What players say
Not much to say here. It's literally just Sudoku. The UI is clean. Accessibility options are available if needed. More than enough puzzles if you include the DLCs. There are a select few puzzles though that have incorrect difficulties (Medium #57 for example) so be warned. Rating: 3.5/5.
One of the better Sudoku games on Steam. Clean interface, smooth controls, zero nonsense. Difficulty scales well.
it has the most painful color options and no custom option, highlited cells have almost no change to them so its hard to see and have they never used a mouse before and i cant change the controles so just live with how they play the game.
Steam reviews, mixed to match its Steam ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.
