Kitchen Scramble vs Viridi
Kitchen Scramble
Kitchen Scramble is a cooking-themed time management game that is somewhat similar to Cooking Tale though the graphics look a whole lot amazing due to the change in the camera view. However, when it comes to the gameplay, both games are pretty similar. You'll need to cook and prepare the food that your customers have ordered before they ran out of patience (patience level vary depending on customers) and leave your shop. Naturally, you'll want to serve them as soon as you can just to earn a lot more tips. These cash can then be used to upgrade your kitchen appliances - not much decorations for you to buy here though. If you need help, there are boosters you can buy as well.Kitchen Scramble features a really wide variety of dishes from different cultures and countries worldwide. Interestingly, although the game does have a travelling element to it, the cities you get to go to are rather humourously named, like "Mount Foodji" or "Sour Francisdough". It does give the game a bit more appeal, making players more eager to unlock the next city and the next one after that. Not to mention, aside from premium appliances, this game also has premium ingredients to help you earn more cash.
As much as I've enjoyed Cooking Tale, I personally prefers Kitchen Scramble mainly because of the camera view. It makes the game look nicer in a 3D-like kind of way and well, your character won't be blocking your customers either. However, if you're looking for an alternative to Kitchen Scramble or maybe a slightly easier, time management game, then you might want to check out Cooking Tale instead.
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.
