The WhatsNext verdict
Dinkum is an excellent choice for players who want a highly customizable life-sim sandbox with real exploration and long-term projects. Play it for the freedom to build an Australian-inspired island your way, not for rich storytelling or brisk progression.

Build a town that feels unmistakably yours
A sandbox that lets you choose your own life
A relaxing project with hundreds of hours in it
What might put you off
