Yo, ho, ho, and a bottle of rum! Ahoy there me lads and lasses! Your friendly app pirate and the crew visited some of our landlubber friends that we have not seen for a long time. We had a great time as they showed us around their lovely city. We only stayed for a couple of days, but we made sure that we made the most out of it. We tried various activities, but my top favorite was trying the local restaurants around the area. You know how much this bucko loves food, right? Har, har, har! I’ve learned some new recipes and I can’t wait to try them on the ship. For now, let me give you an app review that is also related to food. The game is called We Are Cooking: Taste of Life by Matryoshka.
It has entertaining images, animation and sounds
The images are not as sharp and high quality as similar cooking games, but it’s still entertaining, especially since there are different restaurants to unlock, which also means different themes and foods. The customers look more like the drawings that you will see in children’s books, but the food and kitchen equipment are superb because of their details. The sounds that you will hear when cooking and filling drinks also add to the overall experience. Even the background music is upbeat but not too loud, so it’s still calming. The animation when foods are prepared and served also makes it more enjoyable.
It’s fun and relaxing
This game is fun, especially if you are into cooking and time management games. It’s more relaxing than similar cooking games because although it has a time limit, you don’t have a specific goal or objective that you need to reach for the day. You can earn as much as you can within the time limit without being penalized.
It has fair progression
The game starts easy, which is good as you can familiarize yourself with the process and interface before it gets more challenging. The difficulty level also gradually increases as more items are being added each day. For example, you start with a simple hotdog sandwich on the first day, then have more options to add ketchup on the next day, and so on. It gets more challenging, which is also needed to prevent the game from being boring. It gets less exciting if you will just see and do the same things over and over again.
It’s free but with excessive advertisements
You can download the game for free, but the advertisements are excessive. Although you can get rewards from watching some advertisements, you get more after watching them, and they are long, which makes it feel like you spend more time watching ads than playing. Some of the upgrades also cost more when you reach higher levels, which can slow down progress.
The good
It’s free and there are different restaurants to unlock. It’s fun and relaxing, and the level of difficulty gradually increases, which keeps it exciting. The animation, sounds and images are all positive features of the game.
The bad
There are excessive advertisements and upgrades get expensive at some point.
The verdict
We recommend We Are Cooking: Taste of Life if you love cooking and time management games. This is more relaxing than similar games since you are not forced to hit a goal, although it has a time limit. It’s free to download and it treats you with different restaurants to manage that also comes with a variety of themes, food and equipment. The images are adorable and it has lively music and sounds. It has fair progression, so you can familiarize yourself with the game before it gets more challenging.
