Fun, but needs massive overhaul – Restaurant Story Review

The reason why this game gets two stars instead of one is because in the end, it is a fun game to play. Otherwise, there are a LOT of technical problems with this game, despite receiving updates regularly. This game has recently been updated, and we still have no iPhone X support... what is up with that? And this is a game that desperately needs it, as it often feels awkward playing it. We’re now onto the iPhone 11 and we still don’t have support. For a game that is getting regularly updated, that is absurd. Pop-up galore. Oh my God, this game has WAY too many pop-ups for quests, gems, you name it. It happens every time you start the game, and takes a good 30 seconds sometimes to get through them. That is unacceptable. And this update added advertisements that play randomly during gameplay? This game has been out for the longest time, why only now does this need to go in? Especially when we’ve been given the option to watch ads for gems? Pathetic! And then there are the numerous bugs and glitches that I know have plagued this game from the beginning... sometimes my screen cuts off to where only half my screen is being used. Again, IPHONE X SUPPORT NEEDED. Above all, there’s the infamous “Processing” glitch. Every now and then a loading screen that says “Processing” will show usually after purchasing something or using a gift. One of two things are going to happen: either it’s an infinite screen, or you will discover once the loading screen goes away, something you just purchased disappeared, along with the money you just spent for something that is now no longer there. Again, this has been in the game since the beginning, and no update yet has addressed this. I still would recommend to give this game, along with its older twin Bakery Story (which also has the same gameplay issues as this game) a try. But it is seriously about time that the game gets a real update to where it is fixed and has full iPhone X support. Also, the pop-ups really need to be toned down. UPDATE: New update supposedly included performance improvements and bug fixes? Both are lies. This new update brings to you pop up ads that appear right after putting food on a counter. And now, most of the ads force launch the app store. Unbelievable. I am now dropping my rating to one star.
