Dinsun Review
Look, if this gets people off the couch, fine. But as a game, it’s paper-thin. It’s basically a spreadsheet that rewards you for walking. The 'encounters' are automated and require zero tactical input. It lacks the polish and social features of Pokémon GO, and the 'adventure' feels like a secondary thought. It's a tool for exercise with some mediocre monster art slapped on top. I'll stick to my actual hikes and my actual games, thanks. Combining them like this just makes for a mediocre version of both.
