Cook Serve Forever

This game is a pretty significant departure from the mechanics of the previous CSD games. Overall the game is much simpler and asks for less perfection, so for me it was much chiller and a great wind down game. The game is mostly story focused (a story I found pretty nice!), following the main character's journey through cooking and the life surrounding it. The actual mechanics give a bit of the pattern recognition that is familiar to the CSD series, where in different operations take different set keystrokes. This game differs in that the subset of operations is pretty small, but each recipe takes multiple operations and these are divied out between each hand (i.e. each hand does things separately). There's some skill there in getting independence between your hands, but it's not too difficult to push through. Overall if you want a chiller game with some pretty art and neat story experience that still has some Cook Serve Delicious roots this is a great game.

I haven't played any of the other games in the series, so I can't compare Cook Serve Forever to them. On its own, though, I don't think it's nearly as bad as some of the reviews make it seem. The art is really great, from the characters and backgrounds to the cutscenes and especially the food. I also loved the soundtrack. The songs had a habit of sticking in my head long after I closed the game- which was only annoying when I would rage quit and the music taunted me afterwards. The story was better than I expected, and the dialogue was only cheesy about 30% of the time. The biggest issue is the difficulty. It starts off easy enough, but it gets progressively harder until you're fighting for your life trying to make food. If you're an achievement hunter going for 100%, good luck. I literally had friends over trying to help me out. I don't think it's worth $30. Around $22 feels more reasonable, but thankfully it goes on sale pretty often.

配音挺不错的，剧情设定也是我喜欢的类型，但玩法很无聊。苯人从没玩过这个系列的游戏，看了宣传片盲入，但实际上手没有想象中的好玩，以为是adhd狂喜，结果急头白脸地打一通QTE更焦虑了。如果有免费demo可以体验就好了，建议买之前看看游戏实况

honestly this franchise is going down hill, it went from perfection, to good to why is it a shooter, now to press buttons sim. this is honestly tragic because the first game is o ne of my favoret games of all time and that one is the only one you should play

I loved the game and the story being told. Yes, it's different than the normal CSD formula, but it provides a new unique experience. It may not be as difficult as the previous games, but going for gold on the blitz days can be a real challenge! Nori and Brie, the two main characters, meshed really well together! The humor in the writing was also something I really enjoyed! Overall, I was very satisfied playing this game and can't wait for the next installment in the CSD series!

Steam真的需要有中评……我咋记得这系列以前不是这种玩法呢，感觉纯纯变成视觉小说了加点儿特别漫长的无聊QTE……画风倒是不错，说真的独游十个有八个是美术骑着全部部门上班

About 60% through and I think it's an okay game, different gameplay but polished. There's full VA which is nice, and the story is quite cliche but okay as background. The music is hit of miss for me, but I love a few of the tracks. Personally find it easier and better to play on keyboard, despite the controller recommended suggestion. Maybe it's just my setup, but it's much easier to press things faster on my keyboard compared to a controller. I tried a few different controllers and kept having issues with the steps that requires me to hold the down button on the D-pad. Game seems to be very sensitive with inputs and if your finger moves a little you'll get a fail.

!! Worth revisiting after mechanic rework. Gameplay may indeed have been easy in early access but it is fun and tricky with the controller. A lovely take on the CSD franchise. Delightfully surprised by the new mechanics and the story is lovely ❤️ Highly recommend
