Dinsun Review
Dinsun here. It’s Solitaire. You know how to play it, and so does every computer since 1990. Adding a farm on top doesn't make it a new game; it just gives you a reason to keep playing the same card game over and over. The farming mechanics are as shallow as a puddle—you click a building, wait for a timer, and get a reward. It’s an Skinner box in a straw hat.
I’ll give it credit for being fairly relaxing, and the card layouts are clear enough for older eyes. But the 'Difficulty' is often artificial, designed to make you use power-ups that you eventually have to buy. It’s a competent time-sink for people who just want to do something with their hands while watching TV, but it’s not exactly 'gaming' in my book.
