Gameplay
I’ll be honest, MasterChef: Cook & Match caught my eye because I’m a big fan of cooking games. However, I wasn’t surprised to find out that this is actually a match-3 game. Sure, you get the chance to cook but to unlock these chances, you have to earn coins.
I found the gameplay to be fun but I actually preferred the match-3 mini-games to the cooking part. The cooking part was slightly boring, with me only having to chop, plate, and cook stuff. I much prefer the more intense cooking games where you’re freaking out trying to serve 3 customers 9 different burgers between each of them!
Graphics
The graphics were weird and I thought the judges looked quite creepy. I don’t actually see why they’re needed in the game. They reacted to my cooking but it didn’t seem like they did anything else apart from that.
Music & Sounds
The music in the background was your standard instrumental that doesn’t add any kind of addition to the game at all. It’s calming and works with the game well, it just isn’t needed for the full gaming experience.
Controls
Like all match-3 games, all you do is swipe the items together to make 3 or more matches. The controls were easy to use and if you’re well-versed in match-3 games, you won’t even need the tutorial.

The Verdict
Although MasterChef: Cook & Match didn’t have the gameplay I was expecting, it was still fun to play. However, down to it being a match-3 game, it was very short-lived. This is the type of game where at a certain point you have to put in your own money if you want to get anywhere…
