Dinsun Review

As a football fan, this is frustrating. It tries to be 'New Star Soccer' but lacks the tight, addictive loop that made that game a classic. Instead, you're buried in menus about buying luxury cars and managing 'fame,' which feels like it was designed by someone who cares more about Instagram than the offside rule. The actual football matches are rudimentary at best.

The AI teammates are braindead, and the 'tactical' choices are basically non-existent. It’s more of a soap opera simulator with a football skin than a serious sports game. If you’re looking for a deep management experience, stick to Football Manager. This is just a collection of mini-games and progress bars that don't capture the spirit of the beautiful game.
