Regarding Delicious - Emily's Recipe for Renewal

 I don't have the time to write a walkthough -- or even play it -- right now, but I'd be interested to hear what you think about the game if you've played it.

  1. I am playing the 2nd restaurant and must say that the game is already hard from the beginning, just as Delicious: Emily's Taste of Truth was. I hope it will be better further on .....

    1. That's good to know! I'm not sure I'm interested in the story, frankly. (I didn't really care for Taste of Truth.) Playing these new ones just makes me want to replay the old ones instead!

      Anyway, keep us posted on how it goes!

  2. There are a couple levels that have bugs in them. One of the bonus levels just refuses to end. You finish everything and the time runs out, but the game doesn't recognize it. People have complained to Gamehouse, but nothing has been done yet. There are other levels that end the minute the time runs out whether you finished with the customers or not.

    Since the new developer took over, the stories have suffered tremendously. They also seem to be unfamilar with the previous storylines. For example, this game portrays Emily as though she has no knowledge of the Internet and needs to be taught about the power of the Internet by some "influencer" who moved dto town. But wasn't it 3 games ago that Emily had a video blog and had hired a social media coordinator? The main storyline is that Emily's cooking is in a rut because she's afraid to try anything new. That also doesn't fit with the Emily we know as she was always willing to experiment with new flavors, etc. She hears from former customers that they're annoyed that she doesn't have time to sit down and chat and that the menu is always the same. Emily loses her restaurant in a fire (once again, it's incompetent Patrick's fault for thinking he can fix the stove) and works at other restaurants to get some inspiration for the future. The main problem I had with the story was that everyone behaved as though Emily's Place was the only restaurant she had. In the last several games, we've seen that Emily has at least 3 restaurants - one in her yard, the Italian one, and Emily's Place. Whatever happened to those?

    1. I completely agree. They don't seem to have any familiarity with the previous stories. I'm glad I decided not to try this one right away. I've not heard anything particularly good about it except on the GameHouse site.

    2. Completely agree! The bugs and the storyline are such basic mistakes. A complete lack of respect for the players and the Emily history.

  3. "There are a couple levels that have bugs in them. One of the bonus levels just refuses to end. You finish everything and the time runs out, but the game doesn't recognize it. People have complained to Gamehouse, but nothing has been done yet"
    As for this glitched level 5-4 it has been fixed by GH, just redownload the game and the level will work fine.
    For the rest I agree with all of you on everything.
