Dinsun Review
Dinsun here. I’ve watched the show, and I’ve played the games. This one tries to capture the 'pressure' with multiplayer, which is a bold choice for a cooking game. The mini-games are tactile—swiping to chop and rotating to stir—which works fine for a few minutes.
But here’s the problem: it’s repetitive. Once you’ve sliced one virtual onion, you’ve sliced them all. The judging system feels a bit arbitrary, and the 'multiplayer' often feels like you're playing against ghosts. It’s a 65 because it's technically functional and the brand is well-integrated, but it’s not going to win any Michelin stars in my book. It’s fast food in game form.
