Cooking Mama 3 Review: Phew, I am finally going to write this one, huh ^^ So, when I first started the game, I didn't like it very much. It felt more mini gamey and the blow mini games were so hard that I barely could finish them. Later I noticed that I was developing a cold and my lungs probably just didn't have any strength... Anyway, I played it a bit more and my verdict is the following: Yes, the game is indeed more mini gamey. Cooking Mama 2 also had some more mini gamey recipes, but most of the time it was played straight. Cooking Mama 1 was the most straight though, there was not a single step that didn't feel like cooking. Now, making the games a litte bit more video gamey makes the game more fun to play, I suppose, but it also makes me lose immersion. I just don't feel like I am cooking when someone messes with me and puts the bowl somewhere else every few seconds or when my character is practically dancing with the lasagna to the table and I have to make sure it won't fall or when the marshmallows have to be tossed on the plate or if the skewers are circling around and have to be put into the right position on time. After a while, I didn't mind anymore though. It was fun to play and that counted and the recipes are still going by a step by step guide so that you feel like you are actually cooking, mini games aside. The recipe roster was pretty good. We had sweets, savoury food, western and eastern cooking. Some recipes returned from Cooking Mama 2, but they were never the same steps. There was also the mode of cooking for your friends again, aka as cooking a recipe without getting the steps explained and without being allowed to fail, but this time you could chose who to cook for and just cook every dish for them. They shared medals. Then there was the combo mode where you could unlock new recipes by combining two ingredients, for example rice and meat or vegetables and seafood. It added quite a few recipes, but they felt a bit samey because for example, in rice, you would always start with washing the rice and stuff. The last mode was "Shopping with Mama". A Pacman esque mini game where you have to buy what Mama wants. I tried it out but got annoyed quickly because you bump into another customers all the time and they start really annoying and not fun minigames and if you fail them, you lose a heart. I only tried two levels and then decided that it isn't for me. Graphics and music were okay. The recipes kept their hand-drawn style and looked fantastic. Mama got a little bit more active in the top screen, often reacting with a thumbs up if you succeeded or a worried face if you failed. In the version where you cooked for your friends, she donned a cheerleader outfit. She also talked German this time... and while this was clearly a real german voice actress, it sounded like she had no clue what she was voice acting for and so Mama sounded more confused than anything else. She also kinded sounded bavarian to me xD You can dress Mama up and customize your kitchen and that is fun. Everything had to be pink in my kitchen (or red if pink was not available) and it was funny to put Mama into a cocktail dress or a kimono or let her wear cat ears. A school uniform was one of the options too... You also could keep your favourite scores in diaries and decorate them with stickers that you earned by doing the recipes fast. I kept the ones that I thought looked the most tasty, but never decorated them. This time I didn't feel like gold medalling every recipe, because I wanted to move on to the next game, but I might come back and do it in the future.

Replayable ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Overall Review: ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I don't think Senshi would play Cooking Mama. He would think it's a great game for the kids to have but it wouldn't appeal to him like the real thing. He wouldn't play any actual cooking sims, either. He would play Tetris and Candy Crush.

found my 2ds lol

I want to know, should I keep tartarus as the wallpaper for the chats, or is it too hard to see texts? i didn’t know this was a feature until now so let me know if you’d rather have the blank wallpaper or this 👍

WOAH EVEN BETTER THAN MAMA!

COOKING MAMA AND PAPA :33 (I love them sm ^_^!!!!)

Regarding hades, if what’s stopping you from playing is owning a switch, it’s possible to play it on other platforms (I have it on my computer)

OH INTERESTING ok one problem solved, second problem is that i’m not a gamer and i would suck so much at it that i wouldn’t win a single challenge and get massively frustrated and cry scream die immediately :(((

Sworgrader Chapter 3 is out! I think we'll be looking at one chapter every 3 months.. but personally I'm a little more enticed after this chapter!

I was very surprised at the new guest we'll meet next time!

gale's mom participated in a quilting circle every other week or so and you bet your ASS gale would go with her super often and get his cheeks pinched by all the moms and grannies

Some notes to help you vote:

I just reached Hearthome city in Brilliant Diamond. I have never played Gen 9 Pokémon so they'd be basically blind runs. I'm in the Frostlands in Octopath. Never played Cooking Mama, but I have the first 3 games on DS. Never played Fossil Fighters. I've 100% BG3 already. I need like 9 trophies in HuniePop 2 and they're all stupid hard.
