Dinsun Review
Dinsun here. If you know me, you know I respect systems that work. Football Manager is the gold standard. The 'Touch' version is a bit streamlined compared to the PC behemoth, which is actually a relief for a man with a full-time job. It’s dense, it's complicated, and it doesn't hold your hand. The 3D engine still looks like something from 2010, but that's not why we play. We play to find that 16-year-old wonderkid in the Bulgarian second division. It’s an obsessive, demanding game that rewards patience. Not for the casual 'FIFA' crowd.
