Ahoy there me lads and lasses, it’s me again, yer favorite app pirate ready for another booty hunting adventure around the seven seas. We are headed to another promising destination that we found in a map. We did some research, and we found that many buccaneers tried their luck, but were unable to find the treasures. We are confident that we will find a lot of booties. Since it would still be approximately a couple of days before we reached our destination, we decided to have a little cook off for fun. Aye, we always come up with fun games, competitions and activities to kill time and enjoy too. Since we love cooking, we often have a cook off. The app that we will review is also about cook off. It’s called Virtual Families: Cook Off by Gogii Games Corp. Avast ye and let’s begin.
Fantastic graphics
There are different foods themes and background to unlock, and they all look amazing. Seeing the awesome graphics would make you want to keep playing. You will have a first person view of the restaurant where you will cook and serve the orders of the customers. The foods look realistic. For instance, the steak looks raw before cooking, and after cooking, it would change color like it was really cooked. The time also changes from day to night, so you will see a different look of the background.
It’s a mix of cooking and home décor game
If you are into cooking and home decorating games, you will love this app because it offers both. You get to play as the chef as you cook and serve the orders of your customers.
