Dinsun Review
Dinsun here. I'm usually allergic to games that try too hard to be 'zen,' but SiNKR earns its tranquility. The hook-and-puck mechanic is tactile and rewarding. It feels like playing with a high-quality wooden toy. There are no menus to get lost in, no obnoxious 'Buy 5 more turns' pop-ups. It’s just you and the logic.
The difficulty curve is one of the best I've seen. It introduces a new part, lets you play with it, then combines it with something old in a way that makes you feel clever when you figure it out. It’s a bit short—I finished it in about two hours—but those two hours were focused and satisfying. It’s a premium experience for a fair price, and in this day and age, that’s rare enough to warrant a high recommendation.
