The gameplay of Cooking Mama: Cookstar is essentially the same as its always been with this series, wherein you have the eponymous Mama guiding you through the many steps involved in making dozens of dishes ranging from ice cream rolls to chili con carne. Cooking Mama: Cookstar is not a good game, and it’s clear why some of the developers wanted more time to polish it up further. Unfortunately, the reality is far less rosy. In an ideal world, this could make Cooking Mama: Cookstar the definitive ‘hidden gem’ release on the Switch an enjoyable party game that only a few will ever get to experience for themselves. The bottom line is that this is a game which, weirdly enough, might never see a full release beyond the odd physical copies that have already made it out into the wild.

The upcoming Wii U / NX Zelda however looks like the closest this series has seen to a full reboot, with Link's kitchen talents set to feature prominently in the survival-based gameplay. Whilst new graphical styles, control systems and gameplay hooks have popped up over the years, ever since the dawn of 3D Zelda in 1998 the series has tended to follow a similar template. Zelda may be our industry's most revered franchise but in recent years even some of its most devoted fans have expressed the desire for things to take a new direction.
