Debut Project: Cooking Cafe

Debut Project: Cooking Café is ultimately an honest and enjoyable game, doing what is necessary to be successful for its target audience. Although some game design issues may make you question its overall quality, it is not offensive. So even with my criticisms, it's still a pretty solid game.

Project Debut: Cooking Cafe can get tedious, but it’s so much fun to make the weirdest recipes and be rewarded for culinary crimes.

Overall, Debut Project, Cooking Cafe, was fine. It’s a cute game with a great aesthetic. The sound design is okay, the gameplay is fine, but things move along very slowly. There isn’t much to do outside of cooking, and the cooking mini-games are all kind of mid. It’s pretty cute and fun, but I think it’s a little boring. A little vanilla, if you will. It’s fun, it’s cute, and it’s a great idea for a game. I just wish there was a little more. I would have been much happier if there had been a designer element to Debut Project: Cooking Cafe, like hanging up pictures, choosing paint colors, or picking out the decor. I think this would have elevated this title a lot. But my overall opinion of it is that it’s just fine.
