Cooking Simulator

This is one of those games where all the fun content is paywalled behind DLCs that cost more than the game itself all together. All the add-on foods could've just been in the game itself, but they chose to make 6 different DLCs for basic food items to extract as much money as possible. The game itself is not fun enough to make purchasing all the DLC worth it. I could use that money to buy so much better games. Luckily I didn't buy this for full price, but I still regret my purchase.

Cooking Simulator is the game that lets me pretend I know what I am doing in a kitchen while actively creating crimes against food. It sounds simple: cook dishes, follow recipes, prep ingredients, plate things nicely, and run a kitchen like a functional adult. In reality, it becomes a beautiful disaster of spilled soup, flying vegetables, questionable timing, and me trying to convince myself that the steak landing on the floor was part of the process. The best part is how hands-on everything feels. You chop, season, fry, boil, bake, blend, pour, and try not to set the entire kitchen on fire because you got distracted for twelve seconds. It scratches that simulator-game itch where even the most basic task becomes weirdly satisfying. It can be chaotic, and sometimes the controls make you feel like you are cooking with boxing gloves on, but that is also part of the charm. One minute you are carefully plating a dish, the next minute you have launched a tomato across the room and are standing there like, “Well, that’s kitchen life, I guess.” I love games that turn normal jobs into oddly addictive little task loops, and Cooking Simulator does exactly that. It is funny, messy, stressful, satisfying, and occasionally makes me feel like a genius right before I ruin everything with salt. Cooking Simulator is not just about cooking. It is about confidence, chaos, and learning that the real final boss is trying to pour liquid without making the counter look like a crime scene.

I copped this game and all of it's DLCs while they were on sale for about 75% off (so a pretty good deal) but for some reason, when I started up the game in Sandbox mode, the tablet or "cooking menu" which you normally access in this game in order to pick recipes to cook, did not respond when I tried to open it. So I thought nothing of it and decided to re-install the game after seemingly no luck of fixing the issue in-game but when I re-installed the game and tried to run it again, for some reason it would start but it would not show up on my screen; even when trying to click on the game icon in the taskbar, it just would NOT open for some reason. So ultimately, I decided to re-fund the game. Truly a shame, as I remember playing it before and it actually was pretty fun,

WHY THE HELL DO THESE PEOPLE NOT LIKE PROPANE BOTTLES AND GLASS IN THEIR FOOD?????? If i see "unwanted object" in a review of my DELICIOUS food I will go and mod food poisoning into the game.

Holy God. What a piece of ♥♥♥♥ example of entertainment software. The game hasn’t even started yet. Telemetrics consent? Who cares? You’re probably just gonna do what you want to anyways. Why wouldn’t you? So just ask the player for permission later, if not never, ffs. Go away already. The game hasn’t even started yet. Wait, where’d my game go? A store page? For Cooking Simulator 2? With Mixed reviews? Who cares? Was buying Cooking Simulator 1 not enough for you people? Am I allowed to play this first purchase before being subjected to hamfisted foisting upon of some steamed soggy sloppy seconds? “Verified” my ass. When the main menu finally did show its face, ZERO inputs were working AT ALL. Had to navigate with touch screen to enable Gamepad controls. Career Mode, classic kitchen, tutorials enabled, fine, fine. What is the framerate s’posed to be? 40? Damn. Could I have gotten a warning? Maybe a better graphics settings preconfiguration? Whatever. Fixed by locking the Deck OLED to 40hz. Even then, inconsistent and dropped frames. Something else is bothering me, though… it’s quiet. Too quiet… A little music might go a long way. Maybe some voice acting if you’re feeling fancy. That would be nice. I pause. I navigate to the Audio tab in settings. But along the way the Graphics tab decides it has to chime in too, and suddenly upon arriving to Audio, the whole screen resolution drops to… I don’t know. Some kind of blurry 16:9 though. Very weird, and very annoying. I didn’t even touch the Graphics tab. Music abruptly starting every time I pause is very jarring. The game gave me an achievement I didn’t earn when I entered Career Mode for the very first time. “A winner!: Get a Golden Statue in Competition” The game doesn’t listen the first time you tell it Exit Game. You literally have to Exit Game twice in order to exit game. [strike]To be continued…[/strike] I can’t take any more of this. Peace out.

I've been playing this game for a long time. I love the relaxation mode: you cook, calm down, and listen to pleasant music. It's especially great that you can customize your kitchen to suit your needs; it makes playing this game even more enjoyable.

this game prepares you for all sorts of cooking scenarios like for when ur pan enters the backrooms halfway through flipping salmon

Запустила эту игру спустя очень долгое время снова и поняла почему перестала в неё играть. Я абсолютно не понимаю откуда у этой игры большое количество положительных отзывов. Управление нарезки просто ОТВРАТИТЕЛЬНОЕ!! Нарезка чего-либо в принципе отвратительнейшая по механике! КАК? Как блэт в этой игре можно что-то нарезать ровно и нужного веса? Это симулятор страданий, а не готовки... К тому же добавились явные баги: я начала резать тыкву на доске и внезапно вся тыква прыгнула под доску... Несёшь куда-то что-то - оно дрожит в руках, если большое. Это симулятор Паркинсона? Симулятор повара-алкоголика? Игра планомерно ведёт тебя к хаосу на кухне, потому что при таком уе***ском управлении невозможно, чтобы там был идеальный порядок - ты пробуешь положить что-то на стол, а персонаж кидает это на пол... Может быть кого-то устраивает подобный цирк в механике игры и он считает это расслаблением... В общем, если вы хотите взбеситься и начать метать всё на кухне, то вам сюда. 10 бешеных поваров-алкоголиков с болезнью Паркинсона из 10 Не рекомендую к покупке Лучше попробуйте готовку в Рафт или Вальхейме, не мучайте себя

Как же хорошо готовится когда на кухне только шеф и никакие огузки под ногами не мешаются

This game is so hyper realistic at simulating cooking that when I crack an egg on my pc it burns to crisp immediately
