Cook, Serve, Delicious!

Stupid game concept, stupid US cooking , I don't even know why I bought this :D

Another game where I wish I could pick a neutral option instead of do/don't recommend. The game is fun but gets repetitive fast, limited food selection to unlock and frustrating hotkeys for ingredients/actions. So much so, i've tried finishing the game twice after hearing that the writing is good, but just couldn't bring myself to do so. If you're on the fence, grab it on sale.

My wife played this game almost every evening for quite a while, while I mostly sat there watching her play. The gameplay itself is pretty simple in principle — basically, you press the right buttons to add the required ingredients and complete the recipes. That said, especially in the later levels, things can get extremely stressful and sometimes downright frustrating. My wife needed a bit of extra help here and there to keep from losing her mind, but she still had a lot of fun with it. I got the game for free through Humble Bundle, I believe, so I can't really complain about that either. Overall, I'd recommend it if you're into this kind of game. I actually played similar games back in the old Flash game era on Kongregate, so this definitely gave me some nostalgic vibes. Haha.

GUYS... i t5hink that I fuond the best cook gamwe ever in the games history!!!! Just play and have fun!!!

carpal tunnel enthusiasts rejoice!

When I looked up some reviews about Cook, Serve, Delicious before playing, I saw people describe it as the Dark Souls of cooking games, and I thought "how is that even possible?". I tell you what though, that is far closer to the truth than I expected it to be. Imagine a Papa's Ria game, but stressful. If Papa's Ria is something like Gordon Ramsey with kids, then Cook Serve Delicious is Hell's Kitchen Gordon Ramsey. This doesn't mean the game is bad though, in fact, far from it. This game is REALLY fun, hard, but really fun. It can be addicting to get into the groove with the recipes, picking out good synergies for each day, and setting yourself to have new goals. The game has a lot of spots for progression, from the obvious star rankings, to trying to get badges for each of the types of food served, to trying to collect all the cooks for the battle mode. They really perfected the feeling of getting better over time, not just from your skills but also from your dishes simply getting better. Now, this doesn't mean the game is without flaws. Obviously the biggest issue is the difficulty. This game is not cozy, it is not simple, and if you are lacking on speed or precision, you will mess up a lot and you may very well feel frustrated by that. A lot of people don't see the later parts of the game according to the achievements and I am not shocked. Plus, the game can get very repetitive. While some people like myself love the feeling of slowly improving your skills and seeing small incremental changes, it is a lot of the same stuff. You've pretty much seen most of the game from the midway point and it gets more so into perfecting your craft after a certain point. Even towards the end trying to get the platinum five stars, it was more like a waiting game than anything else. Cook Serve Delicious is very fun, and I do recommend it, but buyer beware if this is the type of game that you want to play or else you may be more frustrated than having a good time.
