Cooking Live: Restaurant diary 4+

Rylan W.

First of all I just wanted to say that I LOVE this game! It is so amazing and it has several of different restaurants, you can build and design your restaurant and cook the food to get stuff to design. If you like designing and cooking this is the PERFECT game for you!! I would decently recommend this game. Reading some other reviews they say there are some hard levels which is true but you can get through them and it is actually fun to have a hard level here and there to give you a little challenge. Please don’t give up on such an amazing game if you don’t like hard and challenge then this isn’t the game for you. Do give bad reviews because the levels are hard, that’s just you being lazy and if they fix it and make it easy for YOU that makes it boring and easy for other people. So when playing this game or any game be considerate of other people. It is helpful, be a kind person it will benefit you. Anyway if you are up for designing, cooking, and a little challenge I would recommend this game. I will say it again, and again I LOVE THIS GAME!!

They Set You Up For Failure

***I recommend playing with wifi off and on airplane mode. If you need wifi on, its much faster to close and reopen the game then it is to sit through and attempt to close the ads*** The gameplay itself is fun and the decorating is decent if basic. I’ve never lost a level, or even had an food burn. My gripe is that it is literally impossible to upgrade your restaurant resources unless you watch an absurd amount of ads to earn coins, at least in the first two “chapters” so far. The developers have made it literally impossible to complete the upgrades and unlock the puzzles at the end. I could *maybe* understand this as an incentive to watch ads voluntarily, if they didn’t play an ad after every single level. They also stunt your ability to earn coins in the levels, you can combo up to 5 but then it resets to 1?? Its literally easier to rack up gems, I’ve never run out, but I'm constantly out of regular coins. It baffles me that there’s just not the very basic ability to continue playing levels within the same restaurant even after you have all the stars for the level. It can’t be that difficult to program in more levels that generate orders within reasonable parameters without human input. “We know you don’t like ads but thats what enables us to keep the game free!” There are plenty of other similar games that have a *quarter* of the ads in this game, and they don’t deliberately handicap their users

NOPE!!! I just started but have issues

Why do we need to spend gems and coins for upgrades? I’ve played several other cooking games and have NEVER had to do this. Watch ads to increase rewards which is NECESSARY to upgrade. Then watch a forced ad after. The first 2 ads I had to watch were the same. We all hate ads but know they are necessary, unless you play Township, Monopoly Go, Monopoly Solitaire or Chef & Friends (which is an awesome cooking game btw), but to watch the same ads over and over plus one right after the other is so much worse. The tutorial does not allow you to opt out of selecting what it tells you to which is another thing I don’t like. The story isn’t anything interesting. The gameplay isn’t anything special either. Even though I just started playing having to use gems for upgrades, the fact that it is necessary to opt to watch ads to upgrade or advance and the fact that nothing has kept me interested is the reason I will be deleting this game after this review. I will say that it is not hard to land on the 5x rewards when opting to watch ads even though it really doesn’t feel like much of an option. Developers really should make coins enough to purchase upgrades and save the gems for boosts when they run out like most other games of this sort. Having the option to watch ads for boosts instead of making them necessary to get anywhere would be a great improvement as well.
