Cooking Tale vs Viridi
Cooking Tale
Cooking Tale is a fun yet somewhat simple, cooking-themed time management game that is developed by Gamegos. In this game, you'll assume the role of a fresh graduate with a culinary diploma and a determination to make it on her own. You stumbled upon a rundown burger stand and thought... well, why not start there?The gameplay in Cooking Tale will definitely put your time management skills to the test and keep constantly busy as you try your best to fulfill all your customers' orders. Unlike other games, you have a pretty trimmed-down upgrades system for your kitchen tools but in terms of shop decor, which should help you extend the patience of your customers, there is only very few of them. Due to this, the game actually relies more on your skills rather than the tools you use. But of course, if you need some help, there are always boosters to tilt a game to your advantage.
Featuring over 730 levels of widely varying themes, Cooking Tale is a mobile/Facebook game that's simple enough to be perfect for some casual time management fun and yet is challenging enough to keep you coming back for more.
Viridi
Viridi has been hailed as one of the most relaxing game on Steam, though the game is now available on both Android and iOS now as well. How can you relax by playing this game? Well, Viridi is basically a plant simulator; a safe haven where you can patiently take care of a large pot of plants that are often arranged decoratively to resemble something you might see in a terrarium. The game is not intended to be played in long periods of time. Just like a real life plant, you simply need to check in once a day or so, water and maybe fertilize it, and leave it to grow at its own pace. If you do a good job of caring for your plant, it might even flower for you (as long as it's a flowering plant)!Viridi is a limited free-to-play game which makes it more of a free-to-try. There are some free plants you can play around with for free, but if you want to really get into the game, there is an assortment of different plants in the in-game nursery that you can buy with real money. You can also get a free seedling every week.
