What players say
Players are split over Cooking Live. Some find it fun and addictive, but many hit a wall where progression demands spending money or waiting days no matter how fast they play. Upgrade costs outpace earnings, and late levels feel rigged against the player. There is also a wish for cross-save between mobile and PC.
