Dinsun Review
Dinsun here. Finally, a real video game. Samorost 2 is proof that you don't need high-polygon counts or complex skill trees to create a masterpiece. The world-building here is unparalleled; it feels like exploring a living, breathing moss-covered alien ecosystem. The puzzles are logical but require a 'dreamy' kind of lateral thinking that I find refreshing.
It’s a short experience—you can finish it in an hour—but every second is hand-crafted with care. There are no ads, no microtransactions, and no 'energy' meters. It’s a pure artistic vision. Even as a conservative gamer who usually demands high value for money, the quality here justifies the price. It’s a bit old-school in its mechanics, but in a world of generic mobile trash, this is a beacon of quality. Don’t miss it.
