Dinsun Review
I appreciate the attempt at a 'Wild Kingdom' simulator, but this is a technical mess. The concept of raising a cub or a bear family is fine for kids, but the execution is so buggy it's barely playable. I spent twenty minutes trying to 'feed a cub' that didn't exist because the game forgot to spawn it.
Then there’s the ad problem. You get hit with an ad every 10 to 60 seconds. It completely breaks any sense of immersion you might have in the 'wild.' Six dollars to remove ads is a steep ask for a game where the graphics are skewed and quests frequently fail to register. It’s a low-effort cash grab disguised as a family-friendly animal game.
