Dinsun Review
I appreciate simplicity. Slices doesn't try to tell a story or sell me a battle pass. It's a pure arcade puzzle. You get a piece, you put it in a circle. It’s the kind of game you play while waiting for the train. The fact that it works on an Apple Watch is its biggest selling point—it’s one of the few games that actually feels right on a wrist.
However, it's about as deep as a puddle. Once you’ve played for ten minutes, you’ve seen everything the game has to offer. The 'new fruits' you unlock are just different skins for the same mechanic. It’s functional and clean, but there’s no hook to keep me coming back after the first day. It's a conservative piece of software: it does one thing, and it does it fine, but it doesn't aim for anything more.
