Dinsun Review
I've been playing 'brain trainers' since the DS era, and Einstein HD feels like a direct descendant of that trend. It’s solid. The 30 exercises are varied enough to keep you from getting bored in the first week, and the stats tracking is genuinely useful for seeing where you’re lagging—usually 'Calculation' for me these days. My main issue is the presentation; the Einstein avatar and his robot friend feel a bit like low-budget edutainment from 2012. Also, the timer is brutal. There’s no 'zen mode' for when you just want to solve the puzzle without the ticking clock causing a panic attack. It’s a good value for the content provided, but don't expect it to actually turn you into a genius. It’s just digital crossword puzzles with better metrics.
