This game is an absolute delight to play! As you can see, I have a lot of hours invested in this game for a reason. I love the adventure at the beginning when you are just surviving and collecting items and getting everyone moved in and set up. I also love the wonderful decorating aspect of the game once you are ready to create the town just the way you want it. I love the treasure hunting aspect as well in the mines and at the islands. The developer has added wonderful new things and new experiences with each update. The quality-of-life things he has added make this game even better! I even love the new stamina system. It prevents you from accidentally passing out from too much exertion. This game draws me back in constantly because you can always create new islands when you choose, you can play with family or friends, be creative and build the town a whole new way. I especially love that you can fly helicopters and hot air balloons. I absolutely love this game!

It is Animal Crossing on steroids come to life on PC, what is not to love about this game. I have spent an ungodly amount of time decorating and just relaxing in this beautiful little game. I love this thing. Thank you James.

great, cozy game, but downside is you can't progress with friends, quests are locked for host and everyone have to have their own islands. I wish we could start and build and progress on the same island on co-op. This design is more for single players but this kind of games are way better playing co-op.

See how many hours I've played? Its really fun. Survival/Craft thats very play at your pace. Fishing is enjoyable, crops fun to grow, and exploration is rewarding. Ranching is cute and hunting is engaging with a variety of weapons. Progression is wonderful with a mine system and new area accessed by plane. Land and water traversal is fun with a variety of vehicles. Relationship building is a bit incomplete as there are no real merits or demerits to increasing hearts after a villager moves into town. The game employs a sleep save system making resetting a day very easy. An active Developer who engages with the community and delivers new content regularly is always a wonderful sign for early access. Worth adding to your library. 10/10, will continue to catch Marlin and hunt Alphas.

This game is something special! Writing this review as something of a thank-you to the devs of Dinkum. My mom is 76 years old. She wanted to play Zelda (after watching me play), but the combat was too difficult. I'd tried to get her hooked on games like Minecraft and Vintage Story, but... those games still have too much in terms of combat or complex survival mechanisms. Then, at some point in time, I got her Animal Crossing. HUGE hit! Unfortunately, she's had probably 10+ islands and has grown very bored with the game. Fast-forward by about a decade, and here she is, loving the absolute crap out of Dinkum! Logged 24 hours in the first two days she played! Dinkum is great because: - the simple graphics, large icons, high contrast colors, and crisp sounds make it easy for you to see and hear what you're doing. It's great for the older players (like my mom!), but also for us who are visually impaired. I have glasses, but a lot of games simply make their UIs too small. - combat is present, but largely optional! For the longest time, my mom was scared to go out at night because she didn't want to get "killed" by scary things like tarantulas (flashback to ACNH!). But in Dinkum, a lot of the enemies can be avoided! Crocodiles can be outrun, wary mus lose interest, and even bush devils can be avoided with enough quick thinking! There are alpha animals (boss-like variants), but those can be avoided by simply not taking on their quests/staying away from their area. - the multiplayer is AMAZING! Seriously, 10/10. I have been the server owner for SO many games between me and my bestie (500+ miles away from me), struggling to get our games so we can play together. But Dinkum is great because it's a 2-button click and we're connected! My mom and I can play on the couch, or my bestie and I can play from our separate countries and it's the same quality, regardless! No server, no having to worry about strangers joining in, no nightmarish fiddling with the command box in windows. It's just click and play! - the game is content-rich. It's early access, but there's a real treasure trove of stuff to do. Lots of items to build with, animals that interact with you (but also, importantly, interact with one another! Making the world feel like a living, breathing place!), clothes, character customization options, bugs and fish to collect... I could go on! - combat is easy, but not utterly boring. There's cues to watch for when you want to strike without getting hit back. - there's a selection of awesome vehicles you can get and ride around on with very fluid movement. - you can do it all or focus on one specific area. You can be a jack of all trades or you can focus on one task and maximize the heck out of it! Stuff I think Dinkum could improve upon: - for a game seemingly inspired by Animal Crossing, I'd like to see Dinkum's npcs do a bit more in the world. Change their clothes, decorate their living space (or HAVE a living area, even), catch bugs and fish, etc. - OPTIONAL hard mode for players who want more challenging combat - more npc dialog/backstory - ability to give better weapons to npcs to help you fight (when "hanging out") - more animals/animal varieties All in all, I think the game is an absolute STEAL at the current price ($23) versus Animal Crossing which is $79 (and a lot less content). It's a game that brings my mom happiness at close to 80 years old, but able to be enjoyed by more "hardcore" gamers like myself. How cool is that? NOTE: My mom, specifically, would like to make a suggestion to see the days progress a bit slower. I think the pacing is alright, but a slower day wouldn't be bad, either.
