Cooking Mama Let's Cook! vs This War of Mine
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.
This War of Mine
This War of Mine is an indie, 2D survival management game that, unlike most games in its genre, is set not in a post-apocalyptic world but in a war-torn country. Despite being war-themed, the game doesn't cast you into the role of the brave soldier but of the average citizen trying to make the best of the situation and to survive long enough until the war breaks (if it ever).Due to this twist of perspective, along with the fact that every decision and action you make has consequences, both mentally and physically, on the character who did the deed as well as the team, the game ended up having a very tragic undertone and atmosphere throughout its gameplay. After all, you do have to make some difficult decisions in an effort to keep your people alive. From time to time, special events may also pop up and you will need to make a decision to be involved or to stay out of it.
Survival is also another important aspect of the game, and as such, you will need to scavenge for supplies and ensure that your people are well-fed and watered. Materials, tools, and items you gathered over your trips outdoors can be used to craft something else or be sold for some extra cash. During wartime, people are naturally more cautious and for some, more aggressive. It's wise to be careful whenever you encounter other "people" (they are NPCs), especially armed ones, lest your character get slain and your team stumbles straight into depression.
This War of Mine made headlights and game history with its challenging gameplay and of course, its brutally-honest look at the true victims of war. If you think your heart is ready to go through a rollercoaster of emotions, most of which are of the "sad" sort, then, you simply must give this game a try.
