Dinsun Review

This is 'Business Lite.' It’s meant for people who want the feeling of running a shop without actually having to do any of the math or planning. It’s too easy. You just tap to stock shelves and tap to take money. There’s no risk. A real business game should have you sweating over your margins, but here, the money just rolls in regardless of what you do. It’s designed to be 'cozy,' which in my book often means 'lacking challenge.'

The visual style is fine if you like that generic, rounded mobile look, but it has no personality. And like every other game in this bracket, it's infested with ads. You want to speed up your deliveries? Watch an ad. You want a bonus customer? Watch an ad. It breaks any immersion you might have had. It’s a decent enough time-waster for a kid, but for anyone who’s actually managed a project or a team, it’s just child’s play.
