Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Cooking Live - Italian Kitchen Simulator has charming gameplay and can be enjoyable for casual play, but players consistently report that progression hits a paywall requiring purchases of coins, gems, or boosters to continue. Most reviewers feel the game is designed to force spending money after an initial free period, making it frustrating for those unwilling to pay beyond the initial purchase.

Not recommended Oct 8, 2026

I paid for the game and didn't expect to get stuck so soon without paying again for upgrades.

Recommended Sep 21, 2026

funny and really good

Not recommended Sep 19, 2026

This game is cute and fun at first, but it quickly becomes clear that like many free phone game apps, it is designed to force you to purchase coins/gems/etc. to continue playing after a short time. It's a nope for me.

Recommended Sep 15, 2026

Love this game! I recommend if you have some time to waste. I mainly play at night so it really helps pass the time if I have nothing else to do.

Not recommended Sep 14, 2026

At a certain point you cannot progress without spending money on boosters

Not recommended Sep 13, 2026

Would be fun if they didn't make you pay to proceed. Levels are set to be impossible to beat without paying for extras.
