Restaurant Dash: Gordon Ramsay vs Stranded Sails - Explorers of the Cursed Islands
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?
Stranded Sails - Explorers of the Cursed Islands
Stranded Sails - Explorers of the Cursed Islands is a farm simulation/adventure game where you’ll not only need to maintain a farm and make sure that your surviving crew’s needs are being met; you’ll also need to set off on mini-expeditions to explore the many mysterious islands within the archipelago and to discover the secrets they hide. Maybe, if you’re lucky, you might end up finding a way off the island after all!The game is really easy to get into, mainly because the game is driven by its story-based quests so by completing these quests, you be able to unlock new areas and even new tools that will allow you access to different parts of the archipelago. However, you’re given complete freedom to explore any of the islands as you wish, though there are certain parts of the island that would be “roped off” until you’ve progressed far enough into the story and have unlocked the necessary tools.
Everything you do in this game requires energy - and yes, this includes walking – and it’s the main “currency” you’ll need to keep an eye on whenever you head out for a bout of exploring or just a resource-gathering run. Due to this energy system, the gameplay here can be quite strategic, forcing you to decide when you’d want to focus on exploring and when you’d want to spend some of the energy you have to gather some resources like fishing and chopping some trees.
Being a farm simulation game, Stranded Sails also has an allocated area within your base camp for you to grow some crops and feed your crew. You can even try your luck by fishing at the ocean, and then use those raw ingredients to whip up some delicious food to fuel your adventures.
So, overall, Stranded Sails is an oddly strategic farm sim/adventure game mainly because of its energy system, and as a result, the game isn’t as casual as some players would have liked. That said, the game has an interesting storyline going for it, and the gameplay, aside from the energy aspect, isn’t too shabby either. It’s definitely a game that fans of Harvest Moon or other similar games would love to play.
