Restaurant Solitaire Delicious Lunch Reviews

"Restaurant Solitaire Delicious Lunch" is a basic mobile-app like solitaire puzzle game. Solve various puzzle levels using Klondike style card moving and matching. It's been done a million times before, for free, and free on mobile app stores too... yet this one has a hefty price tag on it. Who knew you can just charge $5 for mobile trash? I guess Creobit does. The "developer", Creobit/8Floor, has copy + pasted this game an insane SEVENTY TWO TIMES onto Steam with minor reskins... why cash in on one asset if you can cash in on multiple copies of the same game?

From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics. The game only displays in 4:3 pillarboxed aspect ratio (with some lazy "wings" to fill the pillar). It's possible they developed this using an old CRT they found in a dumpster, or this game has been specifically designed for people gaming on PC's from 1995... either way, this isn't really acceptable in the modern era of PC gaming. This looks and feels like a mobile app, but it doesn't seem to have made it to the app stores. It's unclear why this was put on Steam instead of the app stores it seems to have been designed for. Maybe it was removed, maybe it was rejected by Apple and Google (they do have more rigorous quality standards than Valve does for Steam, after all). Regardless, for all intents and purposes this might as well be a mobile app, it has the same limitations and dumbed down qualities. It's impossible to recommend such a game to PC gamers. We don't spend all this money building gaming rigs so we can pretend they're iPhones and play games that might as well be mobile apps. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 3 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from (over 9,000 completely free titles), the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. "Restaurant Solitaire Delicious Lunch" has the scam price of around $5 USD (for other people's work), it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam.

This publisher 8floor managed to arranged 1 card game and then copy-paste it with different sfx, wallpapers and made 200+ games.

Full disclosure: I got this on the Lunar New Year Sale for .49 cents USD. And considering how many of the other titles I have be the same dev, I treat these games as DLCs for new cards and backgrounds. Overall, these games are what they are. The backgrounds get reused, but you do get to choose your card faces and backs from several selections. The music is OK and repeats from title to title. The game gets progressively harder, and that's usually where I tune out. Don't get me wrong, having an in-game store to buy golden jokers, etc is nice enough. And this title even awards jokers and reshuffles, a cut above earlier titles. But it honestly becomes a matter of how much in game money you have, and it feels like buying infinite power ups just to win a level. That said, if you want a new deck or something a bit improved over the older titles, I'd give it a thumbs up on sale. It's certainly family friendly enough.

This game is unbalanced. Some levels they give you a ton of cards and you end up with 20 extra cards in your deck when you finish. Other levels give you only 20 cards and you need more. There are levels impossible to do with the given number of cards. Inexcusable. Not to mention the levels that look exactly like levels in other solitaire games these devs have made. Exact copy of levels, that's just lazy. Each game should have it's own unique levels. Something else irks me about this game and it might appear superficial to you, I dunno. The title is "Restaurant" solitaire and yet the picture on the title screen shows a couple sitting on the floor of their house eating pizza. Wow, that's some restaurant there, someone call the ...er...whatever it's called guide for food people, like where they rate restaurants 5 stars. And as if that wasn't enough the images in the sections of levels do NOT show a restaurant at all. Instead we get a wet dog, a ghost-like dog going out the door, a pretty town, a house-for-sale advertisement. What does that have to do with a restaurant? Nothing! Call me pedantic but if you name your game something you'd think they'd have pictures that match. Oh and these are the exact same pictures as in another "Restaurant Solitaire" game I played. If they make more with that title I won't be buying them. Not even on sale. That's my two cents. Oh, I should mention that I've played many, many of their solitaire games and enjoyed some of them. Even gave a positive review for one. I don't know when this game was made compared to others I've played but it seems like they are just phoning it in now instead of taking some time to do your darn job of making a decent game. I'm gonna stop now before I really get heated.
