The Papa's game series was something very enjoyable back in the adobe flash player days and even nowadays is still remembered very fondly by pretty much everyone, including myself, and after hearing they put a remake of Freezeria on Steam out of nowhere, I just couldn't resist.
This game does quite the justice to the original, since not only they essentially ported it 1:1 to a new engine like they did with To Go!, but also polished the heck out of it with new interfaces, remastered audio, collectibles and decent variety of minigames. They also put a freeplay mode where you can practice and make anything you want to serve. All of this shows how much dedication and effort the devs put in their legendary creation once again.
Then again it has its flaws, especially on the gameplay loop which becomes quite repetitive on the long run. Every day you serve 7 clients appearing at the same rate, which means the difficulty doesn't quite change much, it's just doing the same thing over and over again just with another coat of paint, and since this game has a story mode it gets quite tiring to beat. I can see a lot of wasted opportunities for some events like the typhoon or the island volcano exploding on certain weeks, I don't know man just make it more interesting!
With all this in mind, I have very high hopes they'll gradually do more remakes for the rest of the games, just PLEASE play a little more around with the gameplay loop.
