Dinsun Review
I don't understand the fascination with these games. Big Makeover is a textbook example of predatory casual design. You play the same tired match-3 puzzles just to click a button and watch a room change color. There is no creative agency here; you're just following a script. The narrative is shallow and leans heavily on tired tropes about self-worth being tied to a new haircut. From a technical standpoint, it’s just a vehicle for advertisements and microtransactions. It offers nothing new to the genre and frankly feels like a waste of processing power. If you’ve played one of these, you’ve played them all, and this one doesn't even try to hide its lack of ambition.
