Wasteland Kitchen

It's just not my thing after the update. I preferred the more "do tedious thing, repeat" gameplay, though I do acknowledge that I am in the minority opinion for that. The game is now much more of a game, it just isn't for me anymore. I also found the quickness of the cooking to be jarring, and it is too fast for my liking. I also could not figure out how to make patties. I couldn't find the meat dispenser that was in the original version, and hitting the meat chunk with a hammer just deletes the chunk, however I could just be an idiot. Definitely give this game a try if it seems interesting. I can tell the developer put in a lot of work in order to make the game worth your money, and I would say that the game looks worth the $15 being charged for it, it just changed a lot since I last played, and I don't like it anymore. May be for you, just not for me!

For what it is, its worth 10 bucks. I got it on sale for 11.24. Feels like their pushing the price point. You just run a janky kitchen. Its what it says on the tin.

I killed a man then ground his carcass into a paste and served it to a customer 10/10

I like the game, dont get me wrong... But it DESPERATLY needs some attention... Bugs, wonky controls, things that dont work right, cant even serve customers because they dont despawn so new ones can spawn in. On sale, yes, its fun for a little bit. Full price, cant recommend. Dev, please do something. It has so much potential.

I'va always wanted to kill my enemies and feed them to other people, now I can!

I enjoyed the earlier builds before the crafting update, the crafting is fine and all for equipment but the cooking from the old versions would have been better oh well, unfortunately the game lost the energy i enjoyed removing the MEAT TANK and the old cooking system 2/10 Dev had something solid and kinda killed it went from more unique to lackluster

At the time of writing, there's apparently a big update in the pipeline that might obsolete this review. But until that drops, it's rough going, even for "the basics of gameplay". It's mainly held back by it's default keybinds, which are not well explained or terribly intuitive, and not very ergonomic. Q opens your guidebook, but doesn't *close* the guidebook, that's tab. You can pick stuff up with E, but to place it on things, you need to push G to drop, rather than E again or left/right click as one might expect. A lot of keys to do not a lot. Bindable keys will fix this, but default binds should generally be workable, and these are testing the limits of "workable". Customers that aren't hungry can be eaten, but it's an agonising process for all parties involved. Them, because you're killing them with a hammer. You, because while you can use a cardboard box to carry most of the gibs, you can't fit arms or legs in there neatly. Which make up like, half of a human. So those need to be carried one by one -- four trips on their own -- and carefully dropped into the grinder. Can't drag a corpse there and break up your meat on the spot, or dump them whole. The bus is very narrow, walking around or dropping a box of buns in there is challenging. You could triple the width and it would still be a very narrow bus. Graphics-wise, not much to say; it's early days and aesthetics/optimisation is a late development concern. But the choice of font for the majority of text could do with reconsideration, particularly for bulk text like patch notes, or anything remotely important to the player. The current font is hard work to read, suffice it to say. All up, there's potential in the future, but definitely some work needed to realise it, and until that update drops, it's a bit of a gamble.
