Cooking Mama Let's Cook! vs Puzzle Pirates: Dark Seas
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.
Puzzle Pirates: Dark Seas
Puzzle Pirates: Dark Seas lets you dive right into a brand-new puzzle adventure in this brilliant pirate-themed and kid-friendly MMO game. Touted as being the "gloomy" sequel to the popular Puzzle Pirates, this game retained many of the same features that had allowed the original to continue to thrive up until this day while adding in a dark twist to things to reflect its new theme.Play cooperatively with your fellow crew as you set sail to search for treasures or simply to take on other rival pirates at sea. With tons of fun mini puzzle games to enjoy, each of which has their own leaderboards for you to compete against other players on, you'll never get bored playing this game. Like the original, you can even customize your character by dressing him or her up in cool new clothes along with your own ship.
However, to spice things up, the game has also added in more challenging gameplay such as hunting sea monsters which can take quite awhile to complete. You can now become the governor of a Pirate Haven as well, in addition to managing your own shop, and crafting new items for your pirate to use or to sell.
Puzzle Pirates: Dark Seas is a great sequel to a timeless and child-friendly MMO game. Unlike its predecessor though, Puzzle Pirates: Dark Seas is completely free-to-play. No subscription is needed to enjoy everything the game has to offer! It's just a pity that the game population is on the lower-end, but you still can have quite a lot of fun, especially once you've relearned all the skills and tricks you need to be good at all the puzzles again.
