I really just CAN'T STAND these smarmy, sanctimonious, millennial robot girls. I hate this writing so much. I probably sound hyperbolic, but I'm getting old and I've played a LOT of games in my life. These are *probably* the worst characters I've ever been saddled with, and the worst "story." I would have dismantled these robots and sold them for scrap within 10 minutes. I'd rather have no story than this. One look …

bought this thinking it was a chill cooking/restaurant management game but it's actually the dark souls of typing game still had fun though, and the foods look delicious

I didn't enjoy it but that doesn't mean you won't. This game is frantic and I expect it would take a few tries to properly get a handle on the typing mechanics needed to turn over dishes quickly. For me, the problem is that it's TOO fast, there's not really opportunity to breathe or enjoy anything. It feels very awkward to have 6 orders for the same thing but you're not allowd to use one of your empty prep slots to …

This game can get difficult pretty fast, but you can choose to play in chill mode, which almost turns the game in a cozy cooking trip, while still being able to progress through the story and unlock new areas. The gameplay is a bit repetitive by nature, but thanks to the variety of dishes there is to master (with difficulty ranging from pressing a single button, to pressing so much keys it could have been this …

If you are not familiar with your keyboard/have to look at your keys a lot or don't do well with fast paced games, this game is NOT for you! Playing the normal game mode, everything is wayyyy too fast.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Somewhat dubious that a family casual game has flag choices promoting LGBT & trans pride. The way a developer promotes sexual orientation like this is outside the common sense boundaries and should be regulated. The game itself feels like a tough grinding saga. Not a cooking game, but more like a typing game.

neutral · AI labelView post →Way more stressful than fun. This game is just a ragebait. I was expecting something like the Papa's line of games but this is not it. I like cooking a lot, but this game doesn't really involve any cooking. Just mindless slamming at your keyboard. The controls are difficult to grasp, and the tutorial in the beginning tells you nothing. Anything you want to know, you have to figure out on your own at this point. I thought at least earning golden medals would be fun, but you can't even do that…

The pure Zen state you achieve when you are completely confident in your orders, your fingers flying on the keyboard as dishes fly out from your cart - or simply mashing Ctrl and watching Whsk and Cleaver deploy tens of orders all at once - it's all so perfect, so *visceral*.

Instead of reading mails, now you have these two robot girls making funny conversations. My favorite dialogue: "Well chef, good job, couple of notes." "My first note: i'm proud of you." "That's a terrible note." "It was a heartfelt note." "That's why it's terrible." They also added two significant gameplay elements, namely 1. truck upgrades, which mostly increases…

positive · AI labelView post →I love the CSD series in general, but I think I vibe with CSD3 the most. The general gist is you serve customers some food, and you prepare the food by pressing keyboard keys (or by clicking, or by joystick buttons). The problem is that there are up to 14 customers at once, so you have to do everything really quickly, and also manage your time to e.g. pick up a food from burning. You also prepare up your own menu for each level, giving you some strategy; you want to pick foods that are easy to…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I absolutely loved the first installment of this series and enjoyed the second. This one falls short on many levels. Difficulty seems to have been ramped way up, and while yes learning the unique keystroke combinations for every recipe will help, in many cases your food truck shows up to a sea of hungry folks who will only wait 2 seconds before storming off in a huff. It's not fun. Add to that a depressive soundtrack and passive-aggressive robots "helping" you and it's far and away from the…

Difficulty spikes I can handle, same for fastidious 'perfect only' grading systems but the NEGATIVITY from the NPC commentary was too grating to endure.

neutral · AI labelView post →I love food games in general, but I especially enjoy the fact that I can play this game on Standard mode for a thrill or Chill mode to relax. I can take it at my own pace. Recipes are easy to remember how to prepare if you're playing on a keyboard, as each ingredient is placed using the letter it starts with or the next letter (if the first is already taken by another ingredient). You're essentially spelling made-up words or common acronyms, which makes recipes easy to remember. This game also…

Extremely fast-pasted and stress-inducing, have no idea what kind of person will enjoy memorizing meaningless combos of keystrokes. Felt no sense of achievement after clearing a stage, only highly stressed that was even worse than working in a fast-paced, micro-managed workplace in the real world. 别信好评，别买，快跑

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bleugh! Baited in by reviews that promised me CSD3 had learned from CSD2 and was more like CSD1, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Still sports a bloated menu of dishes, so many of which are indistinguishable from one another in terms of execution and soul. Once again, the mechanically interesting food prep of the first game has been disregarded in favour of manic mouse movements to cover whole ingredient lists as fast as you can. No chores for flavour. Foods all feel identical:…

Plenty of replay-ability for those who want to play short term, drop then pick it up again. Could get stressful due to the play speed & controls as you progress, but the increase in difficulty is what makes it fun. :)

Turning rush hour into the main focus, and shifting everything around to support and accentuate this one idea is just so smart.
