Factorio vs Restaurant Paradise
Factorio
Factorio is a simulation game where you build, expand and maintain a series of factories. The game will require you to take control of the entire production line from obtaining resources you need right up to packaging the final product while constantly upgrading and modifying every aspect of your factories to improve their productivity. As your enterprise grows, you'll eventually unlock a plethora of technologically advanced machineries, tools and hires that are basically a lot better than what you currently have.That's not all, apparently the world you'll be setting up your factories in isn't very "factory-friendly". Expect to have to deal with frequent attacks by the local inhabitants. You might want to set up turrets, walls, and other defensive structures to protect your machines from damage that will, god forbid, disrupt your production line.
Interestingly, the game has a cooperative multiplayer game mode where you can work with your friends to create a massive factories-filled world. The game may sound like an endless freeplay sort, but there are some fun challenges for you to complete as well as a Map Editor for you to create new maps to play in.
Factorio is the sort of game that will appeal to players who like managing stuff, namely fans of tycoon-like games. It also has a nice little tower defense-like element to it that spice things up a bit, along with other events that will put your problem-solving skills to the test.
Restaurant Paradise
Restaurant Paradise is a food-themed simulation game that is quite unlike any other you may have played before. As opposed to having you managing a single shop or a series of shops, this game lets you set up your own food park instead! A food park is basically like a theme park but with food stalls instead of rides. Similar to a theme park sim, you'll need to build a wide variety of food shops to attract more foodies to your place, set up sufficient tables and chairs for them to dine at, and add some nice decor to increase the appeal of your food park and hence, attract even more foodies!The game also has an interesting "Fever" element (I assume it means Food Fever rather than an actual Fever), where it works much like a hype - the more you have, the more money you'll earn. Since the game will "cash out" your profits on a day-by-day basis depending on how much food your shops produced and sold, if you happen to need some cash urgently, you can always "rush" the process by conducting a fair. A fair speeds up production, and earns you more in-game cash than the usual.
Developed by Happy Labs, Restaurant Paradise is not only an adorable-looking simulation game; it is a very unique one as well. If you enjoy playing food-themed sims that are one-of-a-kind, this is definitely a game you won't want to miss out on!
