Dinsun Review
Dinsun here. Iβve seen my share of management sims over the last twenty years, and most of them fail by cluttering the screen with useless UI. Mini Airways actually respects the player's intelligence by stripping away the fluff. Itβs reminiscent of Mini Metro, but the verticality of managing altitudes and the sheer speed of incoming jets adds a layer of genuine tension that kept me leaning forward. However, let's not get carried away; once you find the 'flow' for a specific map, the challenge plateaued faster than Iβd like. Itβs a solid port, but after three hours, youβve seen most of the tricks it has to offer. For a premium price, I expected a bit more meat on the bones in terms of long-term progression.
