My initial impression of the game--that made me trying it out in the first place--was that it looks cute and seems inspired by Animal Crossing; yet not even few hours in, I was pleasantly surprised that Dinkum is so much more than that! We get to do things that we usually do in farming sim game, but I love that we are free to do things that we prefer to do in order to progress; 30 hours into the game and I haven't even started my farm yet as I've been so hyperfixated on designing my town, hunting down certain fishes that would give me most profit at that particular season, and be hunted by some wild crocodiles--and other hostile animals--that caught me by surprise.

It's such a charming game and I know for sure that I'll be charmed for a long while, especially as it's also such relaxing game that encourage me to take things on my own pace. It's crazy to think that the game is still on early access yet has such depth of things that we could do!
