Cooking Craze vs Overcooked
Cooking Craze
Cooking Craze is a very addictive and yet surprisingly easy-to-play time management game developed and published by Big Fish Games. Featuring a linear progression path resembling what you'd see in a standard match-3 games, Cooking Craze is so different from all the other similar cafe or restaurant-themed time management games mainly through its unique gameplay - it's very simple and well-suited for the mobile market. As opposed of having to drag and drop stuff on a small mobile screen, the game is designed so that you can simply tap once to prepare the foodstuff, another 1 or 2 times to add "toppings", and once more to serve the food to your customers. Coins that are left behind are then automatically collected.Not to mention, Cooking Craze also has a 3-tier per level system whereby each new tier represents a higher difficulty level. You are not forced to replay a level just to complete all 3 tiers, unless there's a golden comment card, which is needed to unlock new restaurants, attached to the second or third tier rather than the first, but you'll end up having more coins to spend on food and tool upgrades if you do.
Cooking Craze is indeed a very intriguing time management game (since it's likely the first of its kind) that's just perfect for casual gamers to put in a couple of minutes of play in between the gaps in their schedules and daily routines.
Overcooked
Overcooked is a fun cooking-themed time management game that has a wicked, co-operative twist - instead of managing workers in your kitchen like some version of Gordon Ramsay, you will get to play with up to 4 of your friends. By now, you can probably imagine the havoc around the kitchen as each of you dashes around in order to get a dish from its humble beginning as raw food into something actually edible. Of course, the game does have a single-player mode if you prefer to play on your own, but admittedly, the game becomes a whole lot more entertaining when other humans are added to the equation.The game also has a quirky storyline set in the fantasy kingdom called Onion Kingdom. Apparently, the kingdom is in danger and only through cooking will you be able to save it. In your adventure, you and your team of chefs will journey through a series of unusually interesting kitchens in hopes of gaining the skills needed to defeat the edible evil which threatens the land.
Overcooked is definitely the game to play if you're into hectic co-op games that will not only push your team's time management skills to the limit, but also put your friendship to the test!
