PC Critic Reviews

Dinkum is a fun twist on its genre, offering a unique feeling of progression and open-world gameplay in a setting inspired by the Australian Outback. You’re either going to love the game for the long-term commitment it demands or grow a bit tired of its slow pacing. Either way, I think the game is worth giving a shot.

Dinkum is a solid addition to the farming sim genre and will especially appeal to players who love decorating and terraforming, but it also has some glaring gaps that are difficult to look past.

In breaking away from tradition, Dinkum has the potential to be something truly great. It should certainly reckon with its ties to Indigenous Australia before development advances – but there’s magic in this adventure that makes it certain Dinkum will escape the shadow of its predecessors, in time.
