Cooking Mama: Cuisine!

Hi. This is a really awesome game. But there’s something I want to just ask you: My little brother has access to all different types of foods on his iPad, like apples and whole new recipes, like truffles. And why not my iPad too? I am (very) jealous of him! But I don’t think that should drop my review down to only four stars. And another thing is: who MAKES their Margarita Pizza? Huh? 🤨 🙂 But like the last one it’s fine. Go Cooking Mama Cuisine!🍔🌮🌯🥙🥗🥪🍖🥓🥘🍛🍝🍤🥞🥧🥯🫕👩🏼‍🍳!

I am a HUGE fan of the Mama franchise as well as a serial mobile game player, so I admittedly wasn’t expecting much out of this game. However, I’m happy to say that I was pleasantly surprised by how much there is to this game! As a self-proclaimed Mama-games aficionado, I think this is a legitimate entry in the franchise. A quick summary of WHAT I WOULD CHANGE about the game before I elaborate on anything: -A pop-up explaining the “suggestion from Mama” mechanic immediately after you complete your first recipe for which it’s applicable, or some kind of marking in the Recipe Book to show that there’s more that can be done. -A separate volume slider for Mama’s voice. -The option to turn off hints for ingredient/tool combinations. -Excess stars carry over if you fill up the reward bar. Now for the rest! I love how similar it is to the regular games but has some small adjustments that improve the playing experience not just for the new platform, but in general! One small touch I loved is in the kneading minigame where when the arrow disappears, it slides in the direction that the next arrow will be pointing, so you can mentally prepare to do the next step. The mechanics of the game translated really well, and have honestly made some of my least favorite minigames more playable (anything involving the microphone made me want to throw my DS across the room, lol). The hint system is also really nice - I would never be able to remember what I hadn’t done yet! I only wish it could be turned off if people wanted to feel more creative or get an added challenge. I understand the people who don’t like the mechanic that you have to come back every day to unlock new ingredients. If you’re not glued to your phone 24/7 or you forget, you might miss out on some things, which is a very fair critique to have. For me, though, who has an average of 17 hours of screen time a day, it’s not really a problem😂 I actually like that it changes - I think it hits a very nice balance of adding replay value and not keeping you in the app forever. Once I’ve found all of the day’s combinations, I’m kinda like, “what do I do now?” So I don’t play until the next day, BUT the reason I come back is BECAUSE I know there will be new things to do! I think a small touch that makes a lot of sense is the reward system giving you an item (of clothing, for example) and then later giving you the option to change the color. The incremental nature makes a lot of sense, but I wish if you had extra sta

It’s unfortunate because this game held a lot of potential. Cooking mama is an amazing, nostalgic game. But it isn’t tolerable to play when it’s full of bugs. Playing it back in the day on my ds light I never had an issue. The buggy janky controls causing me to loose challenges just isn’t worth the rise in blood pressure. I wish they’d put more pride into this game and I wish they had worked out the bugs before release.

After you’re basically through with basic recipes they make you wait insane amounts of time for “new ingredients” I don’t login everyday but whenever I do, I’m always told “X day new ingredients will be added” and I’ve yet to see them tbh. It becomes boring when there’s nothing new to make, idk why they restrict users in this version of the game. You’re better off playing the free cooking mama.

it just should

I’m not gifted boy,I’m girl

I love it because she is so nice and I love the way to play it. It gives some nice challenges and whipping up the food looks delicious! 🧆

The game is actually fun, especially if you used to play this on the Nintendo DS back in the day. It has all of the feature the original game had plus some new things. Only thing I dislike is how long it takes to get new recipes. Once you complete most/all of the recipes this game will sit on your device, collecting dust until they update it with more recipes, which is not often unfortunately. I give this game an A for nostalgia, A for graphics and gameplay, but a D for longevity.

I love this game but one thing it kinda creeps me out if you get three stars on the stages to make recipes. She looks rigged … overall amazing game wish there could be more time to cook

i swear i love cooking mama its a cute game where you cook with mama and she is just so cute 🥺
