An Introduction To Variant Sudoku: Puzzle 2
1,490*** Today's Sudoku ***
Many of our viewers have noted that it would be a good idea if, occasionally, we aimed videos explicitly at newcomers to the channel to try and showcase the world of variant sudokus in an accessible way. This is the second puzzle in our Introduction To Variant Sudoku series. It's a Sequence Sudoku by Thomas Fink from the 8th annual German Sudoku Championship qualifier, which took place last weekend (link below).
We should stress that we are NOT saying this is an easy puzzle. But it should be a puzzle that retains all the beautiful logic you'd expect to see in a sudoku on the channel whilst not being overwhelmingly complicated. Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits along a grey line must increase by the same amount, in the same direction.
