Dinsun Review
There’s a strange, primitive part of my brain that likes seeing a messy virtual floor become clean. Renovation Master taps into that for a bit. It’s relaxing, sure, but it's barely a game. You just walk over things and they change state. I expected some level of 'mastery' as the title suggests—maybe some actual design choices or budget management—but it’s just another walk-to-clean simulator. The graphics are clean enough, and the controls work fine on a Mac with an M1 chip, which is a plus. However, once you've cleaned the third house, you've seen everything the game has to offer. It's a digital fidget spinner. It's fine for what it is, but don't go in expecting House Flipper; this is much, much simpler.
