Cooking Mama Let's Cook! vs Westworld
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.
Westworld
Westworld is a 2D town management game much like Fallout Shelter, but is set in the dystopian world of HBO's hit TV show, Westworld. In this game, you are given complete access to the official Delos Park Training Simulation (DPTS). The simulation will allow you to not only build and control the park, but also to create, upgrade (in a wide variety of ways) and evolve your AI hosts. There are over 170 different AI hosts you can manufacture and collect, and it is up to you to match the right hosts with the correct guests. The game has many new park locations for you to unlock as well.The game may feel a bit bland due to its idle-like nature - there's no strategy or creativity involved, and a lot of the time, you'll just be tapping to collect stuff. Some have also complained that the host leveling system is very grindy since you'll need to get a ton of hosts just to level one up to its max level, and well, hosts aren't exactly easy to obtain.
That being said, if Westworld is your current obsession, these little issues aren't enough to deter you to give the game a try. The game is free after all.
