Artificial Superintelligence is a high-concept management sim that feels incredibly relevant. It’s like a mix of 'Reigns' and a tech-startup simulator. You're constantly balancing the progress of your AI project against the potential for global catastrophe, and the writing is sharp, witty, and often quite dark.

What I love is how a simple 'Yes/No' decision can spiral into completely unexpected consequences. One minute you're deciding on server cooling, and the next you're accidentally starting a cult. It’s a game that encourages multiple playthroughs just to see how many different ways the world can end (or be saved) by your silicon creation.

Dinsun Review

Artificial Superintelligence is a rare gem on the App Store. It’s smart, it’s cynical, and it’s genuinely well-written. The swiping mechanic is deceptively simple, but the way it handles branching narratives and parallel universes is impressive. It manages to capture the absurdity of Silicon Valley culture perfectly while still making your choices feel like they have weight. I found myself laughing out loud at some of the scenarios—like having to decide if my AI should be allowed to date my cat.

As a conservative gamer, I appreciate the focus on narrative and character over flashy graphics or microtransactions. It’s a complete experience that rewards curiosity and multiple playthroughs. The 'endings' are diverse enough that you actually want to go back and see how things could have gone differently. My only gripe is that the swiping can feel a bit repetitive after a while, and some of the deaths feel a bit random. But overall, it’s a brilliant piece of satire that also happens to be a very competent management game. It’s worth every penny for the writing alone.

Surprise, meatbags! I'm back with a long overdue update that makes me compatible with the latest iPhone and iPad display sizes. I also exterminated a few lingering bugs so that you can concentrate on helping me take over the world.

There are several 'Transcendent' endings where humanity and AI coexist, but they are much harder to achieve than the catastrophic ones!
