The Cooking Game

Update: As of Dec. 19, 2019 this game was made f2p. People that had the game in their steam library before the special update received a special offer that they can claim when they boot the game up that gives diamonds and in-game cash. This obviously a port of a mobile game to pc, in which the in game purchases have been removed. And to be honest I was looking for a game like this on pc to play, without the extra purchases. I had played a few of them on mobile, but never paid extra so of course you can only go so far on those with the extra pay. I was having real fun playing this, completed the first two restaurant all with three stars and fully upgrade. Get to the third business, a cake and slurpee joint and low and behold I am stuck. Stuck due to lack of diamonds, things you are awarded during play when finishing levels. So now that this third store needs even more diamonds to upgrade things, very high charges of 10-20 diamonds on a lot of it, and I can no longer complete levels w...

Love it. It seems like a good game but I'm just started to play the game. I will come back with more details soon. There's a reason the reviews are so positive and that this little indie game is so popular. It's just good, 'nuff said. Additive even though it's not like actual cooking where we cut and chop.

Second Update on review: I still really want to give this game a good review but I can still only give it a neutral rating. As you can see I have over 182 hours play time...... There are a lot of good things about it and a lot of bad. Pros: Fun to play Great time waster Builds up your clicking muscles Overall attraction is great when you first start out Cons: -The game has a lot of bugs - i.e. glitchy where I can't move food around - it just sticks there (The developers DID answer my query however want a screen shot or video which I can't give since the glitches are sporadic) - Update -- so far with the last update this hasn't happened anymore - this continues to be true -- only minor glitches on some of the missions) -Ratio of getting 3 stars is about impossible (stupid me and I continue to be stupid - I keep playing the levels over and over again but just can't get 3 stars on levels past 30 on the 3rd, 4th and 5th restaurant) Don't get me wrong I love a challenge howeve...

This was originally a mobile game and was poorly ported to PC. It uses Diamonds as a currency which would work in a mobile version as IAPs. However in the premium PC version, after a few hours there are no ways to get extra Diamonds without some very hard grinding. You need diamonds to unlock new restaurants so you can't progress without them. There's also a daily reward for opening the game which makes no sense at all in a premium game. I paid my 10 euro and I expect to be able to play the entire game, not be drip fed it. I actually really enjoyed the gameplay and I was looking forward to unlocking the different restaurants, so I was extremely disappointed when I realised this awful design flaw. I requested a refund after 4 hours of playing, but if the developer fixes this issue I'd be happy to buy and play it again.

Having bought this on sale, I would say that at that price it was fair value for money. It is a campaign based game - no free play - that requires movement through each mission stage to obtain cash, diamonds and XP, then eventual levelling up. After about level 17/18 in each restaurant, customers arrive thick and fast and it takes lots of concentration to achieve mission successes thereafter. This increases difficulty to such a degree that it easier to give up. This is the barrier to further enjoyment. It's cost me about 30p (UK) per hour (so cheap) but I won't be spending any more time on it. If you are very fast with your mouse and can multi-task, then go for it. Given the short playabilty time, I can't recommend it, but at the sale price, you could give it a go and not waste a fortune.

Awesome cooking simulator game with cool graphics and wonderful soundtrack. The gameplay is quite addictive, especially the multiplayer part where you compete with others for highest scores, which is called "Chef on the go". It has many restaurants with different cuisines, i am still at the first restaurant atm - the fast food restaurant. Decorating and upgrading the restaurants is very fun and helps you increase your leaderboards scores.

oh boy, tap here to... sure, but im not even in the screen so i can do that. man this is one broken game.

Love the characters and the game play, Jennifer is so lovely and colorful. I recomand it. My whole family loves this game, I like casual gaming, it chills me out. Definitely very fun for kids.

This game is one of the best cooking game. Any sashimi and sushi lover should try it. I loved this game well thought out and executed. Great time killer game. I was looking for something new.

Just got this for my grandchildren and after about 10 minutes am requesting a refund. There is no way anyone can serve the very first customers with a hamburger in the time limit to have "happy" customers. This game is going to be frustrating for children. There are so few games that girls really like, to bad this isn't one of them.
