GodisaGeek.com: "The Cooking Mama games seem to have been around forever, the crazy mix of gameplay and cooking charming people of all ages for years. They’re the type of game that people will scoff and chortle at the mere suggestion of playing any more than we have to and then not be able to put it down again. “I’ll just do one more” is a statement that would often leave my lips while playing the other Cooking Mama games, which is strange because they’re not usually the type of game that I’d be caught playing, plus the fact that I’d probably burn the place down if I ever stepped anywhere near a real kitchen.
Does this fourth game in the series continue my strange attraction to the series or have I served my last meal?"
The news that Digital Bros. (and its publishing subsidiary 505 Games ) is in the process of restructuring is not new. It was last November when, in the midst of the maelstrom of layoffs in 2023, they announced that they were laying off 30% of the workforce , especially employees belonging to the development studios. This restructuring, like the international maelstrom, seems to be still underway and now affects the offices of the Italian multinational located throughout Europe.
505 Games has issued a very self-aware satirical update for Crime Boss: Rockay City, given the poor reception to the game.
I would of checked it out but far as i know its an online gta5 type game. Had it been single player inwouldve bought I to try by now
It's no secret that it won't flush. It's pathetic and something just about every actor on that roster will likely not mention with serious excitement or promote it themselves. The cringe is the talent that went snuggling up to it for the $$$ opportunity. So lame and backyard buddy homebrew-level feeling. Total cash grab. Minimum efforts all around. Nice Hollywood reverse engineering a plot based on their talent pool to carry a game into lame territory.
Game was ass.
Bought it to give it a try and it was beyond dead, as was the discord server.
Impossible to play online.
The Milan, Italy-headquartered company announced the planned job cuts on Tuesday as part of an “organisational review across its development studios and publishing units”.
