Cooking Diary® Restaurant Game

Thinking of deleting the game I liked the game initially, but right I am thinking of deleting it. There are levels where you need to earn a certain amount of money, but to do that you ought to have upgraded ingredients and food so they cost more and to upgrade you need diamonds which are quite impossible to get in the quantities you need and I am not wasting my money on them, and so no matter how perfectly and fast you get everyone’s orders you still fail. And so my frustration with this game mounts, hence are my thoughts of deleting it.

Was super fun.. until.. I’ve been playing this game for MANY years, probably around the start of the pandemic.. this game was so addicting for me. It used to fill up all my time and I would ENJOY that. I won’t say it was extremely free-to-play friendly in those times- the pop ups and “deals” after every level has always remained the same. But what hasn’t is the insane inflation of the gems. Before, it was easy to progress your restaurant prestige with the upgrades needed to advance in the levels and still have a challenging, yet fun time. 20 gems used to get you so far. Now? It feels like you’re barely scratching the surface of progression and completion. Even the upgrades needed to level up a NEWLY OPENED restaurant will be minimum 15 gems for the FIRST UPGRADE. It’s honestly EXTREMELY frustrating as a long time player who’s played on and off again. Every time I return to the game, I get reminded why I stopped playing. It’s so overwhelming to try and compete with other guilds when you can barely advance in your levels even when you fully upgrade your kitchen because you constantly need BUFFS or else you just won’t complete it. That was so unheard of before… I’m not sure why the game has become so unnecessarily difficult besides a money hungry game company. It really makes the veteran players, like me, want to drop the game, but the nostalgia pulls me back. I miss the way the game used to be. If I rated it during the pandemic, it would’ve been 5 stars. Now, I even question why I’m giving 2. :/.. I can’t see the game going back to how it was, so I must say I’m really disappointed that it’s evolved into this. I would say to those wanting to try the game to seriously give it a try because it’s honestly really fun and it’s probably the most fun time management restaurant games out there, but unfortunately… you will get burnt out and highly frustrated and frustrated.

Too much of a money grab and need too many diamond while not making enough ever I used to love this game and returned you use to get free outfits and things as rewards for her restaurant but now you barely get free good items while I love the game and everything needs diamond including beating levels you can never actually achieve anything cuz you always lose til you get barely enough diamonds to upgrade therefore you can’t even use the diamonds on outfits or anything else which is why I hate to waste my money but I’m officially over this game plus buying diamonds are too expensive when everything irl is already overpriced and after giving it another try I’m on basic level but super high on map 10 and level 72 once again I keep only being 10$ short after playing for 5hrs straight collecting 36 diamonds to upgrade it 3x and yet I’m now 5$ no matter what wasted whole 24/hrs on a single level yet if I pay which I’m trying of doing everyone can’t just afford to get buying diamonds just enjoy the game with others while it’s enjoyable I won’t be giving this another penny

Falling out of love Recent updates have made CD an extremely frustrating game. Needing to use boosts is increasingly common, even on normal levels where you wouldn’t expect an experienced player like to need them. I’ve been playing since 2018 and really falling out of love with the increasing demands.

Greedy I have been playing this game every day since 2019. It’s something to take the edge off, distract me from the world. There’s a ton of things to do, which is what makes it fun. I have spent money consistently over the course of playing this game because the cost of $4.99 (for a golden ticket) was reasonable to get some better more exclusive rewards. Because with the last few updates they’ve really taken away the ability to do any of the fun side quests unless you move on to the next restaurant so those of us who like to play in one restaurant until we get all the possible rewards really got screwed but at least we had an affordable golden ticket to earn rewards that way since we can’t participate in the other side games. Well of course greedy Mytona had to make sure to increase the cost for no reason at all. The price increase is not justified. And not only that but it DOUBLED. I could understand a $1-2 increase but double is not justified or reasonable any longer. The game is no longer fun. And your greed is what’s ruining it. I used to buy the golden ticket every time along with making occasional other purchases in the game but I will no longer be making any purchases.

Disappointed I started playing Cooking Diary in July of 2021. Since then, I have purchased every path to glory ticket for $4.99 (minus a year that I took a break from the game for personal reasons). It has now doubled in price $9.99, and that’s just the start of my disappointment. They used to have a seasonal restaurant where you could gain tokens and win a new helper for completing however many levels it was. I would even pay for tokens so I could get the new helper. They took the seasonal restaurant away, and replaced it with tasty airlines. Tasty airlines is similar to Monopoly Go, where you collect cards and once you’ve gathered all the cards, you get prizes (new helper included). This new event is hard to complete even if you play every day. And the whole reason I stopped playing MoGo is because they too make it impossible to complete their sticker packs (in CDs case, cards, suitcases, etc). It’s hard to want to keep playing this game when they make it harder to complete events, on top of raising the prices. I have not purchased the path to glory so far this season and I likely will not be doing so. Every time the game asked me to do a survey, I would say the same things - please bring back seasonal restaurant. Now I’m only one person, maybe others enjoy tasty airlines. But at the least, go back to the regular pricing. Because at this rate, there has to be others like me who purchased every PTG ticket and are not going to after this increase. I have loved CD for years. But the price increases, along with being difficult to complete tasty airlines, has really left a bad taste in my mouth. I’ve also always purchased every food truck event as well & now I just don’t want to put ANY money into the game. I know they’ll still have their loyal players who will pay no matter what - but I’m being pushed further and further to stopping playing altogether. And that really breaks my heart.

Love it I’m having quite some fun! No ads!

Way to many rubies I enjoy playing this game. It’s very addicting. The problem is that you compete in tournaments and events, you have to play a lot to win these tournaments and events and only end up winning a few rubies when an upgrade is 22 movies it can be hard to regret in the game. If you win 30 consecutive rounds you get 10 measly rubies. The game makes it so that you have to spend money and yes, I have spent money on the game and it just seems like such a waste.
