Dinsun Review
I've been around long enough to see trends come and go, but the 'mascot horror' craze is wearing thin, and Garten of Banban 6 is a prime example of why. It feels less like a game and more like a series of interconnected corridors designed to deliver the next loud noise. The puzzles are basic logic-checks that don't respect the player's intelligence, often serving as mere speed bumps in an otherwise short experience. If you've played the first five, you know exactly what to expect, and that’s the problem—there’s zero evolution here.
The narrative is convoluted for the sake of being 'mysterious,' but it lacks the structural integrity to make me actually care about the lore. The environment is sterile, and while the character designs are definitely weird, they lack the genuine menace found in horror classics. It’s a budget experience that feels like it was rushed to market to capitalize on a fleeting YouTube trend. As a gamer who values tight mechanics and atmosphere, this just feels like empty calories.
