Mad Restaurant People

Mad Restaurant People

This game is fun and challenging at the same time.

The beginning starts “easy” but after the first levels you will see how stressfull the game can get.

Edit: I played through all of the levels, exept for the last two, which are in my opinion too hard to complete them.

Food Decisions

Food Decisions

The main gameplay is to compare the values and select the food needed for the task. Generally speaking, this game is boring, but it taught me a lot of common sense. Let me realize the importance of healthy diet. With that in mind, I decided to give a good review.

a really lovely little puzzle game with cute theming and a cute story to go with it ♥

I completed about 90% of the puzzles in inbento on mobile over a handful of hours before my attention was pulled to other things - I’m happy to be supporting the team by buying a second copy on PC for a couple dollars to finish up those last few levels and see the ending.

This is one of the best puzzle games I have ever played. Not my ### 1 but definitely in my top 5. While there were a few levels I found frustrating enough to need a guide, it wasn’t too many (4-5) and I was able to work out the solutions of most puzzles on my own. Some really good puzzles in this mix. It’s a unique approach to how you solve puzzles in this game, but it also feels like a natural evolution from the developer’s previous title Golf Peaks. Looking forward to their next game.

A well designed DLC and enjoyable progression. The problem is that it relies heavily on cutting things into certain size pieces which is nothing short of infuriating. I enjoyed it at first, but as I got more recipes with annoying cutting requirements it just ruined the experience. Also trying to pour 5ml of liquid is annoying as well. At home I use a measuring cup so if I pour too much I can correct it. In game I have to use the mouse and time it right or get gotcha’d. I hate the cutting, and the physics can be annoying when you are moving around with plates and things fly off or bang into the wall. Gameplay that relies on the cutting mechanic ruins this DLC. The Pizza DLC was such a nice step forward, this one would be as well if the cutting was changed or removed.

Overcooked! All You Can Eat

Overcooked! All You Can Eat

Even that the game has some bugs that Team17 doesnt fix and the game doesnt have much new levels…

PROS:

Be able to play OC 1, OC 2 / DLCs, 7 New levels in One Game

Crossplay works better than OC2

Really fun to play with your friends

CONS:

Too expensive…

Some bugs (example: some stuff get stuck outside the level or above the walls/oven (plates, pizza….)

Response is a bit laggy comparing with OC2

If you’ve played Overcooked 1 or 2, this is simply a collection of both with some new levels, which is not worth a full price. If you’ve never played Overcooked series, this is the perfect one for you.

Good Pizza, Great Pizza - Cooking Simulator Game

Look, this is a good game; I love this game, I’ve played this since it was released on 2018 as a mobile game. So, why the bad review? Because that’s the problem that came since they released Chapter 4, the developers completely forgot about PC players and it’s just a mobile game you can play on PC.

Let me dive a little into the issues I’ve found since the 4th chapter release:

  • It takes you 12 hrs of real life time to grow the two/three new ingredients they’ve introduce; the major problem of this is they don’t give you a nice free plant like the eggplant you have on the counter. You have to grow them plant by plant on the garden and customers keep demaning those ingredients on their pizza EVEN IF YOU’RE OUT OF STOCK. I don’t know if it’s a bug because, if you don’t have stock of it but you’re growing it back in the garden they will ask you for it.

This game is absurdly addictive and has a surprising amount of heart for something that I was expecting to be a new take on Papa’s Pizzeria or similar games. There are several cute, weird storylines happening in the background that make starting each day refreshing and interesting. There are enough different customers with different orders to keep you on your toes, and puzzling out just what in the world some of them mean is a trick all of its own.

This game has its own kind of buffyspeak that you WILL find your self compulsively quoting in your waking hours and in your dreams. I work in food service and this is probably the game closest to the real experience, and somehow it still manages to be a great way to destress after a long day at my actual food service management job.

Awesome game, its Overcooked VR.

I’m about a third of the way through the game, and it has gotten really complicated. I’m now chopping, saucing, grilling, cleaning, and plating all at the same time with my friends, and its delightful yet difficult.

Technical:

The multiplayer lobby system is REALLY easy, its just a room code. The Netcode is also really great, the polish is high, I’ve honestly had zero technical issues with the game.

This is a multiplayer-forward game, if you want a more single-player oriented experience, I would direct you to Rags To Dishes.

This is probably the one of the best VR Cooperative games to play with friends when you want something chaotic ala Overcooked. Missions become harder and harder as one progresses, and even with 3 friends requires quite bit of coordination to get past some of the challenges with full 3 stars.

There is also a puzzle mode which is fun to do while waiting for everyone to be ready trying to figure out various recipes. Some feel a bit obtuse tho and dont provide enough hints on solving them.

There are occasionally some bugs as well, but these are relatively minor: Had desync issues (between people playing across europe and us) but this gets solved by reconnecting on the next round and are relatively rare. The mission difficulty also is a bit all over the place with the later where very hard missions (to get full stars on) get followed up with something that is a breeze to 3 stars, but not sure if thats intentional or not.

Restaurant Empire II

Restaurant Empire II

I’ve played Restaurant Empire II off and on over many years (counting that the first game is included in II). When buying REII you get the full original RE game included.

The graphics are basic, the AI of customers and staff very limited, and the interface clunky in that you have to do a lot manually and one by one - for example you have to add recipes individually to the restaurant menu. But. I find it strangely compelling to try to get my chef up to 100% skill levels in as many recipes as possible, moving him between cuisines to round off his skills.

As a fan of the first Restaurant Empire game, at first I was disappointed with this one. A lot of the animations are the same, and this game adds coffee and dessert shops, so you have customers eating sandwiches and cookeis with forks and knives. Also, all the customers are talking on cell phones and using laptops now, which is annoying when you’re waiting for a chance to click on them. I actually quit the game for a long time because of these irritations.

However, I recently came back to it and I’m glad I did. It’s a lot of fun as a strategy game, and still fun just to tinker around with the restaurants and watch the chefs cook. The first game lacked female chefs, aside from Delia, but this time there are plenty of them, and that’s a welcome change too. The game isn’t very difficult, but it has some challenge to it, and it’s hard to find challenging strategy games these days.
