Yo, ho, ho, and a bottle of rum! Ahoy there me lads and lasses! It’s me again, your favorite app pirate. Most of the crew are out finding some booties. Me and two other buckos were assigned to prepare the foods. You know how good this old salt is in the kitchen, so everyone is looking forward to a great meal. Har, har, har! Well, I can’t blame them as they have tried my delicious dishes and they were always satisfied. I’ve always been into cooking, and aye, even the games I play are about them. In fact, I will share with you one of these apps I play before I start cooking. Batten down the hatches and let me tell you more about the game called Cooking City – Cooking Games by Magic Seven Co. Limited.
It has attractive visuals and engaging sounds
If you love pretty artwork in games, you will not be disappointed with this as it has stunning visuals. The work they put on every detail was impressive too. The cooking area is more spacious than most similar games, so you can enjoy seeing the ingredients better and how they are cooked, which makes the game engaging. The background music also adds to it. It’s lively without being too loud, so you can still focus on the game instead of being distracted. Even the sound effects while cooking like the sound of boiling water or sizzling foods add to the positive experience. Since there are different cities and restaurants, the dining area and the outdoors also change.
It’s free but it’s bombarded with advertisements
This game is free to download, and once installed, you can play offline, which is phenomenal as you can keep playing anytime. However, it’s also bombarded with advertisements, which can be long and impossible to close. It can even sometimes cause the game to freeze, which is inconvenient and frustrating as you have to close and open the app to keep playing.
It’s content rich
You will not easily run out of levels to play as this game is content rich. As of this writing, there are over 2,000 levels to play and more are being added regularly. Moreover, there are also various restaurants, ingredients and appliances to unlock, so you can always look forward to something fresh. Even the goals for each level change, so although the overall gameplay is the same, it doesn’t feel repetitive.
It’s hard to progress without an in-app purchase at some point
The game comes with free coins and gems, aside from the ones you earn from completing the levels. However, you will reach a level where it would be difficult to progress with just those. It feels like a pay to win type of app at this point. Although, it’s still up to you if you want to make an in-app purchase or not, it gets frustrating if you keep playing for free as it takes a lot of time to move forward as upgrades are expensive, which you would need to finish these levels.
Thumbs up
It’s free and you can play offline. There are thousands of levels with hundreds of various ingredients and appliances to unlock. There are different cities and restaurants too, so expect a variety when it comes to background and recipes. It also has engaging sounds.
Thumbs down
There are too many annoying advertisements and it’s hard to progress at some point without making an in-app purchase.
The verdict
We recommend Cooking City – Cooking Games to those who are into cooking and time management games. It has the same gameplay you know, but with plenty of levels in various cities that offer different restaurant themes, ingredients and appliances. It’s fun and engaging, especially with its impressive visuals and sounds. You can also play offline after installation.
