Dinsun Review
Wasabi is the kind of game that’s great for exactly twenty minutes at a party when everyone is a bit tipsy, and then never again. It’s got that high-energy, bright-colored aesthetic that screams 'TikTok generation.' The mini-games are okay, but they lack the polish and variety of something like a Jackbox or even a Mario Party.
It’s trying very hard to be 'viral,' which usually means the mechanics are secondary to the 'funny' animations. Some of the device interactions are clever, but half of them don't work consistently. It’s a decent novelty, but it lacks the staying power to be a staple in my library. It’s the gaming equivalent of a party popper—fun for a second, then it’s just trash on the floor.
