Dinsun Review
Once again, I find myself looking at a digital toy. Jinja's Garden is sweet, safe, and entirely devoid of anything a gamer would call a 'mechanic.' You tap a flower, it grows. You tap a bird, it sings. This is great for keeping a toddler occupied in a car, but as Dinsun, I have to be honest: this isn't for us. It’s well-made for its target age group, but it lacks any form of depth or challenge.
I respect Sago Mini for their consistency and quality in the kids' space. The art is great and the sound design is soothing. But I’m a 40-year-old man; I can't find 'fun' in a game where the only fail state is the battery dying. It’s a tool for parents, not a game for players.
