Dinsun Review
Look, I’ve been gaming for 35 years, and I still don't understand the obsession with cramming mediocre experiences onto a screen the size of a postage stamp. Watch Games Pack 2 is exactly what you expect: a grab bag of distractions that you'll play while waiting for a coffee and then forget existed. The 'games' here are barely more than tech demos for the Digital Crown.
Dinsun here isn't easily impressed by convenience. While it’s technically functional, there's zero substance. It feels like a throwback to the LCD handhelds of the 80s, but without the nostalgic charm or focused design. It's a novelty, and novelties don't make for good gaming. If you’re that desperate for a fix while away from your phone, maybe just look at the scenery for once.
