes of units, and usually many rules that are included not even for game design purposes, but just for historical accuracy.
This is an awful click bait article just designed to get views for a more casual audience with popular well known games.

“We” don’t. Please elaborate.
What an awful thumbnail. I wish dearrow existed for unfurled links.
