Look, this game is fun, yes; it looks cool, it sounds great, the stories are fun to read, and the character designs are top-notch. But it gets more and more p2w the longer you go on, ESPECIALLY now with the new Beascuits addition and the like (and the Tower's back but now it's unforgivingly difficult! Even for Tray 1? What's this? One of the recommended Cookies is the recently-released legend? GEE willy whiskers, I wonder what that entails!)
I have inmense stockholm syndrome with this game but like, I gotta drop it sooner or later. 3/5: One of those games where it looks super nice but the gameplay is commendable at best.

A really fun game with a great sense of progression until a brick wall comes out of nowhere stopping all forward progress. The game is challenging but manageable up until this point. This forces players to either grind a lot or pay up to roll for better characters. For a hard stage before this, it would be a very minor grind to overcome it. Past the brick wall, every level takes hours to grind for. Everything up until this point is phenomenal however with great pacing and decent gameplay. The gacha isn't too egregious either.
ok sure the fact that they're all cookies is kind of goofy, but idk i think they're silly! also maybe i just have stockholm syndrome but the gacha doesn't feel that bad to me for once? anyways the story is weirdly good sometimes and i like the character designs, which is really about all i could ask for from a gacha game! almond cookie and royal margarine cookie my beloveds :D
I feel like all gacha games eventually fall to the need for constant key jingling and new tedious activities to keep players brainless and open to spending. Despite being one of my favorites of the genre for the aesthetics it offers, Cookie Run is ultimately no different.
When I take a month long break and come back to 20+ popups for an overwhelming amount of new lobotomy-tier activities, it's safe to say that I won't be chomping at the bit to get back into the swing of things.
I'll just keep taking my life sized cardboard cut-out of Affogatto Cookie out to public dinner dates, without worrying about the game. Dropping the 2 hours a day of cookie chores just gives us more time to kiss.

i am an almost day one player (prob started around a month after release) and i could rant for paragraphs about whats wrong w the game (AND THE COMPANY!!) but at the end of the day im weak for the character designs and have been since LINE: cookie run.
id play more if the game wasnt so laggy and had problems w frequent crashing lol

Look I'm gonna be real for a second. This game is like if Genshin Impact had POC characters, and that really sucks when you realize that this is a game about cookies.
The worst thing about being caught in its gacha trap for two years (I left this game a year ago already) was the fact that the art and world of this game have deeply impacted my autism circuits. Not a joke, this franchise (kingdom especially) has some of my favorite art direction of any mobile game ever, and I am deeply inspired by it. I could never download this game again because of what it does to me but I could never let it go because of how it changed me.
I have a gambling addiction now

Still try to play it every now and then but it gets hard to keep up with it a lot of the time and every time I feel I am catching up to the playerbase the pays for their characters the devs add more ways to upgrade said characters that take either hours of grinding or your money so all this to say that its not a priority of mine.
