Cooking Mama Let's Cook! vs Happy Sandwich Cafe
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.
Happy Sandwich Cafe
Happy Sandwich Cafe is a sandwich shop simulation game where you not only get to run and manage a virtual sandwich shop of your own; you can even create your original sandwich recipes and test them out to get your customers' (and friends') feedback. The ingredients you need to make your sandwiches can be obtained via quests where you have to fulfill sandwich orders from the local farmer and grocery stores. You can unlock new ingredients by playing mini-games as well. With so many types of bread and fillings, you'll be running a shop that has an even wider variety of sandwiches and is better in any way than Subway in no time!Of course, being a shop simulation game, you'll also get to use the profits you've gained to improve the appearance of your, albeit 2D, shop in many ways, including buying signboards, repainting the walls, or adding some festive decor to welcome any special occasions. Fancy pitting your sandwich-making skills in a sandwich contest? Well, you can do just that in this game and if you happen to win, you can get some exclusive prizes for your shop.
Unlike the usual types of dishes served in cooking-themed games, Happy Sandwich Cafe dared to be different by presenting a beautifully-illustrated 2D look and a different game experience (making and selling your own sandwiches), and somehow, it greatly paid off. So, if you've tired of the usual cooking and shop management gameplay of most games on the mobile platform, you should defintiely check this game out. It is different... in a very good way!
