I actually really like this game. A few things could definitely use a bit better explaining, but once you get the gist, it's fairly cathartic and nice to just focus in on making some chocolates. I just got to 4 star reputation, and icing chocolates, and I'm enjoying myself. I like the layers of complexity (filings, icings, different ingredients to make for various things). I think it was worth the money and I see myself playing at least long enough to get to 5 star reputation.

If you have some patience, I think you'll enjoy the game.

Also, if you can't figure out why your fillings don't work, you're not alone. You need to overload the tempering machine to make chocolates suitable for filling. If you have trouble, google it, I ended up doing the same.
