Cooking Mama Let's Cook! vs Howrse
Cooking Mama Let's Cook!
Cooking Mama Let's Cook! is a true cooking simulation where you actually learn how to prepare the dishes yourself rather than simply clicking on the stove and waiting for the foodstuff to be cooked on its own. You can hone, in a casual sort of way, various actual cooking skills like chopping, baking, stewing, etc as you play the game. Not to mention, the dishes you've prepared can then be served to the customers in your virtual restaurant as well. The cash you earn can then be reinvested into your shop in the form of more kitchen appliances, better tools, more tables or nicer decor.Cooking Mama Let's Cook! sets the precedence for a whole new kind of cooking-themed games where players actually get to cook the stuff they want to serve. It may feel a bit arcade-y, due to all the cartoons and effects, but it does pave way to one of the most realistic cooking simulator I've seen on virtual reality, CyberCook Taster.
Howrse
Howrse is a text-and-graphics-based horse game by Ubisoft. The game has been on the internet since 2005 and is still going strong despite the emergence of graphically better horse games like Star Stable, Horse Haven Adventures and others. Unlike other horse games, Howrse focuses more on the management aspect of owning a horse ranch, requiring you to have good organization skills as you make sure your horses are all well-taken care of and trained. The game also has a competitive edge, allowing you to send your best horses out for challenging races. There are plenty of beautiful horses and ponies you can raise, as well as other fun features like horse breeding and trading too. You can even set up your own equestrian center and join up with a team so you'll have some company while playing the game.Howrse may not look like much on the outside, but once you've gotten into the game, you'll start to realize what a gem this game is. The depth of the gameplay is simply amazing for a text-based game, and of course, there's the irrefutable joy that this game has brought to horse and pony lovers worldwide for more than a decade! If it hasn't already, Howrse should definitely be deemed a horse game classic.
