Dinsun Review
Dinsun here. If you’ve played a virtual pet game in the last thirty years, you’ve played this. You feed it, you clean up its mess, you play some mediocre minigames to earn currency for hats. It’s well-made for what it is, but it’s remarkably generic.
The art style is clean and 'safe,' clearly aimed at a younger audience. There isn't any of the weirdness or personality that made the original Tamagotchis or Digimon stand out. It’s a functional digital pet, but it feels like it was designed by a committee. It’s fine for kids, but adults will find it tedious within an hour.
