Recent Dark Pattern Reviews

Advertisements reported on Dec 29, 2022
You regularly get ads in between games. You get 1 hint per game and then have to watch ads to get more. Some play modes limit how much time you have to complete a game and then you have to watch an ad to expand that timer.
Infinite Treadmill reported on Dec 29, 2022
It is a sudoku game so it makes sense that you can play infinite sudoku games. However there is a daily challenge, and unless you play every day, or play a lot in general, you'll never be able to complete that. The game does not really incentivize you to finish it but it can be frustrating for some.
