Tales of the Shire: Why It Must Embrace Cooking Like Disney Dreamlight Valley!

by

As an eager fan, I’ve been closely following the developments of the upcoming game, Tales of the Shire. Although it hasn’t officially launched yet, the sneak peeks and early footage have given us a glimpse into its unique gameplay features. To ensure its success as a top-tier simulation game, I believe Tales of the Shire could greatly benefit from learning from other games within the genre that share similar elements. In particular, Disney Dreamlight Valley, with its resemblance to the features showcased in Tales of the Shire, seems like an excellent source of inspiration.

Fans might struggle to spot the commonalities between Hobbits and popular characters from Walt Disney Animation and Pixar Studios, but delving into the gameplay of Disney Dreamlight Valley immediately makes the connection evident. Given that players in Disney Dreamlight Valley spend a lot of time cooking, it’s not hard to imagine similar cooking aspects being developed more extensively in Tales of the Shire.

Players Cook Up a Storm in Disney Dreamlight Valley

A significant element in Disney Dreamlight Valley is mastering the art of cooking. The game’s updates not only introduce fresh characters, outfits, and decorative items, but also innovative recipes. Prepared dishes, skillfully prepared at a cooking station, offer players more energy than consuming raw ingredients alone. In fact, by partaking in cooked meals, players can surpass their usual energy limit, earning them the Well Fed Bonus. Additionally, these prepared meals can be traded for Star Coins.

In Disney Dreamlight Valley, what truly stands out about cooking isn’t the process of gathering ingredients or working alongside Remy, it lies in the benefits that various dishes offer players. Each dish has its own assigned energy and Star Coin value, accessible within the Meal Collections section of a player’s Collection menu. The higher the Star Level of a dish, the more energy or Star Coins it will award to a player. Cooked meals can be quite profitable based on their Star Level; for instance, the new Lightning Bolt recipe awards a minimum of 5,000 energy and sells for a minimum of 5,038 Star Coins.

As a gaming enthusiast diving into the world of “Tales of the Shire”, I’ve noticed that cooking plays a significant role, similar to the enchanting culinary adventures in “Disney Dreamlight Valley”. However, after trying out the demo, I found the cooking aspect a bit repetitive and lackluster. To make the upcoming simulation game more engaging, taking a cue from “Disney Dreamlight Valley” could be a wise move.

Tales of the Shire Needs to Provide a Useful Feast for Hobbits

In Disney Dreamlight Valley, the benefits derived from preparing meals can indeed be quite substantial, as previously stated. However, players who have experienced Tales of the Shire feel that there should be additional motivation to invest time in cooking. By increasing the rewards for cooking meals, we can encourage more players to engage in this aspect of the game.

In “Tales of the Shire”, it’s essential to offer a diverse selection of recipes for players to prepare, as the game emphasizes that every day in Hobbit life is incomplete without food. Given their fondness for meals, Hobbits are known to enjoy seven meals daily. Therefore, having numerous dishes to experiment with is crucial. The game also incorporates farming and fishing activities, which play a significant role in cooking. Expanding the number of recipes players can create may also lead to discovering more types of fish or plants within the game.

In the Shire stories, while many foods appear to be reminiscent of British homestyle cuisine, it could benefit from broadening its culinary horizons by incorporating dishes from various regions of Middle-earth. For instance, Lembas bread for elves or dwarven cram could serve as nods to other parts of Middle-earth. Similarly, Disney Dreamlight Valley offers a wide variety of recipes in its cookbook, often drawing inspiration from different films produced by Walt Disney Animation and Pixar Studios.

Although Disney Dreamlight Valley and Tales of the Shire might compete, it’s possible that Tales of the Shire could expand its recipe book by drawing inspiration from the popular Disney simulation game, Disney Dreamlight Valley. An intriguing feature to incorporate would be rewarding players with in-game perks for their homemade meals, a practice that is already successful in the Gameloft title.
