Players find the pacing slow and tedious, particularly when progress is tied to adding friends, ultimately leading some to uninstall the game. Overall, the combination of casual game elements fails to create a cohesive and enjoyable experience.

    • “Sometimes the mechanics don't work, or the menus disappear, leaving no choice but to force quit and come back in.”
    • “I'm sure I would have quit rather quickly due to the 'watch paint dry while you wait for any action to finish' gameplay, but when they force me to add friends in order to progress, that's when I uninstall.”
    • “Star Chef combines elements of several different casual game mechanics into one package that doesn't quite work.”
