I love playing this game with my friends but it KILLS ME to see AI generated slop all over, especially as a graphic artist. Hopefully with the money they receive from buyers of this game, they'll actually pay artists to update their typography and rat icons shown throughout the game. When I look at Steam reviews of this game, I see a lot of people calling out the usage of AI and the developers deny all claims. But …

Found out while playing that there is a MAGA cosmetic, not shown anywhere in trailers or screenshots, parody or not, it is quite a tasteless thing in a game that was otherwise quite fun, found out the developer's response to it being pointed out in the forums was really tone deaf as well, they state it is 'just a funny joke' and fail to see why having a modern hate icon in their game is a problem. As for the AI …

I started off running a cute little rat restaurant. Now I’m knee-deep in debt, the kitchen’s on fire, and I just lost everything at the blackjack table. Great game.

Alright so I'll freely admit, I really thought this was going to be streamer slop. Some crap that was designed not for fun but for streamers/youtubers to play in groups yelling at each other and getting into all that "whacky" shenanigans. The opening trailer on the steam page gave me those vibes and nearly put me off from wishlisting it entirely. So imagine my surprise to discover that this is actually a very well …

Normal gameplay is fun... but then chasing your friends around with a baguette and knocking each other down until you're laughing so hard you're crying -- priceless.

65% of the 248 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Restaurats. The complaint that keeps coming up: aI-generated assets are low quality and jarring. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is fine overall, but there's a MAGA hat and that makes me not want to engage with this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ai is cringe, just use ms pain if you need place holders smh. a $20 game should not have artificially generated assets in it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Indulgent use of low quality generative AI artwork throughout the game that feels jarring, low effort and ugly. Pay artists.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really liked the game until a MAGA hat started showing up on the Wheel of Fortune. Dev's attitude was really flippant, and it's a non-serious game. I don't understand why politics are included at all. Unfortunate, because the game itself is really fun, but I don't play games to deal with my everyday life. I did uninstall and refund. If you're not affected by the MAGA movement, and don't care about the cosmetic, it's a fun game for friends. If you don't support MAGA or are bothered by it being…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Highly disappointed about the use of AI, saw it in the original trailer and was happy to see that it was removed off the store page. Come to find that AI is still in the game on the skills menu. I feel like this should be disclosed or they should hire real artists to do those graphics and remove AI from the game entirely. Would've been so much better that way.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fundamentally, I think the game is relatively fun and hectic, the same sort of fun you would get from those supermarket simulator style games. I believe the progression could be improved, it feels just a bit slow during the prep time and a bit too fast during serving hours. How are 3 rats supposed to handle two couriers and a VIP hitting nearly all at the same time? Completely insurmountable task for I believe was day 17 or so. The reason my review is negative is simple, I simply do not agree…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is really fun, but the time spent preparing ingredients is even longer than the time needed to complete a level, and the preparation process is very repetitive. Please consider adding some machines with automatic cutting or stove upgrades, as well as rack upgrades, to improve the gaming experience. Right now, we’re just playing to clear levels rather than truly enjoying the gameplay.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall wouldn't recommend due to a lack of fleshed-out content to justify a $20 USD game and MAGA-leaning devs. Genuinely thought this game must've been in early access because of the lack of content and wonky, not fully fleshed out mechanics. The skill tree is just repeated full of the same uncreative perks and doesn't fully lean into its potential, making it feel boring and stale after just a few hours of playing. The cooking mechanics are complex enough to be fun, but the setup requires at…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The premise seems interesting enough and I wanted to love it because of rats, however the game has very obvious AI Generated assets which aren't disclosed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As it stands; I wouldn't recommend it. I thought the gameplay was neat, but kept checked the storepage at some point. No AI disclosure. After a bit of playtime, checked out some comments to confirm there's AI usage. Was going to continue playing with a friend, because another friend posted a thread on reddit where the developer (Alyssa) confirmed AI use, BUT that it would be replaced by real artists. Figured ok, when they go through with that, I'll buy the game. Went through some more steam…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i open the game i do the tutorial i see the wardrobe and change my clothes i see the blackjack table i take a look at my moneys i gamble i lose restaurant closed for bankruptcy 10/10 i would do it again
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the greatest game, the best game. on a scale of 100 I rank it 99. The one point missing is from boblin the delivery goblin. In the demo he was a great guy, the best guy. Loved that guy. However the friendly Boblin has been replaced by some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ freak ricky. Like who is this guy? whats with his face. That smile? Where did boblin go. BRING BACK BOBLIN. I dont trust Ricky, I don't trust his looks, his motives, and i sure as much dont trust his products....... I mean seriously. How…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game uses Generative AI slop for much of its artwork, making it impossible to support as a person who values real art and artists. Refunded as soon as i found out. PAY ARTISTS!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →so the upgrades are a lie huh.. day 18 and still no upgrades, the prep takes hours, skill tree needs more depth (esp on cooking side), and still waiting for other types of customers besides the first 3. Co-op roguelike gameplay is super fun but with 5 hours in and barely any progress is kind of disappointing, its too slow for a fun friendslop game. I can look past all the AI slop and Unity assets, the game has good potential but it needs more depth besides the sea of skins
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would have never gotten this game if I had known there was AI in it. I unfortunately got it because they didn't add that section to their description, which I'm pretty sure goes against Steam's TOS. You could have gotten artists to help with making the logo and trailers, labels for the boxes, and other places that I may not have seen the AI slop generated at, but they chose not to. I am completely and utterly disgusted and disappointed. Regardless, from the bit I played before realizing…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Eh, game was fine I suppose but still has gameplay issues. However, the MAGA hat cosmetic was very much in poor taste at minimum and just kinda sapped any semblance of fun out for me
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the undisputed best game of all time. Rats, rats, we're the rats.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →my friend and i played this game for several hours last night and had a lot of fun! i enjoy games like this a lot and the gameplay scratches an itch in my brain. but i was thoroughly disappointed by the egregious use of AI-generated imagery, and even more disappointed to find out that there is no disclosure of its usage anywhere and the devs' shady behavior surrounding it (eg. denying usage of AI even though it's extremely obvious). for this reason, i cannot in good faith recommend this game…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Uses AI for art with no disclosure.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →These sort of silly party games are typically not my thing. I played through the tutorial. Free weekend so why not, right? My younger son loves these so we'll probably give it a go later, and I'll update my review. AI The AI voice in the trailer video was more jarring than the AI assets in the game, but it's clearly still there and about as detracting as you might expect it to be. I won't neg the game just for AI use, but if you hate AI you'll most likely hate it here. I do wish Steam had…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i liked the game a lot but the fact that theres allegedly a MAGA cosmetic and uses generative ai with no disclosure is very disappointing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The team's choice to double down on keeping a MAGA hat cosmetic in the game and their inability to admit to their AI slop utilization ultimately ruins what could have been a great game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The devs responded to another comment but they outsourced the 2D assets and unfortunately they are made with generative Ai. I do not want to support this until they change it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Normal gameplay is fun... but then chasing your friends around with a baguette and knocking each other down until you're laughing so hard you're crying -- priceless.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There is a MAGA hat cosmetic available in game. A hate symbol being used as a joke while thousands of people are actually suffering at the hands of the vermin who wear it. Its not cute, its not funny, it is in fact DISGUSTING. After it was brought up in a steam discussion board the devs deleted the initial post bringing attention to the hateful cosmetic. A second post was made reiterating consumer concerns and only then did the devs actually respond with a measly "We think its funny! Its…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Where to begin with this? First off, whatever happened to Steam's AI content policy? You know, where developers have to disclose when their games contain AI content? Because there is a lot of it in this game, and it was not mentioned anywhere on the store page. Second, this game is so badly optimized and buggy as to be borderline unplayable. My friends and I couldn't even finish the tutorial because it bugged and wouldn't let us serve the second guest. Not to mention the laggy controls, making…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →MAGA hat present in game, don't want to associate with a title that contains this sort of thing. If we knew this beforehand we wouldn't have purchased this or refunded within the 2hr limit. Upon looking into the comments, seems there are also allegations the devs' used (outsourced to) Generative AI for some 2D assets. That aside, the upgrade system is a bit too random. Its not coded to filter out duplicate cards that have been accepted and can cause some upgrade times to be very…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Almost a good game. It's very confusing because all the ingredients for a fun game are there, but the way they present them is honestly terrible. At first it's pretty fun but once things settle and you understand it as a game, it feels like the developers screwed something up along the way, or just didn't playtest the game much before shipping. My main issue: you spend 3ish day cycles where nothing changes at all. Once you finally get a chance to upgrade the restaurant, you are presented with…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Amazing, fun game, sadly the most recent update has introduced a lot of optimisation issues, so I hope they can fix this. All these people complaining about AI and not even linking evidence is hilarious - devs have spent a lot of time replying to reviews explaining that they worked hard to hand craft their game. Also don't understand the unironic outrage at a hat that doesn't even say MAGA, its 'Make rats great again'. Stop being miserable and just laugh once in your lives. Epic devs! Keep up…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Like Overcooked but in a fantasy setting with rats. Skins/emotes unlocked every day played in game. Gets complex fast with the amount and size of recipe items. Good fun in a group. Voice coms are a must.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →AI generated slop content. Never played a game this unengaging before. Also feels like it is mining bitcoin in the background with how unoptimized it is.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Too much AI ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and also doesn't really work with 2 ppl. Built for 4 and you play at a severe disadvantage with any less.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As it currently stands I would not recommend buying this game AI art, low frame rate (with stutters) and a buggy, long tutorial It is very much not worth it for the full price, maybe if it was 80% off on a sale. Your AI slop bores me.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Uses ai generated images in the game. Was looking forward to this game but there's too many problems with the use of generative ai that I won't support. Makes this game look like a cheap money grab.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love coming home to be a rat serving rats feeding fantasy characters playing with my fellow rats just being a rat
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dev uses generative AI, do not buy.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While the concept is fun the game play boils down to holding E for EVERYTHING! It gets very boring very fast. It needs some minigames!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gameplay is just too slow, upgrades seem impossible to gather, had 4 of us bored after 2 hours since the fourth guy had literally nothing to do except wash dishes which is not alot, for its price I would much rather push people to other games in this genre personally. Edit: seen the reply about devs stating AI art was removed (still looks sussy but ill take their word on it)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Trailer is cringe, the game is 3d plateup/overcooked with 4 player coop and random events during your shift. furthermore it has a chilling narrative of a 9-5 worker who struggles with gambling addiction and loses all the restaurants money daily.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Went in with fairly low expectations with a few friends because we wanted a fun, quick multiplayer game to play. This game delivered fun FAR beyond what ANY of us expected. This is going to be a FANTASTIC game if the roadmap delivers what it foreshadows. The current gameplay? Chaotic, addictive, and rat infested. 11/10.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Littered with horrible looking ai assets
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →not recommended especially not for 20 bucks. try bronzebeard tavern instead for free.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game would be good if black jack wasnt obviously rigged for the dealer to only get 20 and 21 ... 0/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun, little game that's very comfy to play. It feels like you're experiencing something straight out of the 2000-2010 era. The game can be challenging at times, but overall, it's not very difficult. And yes, I like rats.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Utilises generative AI in multiple areas, however this is not disclosed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love this game first day played it for 5 hours, and i'm a casual gamer. So much fun to run around with all the chaos. 100% would recommend
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Me and my friends were excited to try this game out for the free weekend event. We love finding those good old friendslop games with prox chat and plenty of chaos to throw around. Like PEAK and Super Battle Golf. Well, we were sadly mistaken about this one. Not only does the game feel ENTIRELY unoptimized, it overrides my mic settings in-game so all my friends and I top out our mics and it's unpleasant to say the least. Not to mention the very obvious ai "art" slop found throughout the game…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played a bit for the free weekend at my friend's request, kinda wished I was just playing Plate Up instead. Not that I would have otherwise, but I can't recommended a game that not only uses generative AI- even if it is only placeholder art- AND doesn't disclose said use anywhere on the store page. Just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly, Restaurats is such a fun game. It’s genuinely challenging in the best way. My friend and I play as a duo, and it actually forces real conversations about how we want the restaurant to run each day—which is awesome and surprisingly intense. The game throws tons of interesting, dynamic events at you that keep you on your toes and stressed… but in that good, gamer way 😄 While restaurant customization could use a bit more love (and it’s already on the roadmap), the character…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →- GAME BREAKING BUG, assistant waiters you hire will keep selecting seats you've already chosen for other customers, causing the original customer to lose their seat, which makes them mad & leave instantly losing all lives quickly & ending the game. If not for this bug I would give it a positive review. Also for $20 USD and a full release this game shouldn't have a game breaking bug like this. - Horrible optimization, laggy inputs. Having good performance & high FPS is as important for this…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a cute game to play with friends and I would love to buy the full thing I genuinely see a lot of potential! That being said the AI usage is obvious in a lot of ways and is very off-putting. I like human-made things.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is fun... Although not too happy with the VIP that ♥♥♥♥♥ everywhere even though i dance perfectly for him...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My hubby got us this game because we love playing Overcooked and other games that include running our own business, especially restaurant oriented ones. I have to say we LOVE IT! We had play so many of different games that just didn't hit the spot like Restaurats did, we didn't expected a lot at first, but our jaws dropped as soon as we started the tutorial. There is so many options to dress up your rat, so many different recipes that ngl are kinda hard at first with prepping, cutting,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Probably the most fun I've had with friends in months! It's beyond well-paced, and we're just doing the friendslop mode. Casual playing, leveling up, hanging out, assigning tasks. It's a great time just figuring out mechanics while chatting and hanging out with everyone. I'd give this 10/10 100 times out of 100.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Latest game trailer I voiced: The demo for "Restaurats" store.steampowered.com/app/2870920/...
neutral · AI labelView post →Not recommended right now, as future updates and changes would easily make this game top tier Cons: - Prep time far exceeds actual game play. 30 mins of prep with only 10 min of game play is not an optimal ratio - Lacks difficulty, slow progression rate causing it to seem repetitive - Too much down time in between rounds and sometimes during the round itself. - Expenditure often exceeds income, capping your progression further - e.g. ingredients often costs at least half the income you…
