Gameplay is very similar to the original and the game can feel like a bit **** when you get to higher levels, but before you reach that stage, you'll most likely enjoy this sequel to Cook, Serve, Delicious! as it's bigger and better in every way. Not only are there more recipes to cook but there's also the ability to design the interior of your restaurant. You can even enjoy some local co-op and if difficulty is ever an issue, there are options to make it as easy or challenging as you wish.
Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!! serves up another slice of excellent fun that, although not especially deep, will certainly keep you coming back for more. Please pass these compliments to the chef.
If you loved the first Cook, Serve, Delicious!, then you'll probably love Cook 2, as well. While there are major bugs for the Mac version right now, there are only minor bugs for Windows. I feel like using a mouse and keyboard will always feel somewhat constraining, however, although improvements to the gameplay could alleviate that feeling somewhat. As Cook 2 stands now, it is compelling, with plenty to enjoy in it, although ultimately the dish feels a bit stale.
Cook, Serve, Delicious 2!! feels like a step backwards when compared to the first game. A lot of features are missing and those that have been added aren't enough to make up for them. Save your money and buy Cook, Serve, Delicious!
A big improvement over the last game. People seem upset by the fact that the first game had so much stuff that CSD2 doesn't have - remember, when CSD1 was first released, it had only 20 foods, no CookBets, no extreme mode, no Battle Kitchen and so on. CSD1 is better in some aspects than CSD2 because the developer spent a few years releasing free content for CSD1, and the developer will also release free content for CSD2. So if you're still unsure if you're going to buy CSD2, wait for more content to be released.
A very well-made sequel to an already enjoyable game. The developer of CSD is always working on releasing free, new content which, as always, is much appreciated.
The game may not be for everyone: Cook, Serve, Delicious! is essentially boiled down into a series of mini-games with the backdrop of intense time management. It is important that potentially players recognize that this game is not really a restaurant sim. You won't be changing/creating new, fancy recipes of your own nor will you be hiring/managing staff. It's just you (and potentially a partner in co-op) slicing and dicing your way through frantic orders in order to please the customer.
CSD is definitely a solid title. At one point in the game during a mid-day rush, I felt like I was throwing food to ravenous animals, whispering to myself, "Gosh darn these fat pigs trying to shove their snouts into the trough!" So, it seems very realistic.
Hello, this is a default review because i'm forced to use 75 characters. I'll edit this review in the future talking about the game, don't worry ;)
My final rate is: 7
Ожидал большего если честно. Игра довольно продолжительное время находилась в разработке и логично было увидеть расширение начальной задумки в разные стороны. Но этого не случилось. Наоборот порезали прикольные фишки, такие как разные свойства у блюд, устаревание блюд в меню и апгрейд купленых рецептов. Лично я от второй части ожидал таких нововведений: 1 станция это один столик и за него может прийти как один так и несколько человек (например компания друзей или семья с детьми). На один столик могут заказать несколько разных блюд (салат, первое, второе и десерт). Чем больше человек за столиком, тем дольше их время ожидания, но и приготовить туда нужно больше. Плюс можно сделать, что важно не только то, в какой последовательности добавлены ингридиенты в блюде, но и последовательность подачи блюд на стол. Добавить уборку столика после ушедшего посетителя либо же выбрать вариант самообслуживания (влияет на чаевые). В глобальном развитии ресторана сделать календарь 365 дней и необходимость подстраивать меню под различные праздники и события в году. Например в день ВМФ добавить "макароны по флотски" и обеспечить себе бешеный BUZZ. Было бы забавно. :) В общем ту малую долю тактической части, что присутствовала раньше убрали, сделали упор на запоминание 100500 рецептов и параллельно отслеживание Holding stations. Больше аркады и исполнения аккордов на клаве, меньше включения мозгов. Зато для девочек добавили возможность поменять обои в ресторане и повесить миллион рюшечек на потолок. Для кого то это важно, наверное.
SummaryThe highest selling and most intense restaurant sim ever made is back! Deceptively easy to learn but incredibly difficult to master, Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!! is your journey of being the best chef in the world with your small but humble restaurant.
