Cooking Fever review

Cooking Fever is one of the best known games in the genre, and its App Store page shows 346K US ratings, the second highest count here. You cook across a range of restaurants, from desserts and fast food to Indian and Chinese cuisine, using appliances from coffee makers and rice cookers to pizza ovens and popcorn makers. The listing promises thousands of dishes, more than 1000 levels and hundreds of upgrades for appliances and interiors, plus daily rewards, tournaments and challenges. It is a light 275.3 MB download and runs on iOS 13.0 or later. Two points kept it out of the top five: Nordcurrent states that the game requires internet access to play, and the App Store notes loot boxes. Its 4.5 out of 5 rating is also lower than the games ranked above it. Listed purchases start at $1.49 for the Diner Pack.
