I will post the first part of the walkthrough for this mean puzzle tonight, when I am home.
It is the highest points puzzle, compared to size, which is the reason that it has a bit of a tough start.

OK
Here it is:
R5C5 = 1
R6C6 = 1
R8+R10C5 = 07
7 in C2 locked in R1 or R3
R5C3 = 7
R8+R10C6 = 29
R7C6 + R6C7 = 35
6 in R6 locked in C135
R6C5 = 6
R5C1 = 5
R7C5 = 3
R7C6 = 5
R6C7 = 3
R6C10 = 2
R6C8 = 5
R6C3 = 0
R3C5 = 2

From here it should run smoothly.

Talking about favourite sudokus, Low Digits was incredible. It was like 'Wow, this can't get better' after I solved it. It was beautiful. No wonder it's average rating is 9.5 from 10 votes.

I noticed the very high rating. Although I am very happy with the ratings of all puzzles, I wonder why especially this one is by far the highest. Is it the shapes of the irregular areas? Or the straight forward solving path? I am very fond of symmetry, in shapes, grey cells and patterns of given digits. The fun part is that this is the only puzzle where symmetry is not possible in the grey cells.
