82/100

Delicious World is a delightful entry into the time-management genre that actually cares about its story. Emily is a relatable protagonist, and her journey to become a chef across the globe provides a much-needed narrative hook that most cooking games lack. The writing is surprisingly charming and keeps you invested in her personal growth as much as her culinary skills.

Mechanically, the game is polished and challenging. Each level introduces new recipes and kitchen gadgets that keep the gameplay from becoming repetitive. The difficulty curve is well-tuned—it starts easy enough for anyone to pick up but eventually requires serious multitasking and strategic upgrades to achieve three stars on later stages. It’s a bright, colorful, and fast-paced game that satisfies that 'one more level' itch perfectly.

Dinsun Review

I’ve seen enough of these 'Diner Dash' clones to last a lifetime. Delicious World tries to set itself apart with a story about Emily finding love and success, but it’s laid on a bit thick for my taste. The core gameplay—tapping ingredients in order—is frantic and functional, but it quickly hits a wall where you either have to wait for 'energy' or open your wallet. It’s a classic mobile trap. The art is hand-drawn and looks nice, but the constant pressure to buy power-ups to clear levels ruins the pacing. If you like the story, you’ll tolerate it; if you just want to cook, find something else.
