Great game, but a couple of things...
Sat Dec 25 2021 SarahPlaysCookingDiaryFirst of all, this is a great game. I recommend it to people because it kills time and it is very fun and addictive. The levels are pretty easy, as long as you have good equipment, like any other restaurant game. The casino is fun and getting new restaurants with profits is a very fun idea! Now the bad things. First of all, the updated customers are kind of creepy. They move and are a bit distracting because of this. Cool concept though! The faces also are a bit weird, but I will set that aside. Earlier on in the diner, it takes a couple of levels to get one upgrade because of the lack of money you make, but after time, it gets way better. Another thing is that the casino is very hard to make a match in. I make a gem match sometimes, but if I do, I only earn one or two gems, which I find unfair because lots of the upgrades cost at least 5 or more gems, even at the early levels (unless it is just a coin upgrade, then it is easy to get), so I have to keep playing recent levels to get more XP, keep wasting my coins at the casino in hopes of getting maybe a couple gems, or wait until the next day to get gems, which you might have restarted the daily count already, so you might have to wait about a week for gems to come back, so you would keep losing the level for a while until you completed any of these options. Other than these problems, I have no complaints about the game and I think it is great over all.
the casino is rigged
Wed Dec 08 2021 ur math teachrits a great game and all, but the thing is i never have enough gems. the only way i can get some is by buying them. but im not about to spend money on a game like this. I keep being stuck on level 7 just because of how i dont have another almond mixer machine. If i buy something, then i would need to buy another thing to balance and win a level. but i need diamonds for both of those things. Also the casino, i have many coins just earned from replaying some of the fast food levels. i cant get all 3 stars for level 40. i always need to buy cupcakes all the time which is why i lose gems. the main source of fun in this game is to have gems and gems are the thing that you can never find and thats the bad thing. The most thing you need is the thing you never have. Ive spun the casino over 30 times and only got 3 diamonds over 2 times. The game is rigged because the casino never matches and if it does it always gives me the coins or just nothing at all. i even got an achievement to spin it 15 times and still lose. ITS THAT RIGGED. and it doesn't matter how much times you spin or how much money you spend. you cannot win multiple times. at this point i cant do anything until the daily thing the next day. i have too many coins and 0 gems. if there was a machine that could turn coins into gems. it would definitely make me love the game. maybe 1k for 2 gems. because the easiest thing to make in the game is coins.
SO ADDICTIVE, but the gems….
Sat Jan 01 2022 sisiasisiI have had this game since I was six. I’m ten now, and I still have it. I’ve made lots of progress, but for the past 4 years, I’ve been resetting. I tried to stop resetting and actually found that I made progress. It’s such a great app, and it’s so relaxing and addictive. But I have a few suggestions. I noticed that every time you get a level up, you get a new restaurant, but sometimes they come before other restaurants that cost less. And that’s because of the difficulty. But it’s hard to remember. The latest one that I unlocked was the Sushi Restaurant. It costs the same amount as the Breakfast Cafe AND the Chinese Restaurant, and yet it’s SO hard. Plus, the upgrades for every single restaurant costs a lot of gems, so I usually upgrade everything to two to fit my budget, and it still annoys me. And when I’m out of gems, I have to play levels to earn coins and XP. I use the coins for the Casino and it takes WAY too long to get 15 or 2 gems, plus it takes a while to get to a new level once you get to level 28 because you have to get TEN THOUSAND points of XP. I’m just saying, gems to be easier to gain and their should be clarification on the order of buying restaurants, from easiest to hardest. I did the Rock and Roll bar in more days that I did the breakfast cafe and yet the breakfast cafe cost more. But overall, I really like this game and it’s one of the best games that I have played.
Let’s talk gems…
Thu Aug 12 2021 saige torresI have been stuck to the screen for hours playing this game. It really is such a fun game to play, and it’s a nice way to spend the time. All of the details that the game has to offer are incredible. My one concern though, is the gems. I understand that every game has a gem, point System but this one is just too complicated. We use gems in this game for many things. For example you use them to upgrade items, or to open places. I just feel like getting gems in this game is so hard considering we have to use a lot of them. I understand that buying gems is an option but for me I just don’t find that useful. I just wish they had more opportunities to get more gems. I would really enjoy this game 10 times better if it weren’t for me having to constantly deal with the gems. To open a new place it takes gems, but it’s very expensive. I as one who doesn’t have very much gems find it hard for me to constantly be dealing with this problem. I just wish that the system that you guys have to offer was more thought through. With all that said, this game is personally a fav of mine. All the details that it has are truly amazing. I spent hours on this game serving my customers and it truly is such a fun challenge. I get to level up my items and make food to serve happy customers. Totally recommend to download this app! I would like it if the gems were a little more useful though.
I LOVE THIS GAME!
Sun Jan 07 2024 GIMMEDAROBUXI am a devoted cooking fever player who has been playing for two years, so this is my ENTIRELY honest review. First of all, people are either complaining that it’s a cash grab or that diamonds are hard to get. It’s not too hard, because A. there are tournaments and B. there is the casino, which increases your chances of getting good prizes the more you play. Also, this game is a great way to lose time when you’re bored because it’s addicting! I really enjoy this, and it’s NOT a cash grab. You can just replay levels, get coins, spend them on the casino, and possibly win gems. I know that most upgrades need gems but some don’t and that’s good enough. Anyways this game is a 10/10 and you don’t have to spend money just be patient Here’s a tip for the creators (Nordcurrent) I noticed that most of the complaints are about gems, and if not, it’s about the game being a cash grab. I don’t think so, but maybe you should make it a little easier to get gems because I myself agree that I have to replay level forty of my bets restaurant at least 10 times, spend it on the casino, and at most get 2 shards. But I sometimes get lucky, which is great. Anyways have a good day oh ya and also I think it’s really thoughtful of you to consider reviews (seriously you guys are the most thoughtful game production company I have ever seen)
Only because of gems.....
Fri Oct 23 2020 stephaniegunnisonThis game is great and I absolutely love playing it, BUT I am seriously reconsidering finding a new cooking game to play. The gems are basically what run this entire game and are EXTREMELY hard to come by. You only get them for logging in every single day(only after a week of doing so daily) and then you only get 2 each day, or by leveling up which can take quite some time depending on your levels and restraint upgrades, or trying your luck at the casino and lastly by buying. Basically you have to buy them. You get TONS of coins upon coins upon coins but can’t do anything with them except play the casino or go towards buying a new restaurant(along with 20-30 gems). There needs to be a way to buy gems with the coins or more ways to earn coins easier. I have bought over 1200 gems during sales when you can buy 300 for $9.99 but it still hasn’t gotten me very far. I have already unlocked two whole other worlds with new restaurants and am still stuck playing the same levels because I don’t have enough gems to level any of my food/kitchen equipment or the interior of my restaurant lobby. Some of the simple upgrades for kitchen stuff take up to 20 gems just to upgrade one level out of three for each ingredient and cooking item. Please seriously consider making some changes to this because I don’t want to stop playing but I will be forced to like my son because of lack of gems. I don’t want to spend cash all the time just to be able to play this.
Great game but.
Tue Apr 21 2020 Allison FinkTo be honest, this is one of my favorite games on my iPad and it’s really fun. And one thing I love about is that your get too cook and it’s a challenge. But when I unlock a new restaurant I get so excited but it cost lots of money. And some times you have to redo levels, so if you do get this game you will have to work harder. And remember you will have to redo levels sometimes and stuff. But I love that in the game at a certain level you get the automatic cook machine this is really helpful if a lot of the times you have like a lot of customers, I think it’s way more faster when you have Max upgrade for the hotdogs or burgers. I would highly recommend and I think you really should get it when you have your gems. Save up because this is really helpful if you like to play the game a lot and you like really wanna do you like upgrades and you wanna unlock new places so far before I had it I didn’t have a lot of money but now I have a bunch because the machine. This game has so much stuff and I’m really happy because it doesn’t have a bunch of ads and it’s really realistic to bunch of like real life. But I feel like the cupcakes should be like you can spend money on them like for the upgrades because the germs and stuff I don’t think so. This is my review and I really really like the games please get it if you have a chance.
Pay wall that gets higher and higher as you progress
Tue Jul 18 2023 KingmasterdomI understand that devs want to make money through micro transactions, but it is poorly done in this one. First of all, to its defense, the first restaurant is very f2p friendly, but the more restaurants you get, the more you start to realize that you have hit a pay wall. The game becomes about grinding gems for a single upgrade that will barely do much in the short run. I would have preferred to have paid $5 per restaurant without the inclusion of gems for the beginning 1-2 upgrades while getting the 3-4th upgrades costing gems. The amount of money you would be paying for gems would have made you wish you would have paid for an actual game that cost money. I urge anyone to download and play though. If you are looking for a f2p, after mastering the first restaurant and maybe even the bakery, you’ll have to make the decision between giving them money or grinding coins for the casino for the small chance of getting free gems. It becomes very p2w at this point. I would have loved to purchase a full game version of this game without the inclusion of micro transaction (unless it is for coins, not gems) but this game asks for a lot of gems after awhile. It’s a shame, but with inflation and the cost of living increasing while wages remaining the same, I wouldn’t personally wouldn’t pay for gems. If you have money to blow, and you love this game, go for it.
WOW!
Tue Jun 28 2022 bhfgcgbWow! I love this app so much! It’s so addictive to just grab some blankets and smuggle myself in fluffy objects in a cozy place and play Cooking Fever! It drains hours away from my day and makes me overjoyed to wake up and play it! I have ADHD and am very anxious and loose attention to many games so I get bored easily, but this game really controls me and lets me focus and play. It’s fun to watch your restaurant grow and how every time something new is added you get a tutorial for it so your not lost! At first it was easy and I thought I’d get bored but you really know how to keep players intrigued every second of the game! The casino is very interesting and I love having tension in my brain when spending coins to try to get stuff! I like how you can upgrade stuff and the automatic cooker is so helpful! It helps me learn that I need to have a strategy to get all three stars! Something I would like is for diamonds to be more obtainable. Maybe each level you get a few diamonds if you complete a special thing? Or maybe instead of tasks just giving you coins they sometimes also gave you diamonds? Because it’s really hard to upgrade when diamonds are hard to get. Especially at the casino. Every once in a while I’ll get a few diamonds but it’s never enough! Nevertheless this is an amazing game so far!
Please fix this.
Fri Oct 06 2023 ToodooieI’ve spent money on this game but I still get ads that I’m unable to skip even though cooking fever has promise to “remove” the forced ads once we’ve made a purchase…with REAL money by the way. If it’s a bug or not fix it or give me my money back. (Over 60$ of it!!) It’s annoying and frustrating getting an ad after a level KNOWING I’ve paid for them to go away.
What’s also annoying is how overpriced and expensive this game is!! It’s like you HAVE to spend money or else it’s unplayable. The levels are hard and there’s no way on making them easier unless you buy the UNNECESSARY upgrades. Why am I still getting 7 gems from a level up?! I’m not on level 35 anymore and I’ve been unlocked multiple restaurants, so wouldn’t it be common sense to know that I need MORE than just a once in a while 7 gems for a 14 gem upgrade on ONE item?!? (The slot game is a total ripoff…why did I spend over 100k coins just to get 20k and 10 gems back😐)
Also don’t act like y’all are too busy to read and reply to this. I know there are multiple people in this game developing group or whatever. Stop giving us game updates that NOBODY has asked for. (example: the WAY over priced level boosters…it’s really helpful but why make it so expensive that nobody would even consider buying it. 5$ with tax for only 1 booster?!?) so start fixing the problems/requests that players actually need help with/want.
