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.
