Was feeling nostalgic for the Papa games and wanted to see if there was anything avaliable to scratch that itch.

I personally don't like the artstyle much, it tries to be cute and cozy and a lot of people are gonna see it that way but it's a bit uninspired to me. Is not UGLY, just not my thing.

These games thrive in making an enjoyable and relaxing gameplay loop, then slowly adding more complex steps to the process as to not make you fall asleep. Good Pizza Great Pizza does this pretty well, but very slow, and considering that I felt it even when the ingame days are so short makes the experience get repetitive fast.

There are one or two things that add a bit of quirkiness to the game, like how the only way to get eggplants is if you cultivate them yourself from a plant a customer gave you (also this game made me aware that eggplant pizza exists... to each their own I guess).

And speaking of the costumers, I appreciate them thanking you or saying something funny when you give them the pizza, but I can only take so much of "wow this is the best pizza in the universe I'm gonna marry it and invite you to the wedding". This sounds a bit mean but this is not always the case, sometimes you get people who cannot pay the full price of the pizza or only a part of it and it's up to you wether or not you're willing to waste reisources, the cost of these aren't that much of a problem, and those instances when you help them and they thank you feel nice.

There's a story that seems to be funny and a bit silly, but heartfelt in it's simplicity, I liked it, even though again, it goes pretty slow, so I didn't get very far on it... And Ii kinda don't feel like it at the moment.

It's a cozy game that you might maybe pick up to play for a few minutes once in a while if you feel like it, nothing more, nothing else.

Also I played the mobile version and that of course is full of adds, and daily bonuses, and adds between days that froze the game, and that DID ruin the experience a bit tbh.
