I had to jump in for a review after so many recent customers were complaining about how confusing the game is and how "clunky" the game is. Most reviews I write are negative so this is rare for me. Anyone who thinks the game is confusing because you are unable to understand it should just request their $3 back from the sale price and move on with their lives. This game is by far one of the best executed and detailed in its field. The amount of freedom and customization you are allowed is unparalleled. As any other game, there are challenges with mastering your technique, but it is not confusing at all and the tutorial hand walks you through the start of the game. Obviously if you only spend 30 minutes playing it you wouldn't have mastered the game yet and will be complaining about "how confusing and difficult" it is. Clunky? Maybe if you use an outdated pc? I have NEVER had a slow down, poor experience with the UI, or error messages with this game in the 130 hours I have played including DLCs. There were minor bugs when the game was first introduced, but that had to do with certain ingredients. They have been resolved since. Not only would I buy it on sale, the game is worth $20 to me. I wish they would offer an expansion to make the game more difficult and harder to attract some of the top customers or a way to increase the cost of rent and other bills to make the game more of a challenge once mastered. *Very sus that so many recent reviewers used the word, "clunky", out of no where when the game has been out for quite some time and that was NEVER a complaint during the original 1000+ reviews. Maybe they are attempting to sabotage this game.

가격에 비해 완성도가 너무 좋습니다. 장점 - DLC까지 모두 구매했더니 레시피가 다양해서 레시피 만드는 재미로 2-3시간은 그냥 할 만 함 - 생각보다 딥하게 매장 운영 타이쿤에 가까워서 분석하는 재미가 있음 = 세일할 때 구매하면 후회하지 않을 정도의 게임성 단점 - 레시피 경우의 수가 많아보이지만 나만의 레시피보단 높은 점수를 받기 위해 정답지를 찾게 됨 - 레시피를 구상하고 메뉴를 올리고 직원들 에너지 관리가 전부인데 매장 운영 시간이 너무 김 (웨이터 에너지 관리밖에 할 수 없는 시간이 너무 길다) - 어떤 메뉴를 시켜서 얼마나 만족한건지 직관적으로 보이지 않고 영업 종료 후에 레포트로 받아보는 형식이라 위에 언급한 매장 운영 시간 내내 할 게 없음 - 전반적으로 사운드가 부족하다고 느낌 (먹는 사운드, 요리하는 사운드 등)

I can't really say the gameplay is my favorite. I'd give it a 3/5 stars but I do sort of recommend it if you really like restaurant simulator/management games. The gameplay is eerily similar to those of Idle games. I currently love the features and graphics, I just wish there was more hands on gameplay that you could do with the characters.

The ability to build your recipes is a feature I have looked for in a game for years. If you are looking for a classic restaurant manager that allows you to customize recipes, this is the perfect game.

ETA: I've got 26 hrs into this game at the time of writing this edit. I think I've basically played as much as I want to at this point. It is very repetitive and there's not much going on other than wait for more money and move, open a new restaurant, or redecorate. I still had fun, but I'm glad I didn't pay more than $5 for it. So far I'm liking this game. It is a good time waster, cute graphics, designing shops is always fun for me. HOWEVER, there are a LOT of QoL improvements that could be made, ESPECIALLY filtering in just about every category. [*]Should be able to filter recipes by ingredient, by tag, by star level (the 'filter' in the menu is really just a 'sort'). [*]Also REALLY need to be able to hover over the recipe name on the menu to see the ingredients required for it (so it is easier to know what to upgrade). [*]Alternatively (or additionally) it would be nice to have some kind of indicator on the ingredient list showing which ingredients are part of unlocked recipes and/or recipes that are on the menu. [*]Would be nice to be able to filter restaurant size so when you're renting you only see the plots that contain the size hall and/or kitchen you want. [*]The skill icons for the staff are really small and hard to see when things are at a lower level (maybe I'm just getting old idk). [*]It would be nice to be able to hover over the morale icon and see the numbers (like you see at the end of the day). Some really nitpicky stuff: [*]Putting wall and floor decorations closer to the doors would be nice. [*]Would be cool to be able to decorate the kitchen (at least wall decorations/paintings) [*]Decorations that can be placed on top of the cabinets (like little plants, maybe small pictures, little statues (maybe you could do a reward system where you restaurant gets rewards and you could display them but that's a big ask lol)). But yeah, it's fun. With the QoL improvements I mentioned (ESPECIALLY the filtering, that's the biggest irritation right now) it would be a great game.
