Cooking Mama: Let's cook‪!‬ 4+

I’m an adult and don’t believe in “too old” bc that’s a man’s rule not based on a firm foundation of knowledge that I’ve seen so I disregard those silly “rules” society tries to place on us.

I enjoy trying to learn new techniques in cooking games. Creating one is a goal of mine but my coding is still on a basic level but playing games I’ve done a long time and this game has too many ads that I can’t seem to buy out, can’t remove them. I won’t keep this game long if I can’t get rid of ads permanently. Not going to rent this type of game - ever. I won’t rent items either. Meaning I’ll never make a purchase unless I can accomplish those things.

In my opinion, cute, fun if you can endure lots of ads with no end. Love the combination of things you can do. They cover fishing (kinda weird technique but cute), gardening, selling, making. Wonderful opportunity here has fallen into their greed. It could’ve been perfect for everyone. Kids should be able to have this as an ad-free game that has recipes for a ONE TIME purchase. It’s a (ad cow) cash cow right now.

I have had this app on my phone since i was in NINTH GRADE (age 14). i’m 24- going on 25 now & this is one of the only games/apps i keep on my phone. It’s low stress/anxiety and very calming after a long, crazy day. The recipe packs are super cheap to the point i own every single one. There’s so many recipes to earn/buy that I still haven’t made every recipe, let alone master them all. Not sure what people are talking about when they mention ads? I get one maybe every 30 mins - sometimes i go longer without seeing one. The other ones you can watch to earn coins, which i earn through recipes, the restaurant, the farm, etc. There’s so much to do in one game. Not to mention the major nostalgia value. I don’t know - I guess I don’t understand why everyone’s so butthurt when i’ve been playing this game for at least 15 years and have nooo issue with this version. I feel like y’all are just mad you have to pay for the recipes now instead of earning all of them. It’s an app - like *most* apps, there’s a paywall for certain things. Quit whining.

Side note for the game developers: i would absolutely LOVE some new recipe packs soon! I know they take time to roll out though, so i’ll be patient!

I have played cooking mama for a very long time, of course I deleted the app because I got a bit too old for it. I just got this game today and played it for a while. I miss the old version really bad. In my opinion, I don’t really like the 3D on cooking with mama. I also don’t really like how flashy it is with ads and just everything else. The father that was added to the game is confusing, Idk where he went after I pressed “mama”. I think It’s been 9 years since he went out to get milk from the store, I haven’t seen him. With the restaurant that was added really confused me as well, I just miss the cook book and everything else that made the game so different from the rest. If it’s 2019 and all this great technology that makes games 3D in an amazing way, then spend time on making it look like that than make it look like any other weird 2 year old game. I just want my old cooking mama back to the way to was. I will no longer have the app after this review has been written and this may not be ever read by any of you creators.
I also just started watching anime (As in Naruto Shippuden Season 6-far) so this game hit me hard, I don’t remember cooking mama being in Japan/China! And then she does all this anime-type stuff. I just want to forget about what I have encountered and just remember the old cooking mama I loved. Thank you for your time.
