I got an AJ Curvy Dinominx recently. I don't actually have many other corner-turning puzzles, so this was pretty new for me. I thought it was fun enough to figure out how I was supposed to solve it (although it's on the easier side), although turning the smaller corners is not a fun experience.

I just looked it up. It’s an intense looking puzzle! What puzzles did you have before this that have similar solving techniques?

I honestly can't really come up with something from the same immediate line of puzzles that this one's from (don't own them), but (spoilered for those who want to solve it themselves):

MethodologySolving the intersection of the corner cuts before solving the rest of the puzzle reminded me a little of the way I solved the corners of the Polaris Cube after solving the rest of the puzzle.

That is to say, it was a lot of pairing and less about actually coming up with algorithms, so I found it pretty easy and sort of mind-numbing after I solved it the first time around.
