Cooking Mama: Cookstar (Nintendo Switch)

I’ve had this for 3 weeks now and I can’t stop playing this game . Lots of recipes to cook and it’s great you get to practice them before cooking it against the clock

I was dreading this game after news of cryptocurrency and switch overheat - but I can safely say it's not true. I own the physical copy. The graphics are a big improvement from its predecessors, but could arguably be improved - although I think part of the charm is its old school factor. The music is not new, mama's voice is and worse than ever (she doesn't stop talking, parroting patronising praise throughout each task) - but luckily both can be muted individually so you can choose what to keep and mute. We keep the sounds and music only (kids don't mind the music). The motion controls are all fine, we only struggle with slicing motion (many agree on this so they might fix it). One child is vegetarian so loves the selection. Overall much better than anticipated and keeps everyone entertained.

So i read the reviews before buying, I mean alot of people saying her voice - solution - go to settings turn off voice volume, or wait for it, top left of your switch volume button boom, job done. Second issue, the social media hype - press A, then X, then B speeds up the process thus leaving you not time to endure this process ( I could be wrong on the buttons its dark and I can't be bothered to tell alexa to turn the light on) the third issue - the timing - can't solve this one however I find this mildly irritating however what an excuse to practice and do it again. I appreciate young children however might get bored quick, myself at 35 and in isolation, not a problem I require all the help I can to get me thru the next few days.... however should someone find a solution to the vibration, I'd be awfully pleased. Sometimes the intensity over rides mamas delightful screaming at me voice.... ohhh and all else fails, do what I've done, dig out the old DS and play on there!!

It was a xmas gift i'm told it was good so i'm happy

Bought as a gift and they were over the moon with it

FINALLY found a game for my 5year old (not tech savvy) son, it’s perfect for him to get used to all buttons on his switch! I even enjoyed playing them haha!

Good

I was really excited to get this game in hopes that it would transform me back to my childhood. And it was alright dont get me wrong but ive played it about twice and ive had it for 2 weeks. Like its just ok, nothing mind blowing about it. Graphics could be better but theyre fine to deal with. I just think theres better games to invest your money in. The only pull of this game is that its ‘Cooking Mama’ otherwise youd very easily be able to not have it and not miss it at all. Sad really as i hyped the game up way more in my head than it delivered
