Craftlands Workshoppe vs Restaurant Dash: Gordon Ramsay
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!
Restaurant Dash: Gordon Ramsay
Restaurant Dash: Gordon Ramsay is the cooking-themed time management game to play if you're looking for a game that's like Cooking Fever or Cooking Dash and yet is different enough to be fun. Developed by Glu and endorsed by none other than the Culinary King himself, Gordon Ramsay, this game has the exhilarating and fun gameplay that you'd come to expect from a time management game where you'll need to prepare, cook and then serve your customers with the dishes they've ordered. However, all of this chaos of running around the kitchen is made funnier with famous quips from a cartoon Gordon.Since the game is a more fleshed-out time management game, there are plenty of upgrades for both your restaurant and your kitchen. Deciding which upgrade to buy first can be quite a challenge, but thankfully, if you've got time on your hands, you can easily replay any level to earn more coins. The recipes in this game can also be upgraded once you've got enough ingredients so you cna earn more profit.
The most interesting aspect of this game though is its battles. You can actually battle other players to climb up the leaderboard or even "bosses" like Gordon himself. So, if you enjoy time management games that will see your character running around the kitchen, Restaurant Dash: Gordon Ramsay is a really great game to play. It's free and it has Gordon in it - what's not to love, right?
