  • story
    27 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game receives mixed reviews, with many players appreciating its charm and character development, particularly in relation to Emily and her family. While some find the narrative engaging and sweet, especially with the introduction of baby Paige, others criticize it as lacking depth or feeling like filler. Overall, the story is generally seen as a pleasant complement to the time management gameplay, though opinions on its effectiveness vary.

    • “I personally would recommend trying to play the series in chronological order, so you get the most out of the storyline.”
    • “The progression of the coherent story, the different restaurants, and the new items to serve are compelling enough to make you play title after title.”
    • “Lovely story and it is really sweet that we are able to see Paige's growth together with our favorite chef, Emily.”
    • “This was not my favorite of the series; the story felt like filler and I never found it that compelling.”
    • “The story, for what it is, is that Emily has decided to go back to work in her restaurant after having her baby, Paige, and the series of events that push her from one restaurant to another usually stem from her insistence on bringing baby Paige to the restaurant every day.”
    • “The central tension of the story is between Emily's family-focused style and her competitor Wu's non-family-friendly style.”
  • gameplay
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is consistent with previous entries in the series, featuring smooth and intuitive mechanics that are easy to pick up but challenging to master. While some players appreciate the menu customization based on customer preferences, others find the overall experience repetitive and lacking in uniqueness compared to earlier titles. Despite some minor bugs and a less engaging story, the gameplay remains enjoyable and fun for fans of the franchise.

    • “The gameplay is still as smooth and intuitive as before.”
    • “Unlike more recent installments, old Delicious games ask you to tailor your menu to the day's expected customers, a mechanic that I liked and quite miss in the latest games.”
    • “With the other mechanics, it's your typical fine-tuned Emily game, responsive and easy to get into, hard to master.”
    • “Instead, they have now switched their attention to developing a mobile game Delicious World with tasteless stories, boring and repetitive gameplay, and microtransactions.”
    • “The game is short; expect 7 hours of gameplay to see it through.”
    • “Otherwise, it is a good game to start with, but I think it is only worth it when it is on sale because of the non-unique gameplay from other games of the series.”
