Cooking Mama: Let's cook! Software

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 like this game, a lot. It’s like the DS games to a T, maybe a little harder so it’s not for people who don’t have experience with the game. However sometimes the gameplay can be a bit liberal, I know that you can be noticeably off and it’ll give you a Perfect anyway, and sometimes it doesn’t leave your mistakes and lets you try again if you mess up. But this game is for kids younger than the target age for the previous games and new players, so it’s understandable. The restaurant mode is like diner dash without the stress, and you don’t lose points when new people can’t enter your restaurant. But yes, the restaurant is only open for a certain amount of time a day. There are other things to do but I don’t think it counts towards unlocking recipes. Speaking of that, I’ve heard that you can now unlock recipes through the restaurant mode, and the recipe packs aren’t really that expensive so I’ll be thinking about getting them eventually. Anyway, don’t let the negative reviews turn you off if you really want the game! It really is fun once you get the hang of it.

I love this game, one of the best cooking games I’ve played in a long time. It’s really enjoyable to play and the mini games add another component to the game So it doesn’t get too monotonous. They are also very clever with the way they’ve done their ads, it isn’t forced but you are asked often and can always say no however you get rewards so I find myself often watching them, I really appreciate this as I don’t feel like the ads are forced down my neck. I also love how you can do a lot of things without having to pay at all and the foods are really achievable which is how it should be, often times other games basically force you into using real money to progress which is awful and exploitive. However I do understand where other reviewers come from like the mini games are a little pointless and saying it’s too easy but this is something I like, I play this game to relax and I enjoy it, I wouldn’t want it any other way. On a scale of 1-10 I would say an 9/10 so on this I’ll rate it a 5 :) I would recommend to a friend!
