Dinkum weaves a relaxed, animal‑encountering adventure with bustling multiplayer sessions. Players praise its cozy atmosphere and engaging exploration, and 87% of post‑launch reviews are positive. UI glitches and persistent bugs, however, dampen what otherwise feels like a charming indie title.

What it's about: Dinkum est un jeu de simulation de survie qui prend place sur une île inspirée de l'arrière-pays australien sauvage. Recueille des ressources en cultivant, en chassant, en minant, en pêchant et en cueillant, développe ta ville et découvre ce qui rend Dinkum si spécial, en solo ou avec des amis.

« J'adore ce petit jeu, il est très chill rapelant Animal Crossing MAIS ! Avec la fonction "Chasse" et "Se faire matraquer par des Emeuh / Autruches en colère" Le jeu est assez lent en progression mais très agréable. 7 / 10 »

« 50 hours into the game and all items not in my pocket disappeared. Reported bug, no response. Asked for refund, can't find any reference to that. Can't play a game where I can't trust that my progress is saved. »
