Craftlands Workshoppe vs Food Street
Craftlands Workshoppe
Craftlands Workshoppe is a tycoon-like game that’s filled with fun adventures. In this game, you’ve inherited the workshoppe of your mentor, Allcrafts – the only master craftsman who managed to master all the craftmanship skills available, and your goal is to revitalize his workshoppe business and maybe make a name for yourself!The gameplay here is pretty much what I’d expect of a “grind simulator”. What this means is that the game, being a tycoon, requires you to gather resources or buy them, turn them into more valuable goods via crafting, and then sell them off at a nice profit margin - though you don’t have much say as to how much you can price your items. Rinse and repeat.
The game lets you choose between 3 starting professions, namely Alchemy, Cook, and Blacksmith, and from there, you can earn enough to purchase licenses to unlock the other professions. The goal here is for you to master them all. There’s actually a fourth profession, which unlocks the Assembly table, but that can only be obtained once you’ve completed a milestone quest.
Crafting is fairly easy for both Alchemy and Cooking since it either involves waiting out the cooking time or making sure to spend enough energy to brew the potion properly. However, for blacksmithing, there’s a little mini-game that you’ll need to play in order to make an item. Basically, there will be a fast-moving indicator on a meter and your goal is to click whenever it enters a green area on the said meter. If you miss, you’ll have to start over, wasting all the effort and energy you might have spent.
In short, Craftlands Workshoppe is a rather grindy tycoon-like adventure game that has a pretty humorous streak. Due to how grindy it can get, the game might just not be everyone’s cup of tea. However, if you’ve always had a liking for crafting-based tycoons and the idea of managing your own shop, and that you don’t mind spending hours just grinding away gathering materials, crafting items or selling goods, then this game should be right up your alley!
Food Street
Food Street is a restaurant simulation and management game developed by Supersolid. In this game, you'll get to set up and decorate your own virtual restaurant where you'll not only be managing it, but you'll also need to farm for the ingredients that go into your cooking. So, in some way, it's a farm simulation as well. That said though, the restaurant sim is still the main aspect of this game, so you can expect to spend a lot more time preparing dishes, serving them to customers and discovering new recipes as you go along.What's most appealing about this game is definitely its beautiful 3D models that bring the entire game to life. Of course, to make the game even more attractive to players, it's very social as well. Yopu can actually trade dishes or cook cooperatively with your friends.
Aside from having gorgeous graphics, Food Street also has one of the most addictive gameplay around for a restaurant simulation and management game. If you get the chance, you should really give this game a try - you'll love it!
