Dinsun Review
2048 is a bit of an anomaly. It doesn't have fancy graphics, there's no story, and the sound is practically non-existent. Yet, it’s one of the few mobile games I actually respect. It relies entirely on logic and pattern recognition. It’s a clean experience that respects the player's intelligence, which is a rare commodity in the App Store these days.
However, it can be incredibly repetitive. Once you figure out the 'bottom corner' strategy, the game becomes more about patience than discovery. It’s a great way to kill five minutes, but it's not a 'deep' experience. It’s basically digital Solitaire for the modern age. I give it a higher score because it doesn't try to trick you into spending money, though the ads in the official version can be annoying.
