Cook, Serve, Delicious! Review (Nelie)
Very fun and enjoyable typing game, that makes good use of ingenious mechanics to add complexity to an otherwise simple concept. I especially liked how some recipes created a different flow on the keyboard, while presenting unique challenges you had to overcome.
(I only played on extreme so the experience might be different on normal)
Pros:
- simple and easy to navigate UI (there are some weird menu interactions like how you have to go to the "View/Buy Foods" tab to test recipes, but there aren't that many and you get used to it)
- straightforward gameplay that also needs a bit of strategy to play well
- good humor
- music
- diverse and fun recipe cards
- challenging (I wouldn't say it's especially hard but you need to be able to touch type to have a good time)
- not annoying to get all achievements
Cons:
- a few annoying bugs (mostly in the UI)
- becomes repetitive after a while (especially the final star rating)
- difficulty is somewhat inverse if you play on extreme because you don't have any upgrades in the beginning
- you can't discard a dish to redo it if you failed (its annoying when you miss a perfect day because your hand slipped and added the wrong ingredient in a single soup from like 100+ orders)
