Dinsun Review
Donut Games has a very specific 'look'—clean, colorful, and distinctly mobile. Monkey Flight 2 doesn't stray an inch from that template. You pull back a tree, you launch a monkey, and you hope physics is on your side so you can hit a few fruits before face-planting into the mud. It's the kind of game you play while waiting for a bus, but it offers very little to keep a serious gamer engaged for more than five minutes.
There's no real progression here other than seeing a number go up and collecting three stars on every level. While the new environments add a bit of variety, the core mechanic is exactly the same as the first game. It’s functional, the frame rate is stable, and it’s devoid of the modern monetization 'dark patterns' that plague newer games, which I respect. But frankly, it’s a bit too 'kiddie' and shallow for my taste.
