The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the prevalence of ads and the high cost of in-app purchases. While some appreciate the option to earn rewards through watching ads, numerous users report issues with ad functionality, misleading advertising, and a feeling of being pressured to spend real money to progress. Overall, the monetization approach is seen as overly aggressive and potentially predatory, detracting from the overall enjoyment of the game.

“I made a $14.99 in-app purchase for a chef and diamonds.”

“Even after receiving complaints from multiple players, World Chef continues to allow this in-app feature that contains misleading advertising.”

“Very bad experience.. you cannot move 3 steps without paying real money, despite they could use free ads to satisfy their money craving.. another very greedy money-seeking game.. I could only reach level 7 and never beyond.... why?”

The story aspect of the game is generally well-received, with players appreciating its cute graphics and engaging narrative that keeps them invested. However, there are concerns about the monetization strategy, as many feel that the need to purchase gems detracts from the overall experience and should be replaced with in-game rewards for completing missions.

“I love this game, but to buy land plots in this game, we need tapes other than the two other things.”
