How it's used
Originally referring to arcade games where the score counter would reset or 'explode' upon reaching the maximum limit, this term has evolved to mean completing every level or main objective of any video game. It carries a sense of accomplishment and is specifically used for games with a clear end point or final boss. You will rarely hear it used for endless mobile games or casual puzzles.
Examples
I finally finished the game last night.

Common phrases
finally finished the game
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with simply playing a game, which is just 打機. The addition of 爆 implies you have reached the very end of the content.
