Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

92/100

Laya’s Horizon is a breathtaking masterclass in open-world movement that feels like a spiritual successor to Alto’s Odyssey, but with the added depth of a full 3D environment. As an expert in mobile gaming, I am struck by how Snowman has managed to make flight feel both incredibly technical and immensely relaxing. Using your cape to catch drafts, dive through narrow stone arches, and skim the surface of the ocean is a tactile joy thanks to the brilliant two-thumb control scheme.

The game excels by removing the pressure of traditional 'lives' or 'timers,' instead encouraging pure exploration. The island is dense with environmental storytelling and unique biomes, each offering different wind patterns and challenges. Earning new capes and charms provides a meaningful sense of progression without ever feeling like a grind. It is a rare mobile title that demands your full attention and rewards it with a sense of genuine wonder. If you have a Netflix subscription, this is an absolute essential that justifies the service on its own.

Awesome game, small bug fixes needed.
Sat May 27 2023 DakAttackify

Loved every minute of this game. It’s great for blowing time, while relaxing and having zero stress. I will say, it is a little difficult finding landmarks, as there isn’t any sort of direction leading you to new landmarks. Blue Triples and Dashwings are easy once you get the upgraded Bird Whistle Charm, but landmarks and landing points are difficult to find without knowing the map well. At this point, I’ve heated the game 99%, all I have left is to finish the Dashwing challenge with Skye, but that can’t be done until the last Dashwing can be captured. Problem is, the last Dashwing I have left is in Capital Cliffs, and it’s glitched. As you start to fly toward it, the directional icon disappears and eventually the bird itself goes away as you get closer. I’ve come from every angle wearing every cape/charm combo (not easy) and still haven’t managed to catch it, so it’s definitely a bug that needs to be patched. I would love to finish that challenge! Anyway, other than a few bug fixes, the game is awesome, and would love for more content to be added! Can’t wait for future update. 10/10 would recommend lol.

Love Hate this game
Fri Jun 09 2023 gardenia Glasgow

I really love this world, the graphics, the flying challenges and the flying! My avatars have flown in other games but this gliding experience is new and a fun challenge. I was frustrated that the map only has landmarks for major landing platforms and for the various races and challenges. But once you fly somewhere it’s not put on the map so you have to remember when you get a challenge to go do something in a specific area. I have a bad memory and a terrible sense of direction. But with practice and repetition I got better in knowing where things were but it took me a while. I love most of this game but the thing I hate are the controls to flying. They use airplane control directions. Meaning up is down and down is up. It took me a long time to get used to that as you’re not flying a plane, you’re gliding so imo it should be pull wings/arms in for down and out for gliding or ascent. But the worst part is when the phone heats up or I heat up, my fingers no longer seem to be recognized by the control. The reaction time is slow too. One race I can’t dive until way after the other competitors and I lose valuable time and control trying to dive down to follow the path to the end. And my heart races and I get frustrated and have to take a break before I throw my phone across the room. Otherwise I love this game and will be sad when I finish everything and there’s no new areas to explore or new challenges to try.

Soaring Into The Sunset
Wed Oct 04 2023 Random Guy 999

I’m honestly shocked that this is a mobile game. Mobile games are often known for their absurd in-app purchases, low-quality designs, and just general corporateness. Here we have a game that holds up not just as a mobile game, but as a game in general. There is a massive world to explore, with unique controls and characters with actual personality. You could try to complete all of the quests, collect sparks and do crazy stunts, gather a large photo album, or fill out the entire map. There is a ton of content to check out, and the fact that all you need to play is a Netflix subscription is shocking given the quality. Kudos to the devs for creating another great game. One issue: for some reason, the recent update causes the game to crash when you open your photo album. Is that just me?

Fun while it lasted
Sat Mar 21 2026 N1njaElit3

It’s a fun game, a great little time killer but there are some serious issues I have with it. First that every once in awhile I try and use two fingers to turn quick but for some reason it doesn’t register and I end up crashing. Second Flare’s last mission. Are you joking??! No matter what combination of cape and trinket I use I just can’t. 51/52 and I just can’t find a way to go through the 20 smoke rings to “Win”. Most I can get is 18 before they all start disappearing and why do they disappear??! It’s not a race, it’s supposed to be an obstacle course more or less so why make her ZOOM far ahead of you and make it the most stressful mission in the entire game? The worst part is the area she goes with the rocks jutting out of the side of the wall that you can barely see so I always end up crashing. Like I said in the title, it was fun while it lasted but after catching all the birds and completing all the missions (minus the one I refuse to play a 50th time) there’s not much else to do. Would be neat seeing a port to VR someday.

clunky controls ruin my experience
Sun May 04 2025 Lifestudent101

Controls are overly complicated. I get that they were trying to mimic where the glider's hands are with your finger's positions on the screen, but they ended up really clunky. I stopped playing after about 15 minutes because once I got the hang of the controls, I discovered I couldn't do 2 things at once, such as turn while climbing or turn while diving or turn while boosting or turn while boosting. The natural comparison would be Sky: Children of Light, but I found the controls so poorly thought out that they reminded me of the original Mario Cart. Don't get me wrong, it's totally playable, but it's not intuitive, and it's definitely not seamless. Graphics are choppy like N64, and there didn't seem to be a cute artsy reason for it. I didn't play long enough to find out if there is a story or bigger goal to the whole game, but it seemed to be centered around completing challenges, which is fine.

Relaxing yet Challenging
Sun Feb 04 2024 TRezendes

This game brings all of the fun, relaxation, challenge, and beauty of Snowman’s Alto games into three dimensions. I love this game as a way to kill time and destress. It’s fun to play even when I’m not attempting to complete any challenges or achieve any goals. Just gliding around the island without any particular purpose is enjoyable. I’ve encountered a few minor bugs. I once finished a race in first place by .03 seconds and the challenge didn’t get marked complete. Another time I collected 18 smoke rings on a “Collect 20 to win” challenge, and it DID get marked complete. These are trivial, though, and rare. They don’t meaningfully detract from the game.

You don’t need Nintendo Switch
Thu Aug 17 2023 Kiri11Squid

With such amazing games like this one! I play with a DualSense controller attached to my phone. It works really well. Graphics, gameplay, sound — everything is amazing. And the best part it’s included in Netflix subscription which I already have anyway! I wish more people discovered Netflix gaming, it’s great. There is some shader compilation stutter during the cutscenes, even on iPhone 14 Pro Max. The gameplay looks fine, though. Hopefully this is being fixed in future patches.

Controls too annoying
Thu Aug 27 2026 Michal O.

I have a large ipad. playing with touch controls where each thumb is both needed while trying to hold the tablet is impossible. but then i tried using a bluetooth xbox controller and still the controls are too counter intuitive. left and right control is disabled, only up/down on each thumb is used to turn. it’s so counter intuitive to what you’d think it’d be like that basic controlling is opposite of what you’d intuitively think. i find that very frustrating because it otherwise could be quite fun. side note, i find the cel shading cheap/lazy, personally. TO BE FAIR: if you mastered the controls with hours of getting used to and they became second nature, you might really enjoy it.
