Dinsun Review
Hidden object games are the background noise of the App Store. 'Is This Yours?' at least tries to have a visual identity. The art is charming in a way that reminds me of children's book illustrations, which is a nice break from the hyper-realistic stock photo mess most of these games are. The scenes feel a bit more lived-in, which I appreciate.
However, at the end of the day, I’m still just squinting at a screen to find a hidden thimble. There is no innovation here. No clever mechanical twists. It’s just 'click the thing on the list.' For a 40-year-old gamer, this is barely a game—it's more of a vision test. It’s okay for a quick distraction, but it’s not something I’d ever recommend paying for or spending significant time on. It's a 48—better than the trash, but far from good.
