Cooking Simulator

it's not an inherently terrible game and its worth a play if you're looking for a casual laugh, but the mechanics leave a lot to be desired (most fragile plates and bottles one could think of) and it's not very realistic to actual cooking. the lack of good graphics also cause your food to look repulsive most of the time even if it's prepared "perfectly".

TL;DR if you're debating buying this for casual fun gameplay, get it. if you want an experience similar to actually doing what the title of the game says, pass.

Ur gonna love trying to cook in this game.....

but this game is actually pretty fun game to play when you have free time

but i mostly just recommend even tho i dont have it yet to get the vr version cause it just way more easyer

its what you expect, cooking game, pretty interesting

I can break plates and break bottles and I can make food and make my computer have a heart attack.
Very fun. (:

explosions. lots, and lots, of explosions. after blowing up the kitchen, i served an exit sign to a customer.

Get ready for gamebreaking bugs that ruins your save games, your playthroughs, and your life. Save your money and dont waste your time.

I love this game it is a perfect game for food and cooking geeks alike.

Could not cook escargot and fight dio as jotaro kujo 2/10 did not provide what was advertised.

Yes very good game. I burned and blew up the kitchen multiple times already. I can also cut raw eggs in half. Very good. Also, the plastic bucket's durability is godlike.

Play this Game & you get hungry in real life & end up getting Fat!!!!

As of 2025, it's an incredible game imo. they're still constantly adding updates/patches and I can't tell you how many times I've played and restarted the main mode and the dlcs (haven't bought sushi yet) just because I want the fun of unlocking everything again. I've only ever had one game breaking bug and that was in the pizza dlc, which was fixed within a few weeks.

i wish i could give stars, because there is a lot of ups and downs, yes, the game is simple, but great for expressing creativity too! but... of course, the game is glitchy, worse then being slow, no, instead it dramatically throws stuff around cause it cant... lift a plate off a ledge of a counter? then you just drop the plate, on the floor! still, i guess its OK, but why is it so hard to place food neatly on a plate?

Really cool concept and awesome game-play feel... but... the bugs. Things glitch into each other, objects disappear, there are bugs where you cant interact with spices and liquids all of a sudden, things get "stuck" to the floor, cant place boxes back onto the shelves... the list goes on.

The icing on the top -the last straw for me- was the game crashing out repeatedly right after I was done prepping for the day ahead. I wanted this game to be enjoyable so bad!!! I was really looking forward to it! And I hope they fix it in the future, but the bottom line is that a game that's not playable is not enjoyable. Pretty obvious.

I absolutely love this game! I enjoy all of the different DLCs and consistent updates they offer for the game. It's pretty straightforward and easy to play, with options for career or sandbox modes. I prefer the sandbox mode so I can make any recipe I want in any location I want. Overall very fun game if you enjoy cooking and simulation!

I own nearly every DLC for this game (I have no plans to get Food Network) , I am slightly obssessed. It requires a lot of patience if you actually want to do well, but it also has that fun side, where you can basically do whatever you want, not limited to; setting your kitchen on fire, drowning food in every liquid imaginable or even serving basically raw food.

However, I think that the Shelter DLC was the best one yet, the addition of lore, no matter how minimal, was fantastic, it made the game feel more real and made me actively try to do well so I could find out what happened. Straight after I finished the Shelter DLC I checked the other DLCs for any lore. Sadly, shelter was the only one to offer this, I think that the game could do with more lore, as it just makes it all the more fun to sink your teeth into it. I did however at that point buy the sushi DLC. Which has taught me valuable lessons about prep, which is so key for that DLC. I honestly haven't played the base game since the first 20 hours of my play time, so I cant say much about that. All the DLC's feel expansive and like they are actually adding something, nothing feels pointless.

I love this game, I would definitely recommend it if you have any interest in cooking simulators. Its one of the best I've ever played. Please add more lore I would pay a ridiculous amount of money for it.

Good game but full of bugs! My fruit salad got a zero even though there was nothing wrong with the taste, technique or temperature, which was really frustrating :(

I blew up the entire kitchen with gas cans then made the saddest hamburger of all time.

its fun but keeps crashing when i try to join in

Made a steak with every known spice and with a marinate of every liquid i could find including my piss 10/10

This game is very fun, very exciting. (sometimes) I enjoyed playing it. solid 9/10

love cooking i play this when im sick of cooking irl

I really liked this game, but it's a buggy mess at the moment... fix it!

Easy to learn and very educative

great game, can reacreate iwojima with propane tanks

worked fine for a while then kept crashing when i tried adding sunflower oil to the paella pan, still pretty good game as long as it dosent crash

Cook must cook (IM OBSSED WITH THIS GAME HELP ME)

Great game! I enjoyed the cookies and cakes a lot. The only thing i wish was that it allows us to make a border on both top and bottom cake layers. Overall wonderful game tho.

Super fun game!!!!!

its a good game but i feel it needs more to it, i get bored very fast but all together a decent game to play, very realistic

can deliver slop to customers. Brilliant.

This seemed like a great game. It looked fun judging by its advertising info. As I bought the game and played it; however, I was sadly disappointed. This game has almost too many bugs to enjoy. While I still play it, I have been repeatedly frustrated by many bugs. Also some aspects of the game have been disappointing, such as when using liquids while making foods. There are recipes in career mode, but the demonstrating of the food as it is completed and the absence of realistic cooking was too frustrating to handle. I do not recommend this game, I suggest you find a better simulator to spend your time on.

occasionally you have to save and restart game to get stove and grill working again but all in all, decent cook sim.

Very fun to do things you would never do irl, such as trashing your kitchen

why the hell did I buy this? I can cook irl and it costs less and leaves me food. Im so dumb

Damn, I'm just as bad at cooking here as in real life

this game is so buggy and the controls make no sense

Cooking Simulator:

I got the cookie and a pizza DLC for free. I don’t know how I got it. My friends didn’t get it for me. I didn’t buy it, but I’m not complaining.

Still a bugged and unfixed mess, dreadful quality of life decisions that are unrelated to any "funny jank" that Big Cheese Studio was going for. The fact that you have to cut precisely, somehow managing to cut pieces of meat into 5 exact pieces or that you're supposed to drizzle ingredients in a certain amount on liquid, but the game then complains about the wrong amount is weak. parts still fall through plates when you pick them up or you're required to Alt + F4 in career mode because you're stuck in the loading screen.

The kitchen is on fire.

Help

it has potential but it's mostly frustrating trying to get the right amounts of ingredients, the accidental spillings, some of the controls and needing to buy some of the basic tools right at the start. the game also has some glitches but it's playable.

good get the dlc tho

I'ts fun and hard at the same time

I put a propane tank in a deep fryer.
10/10

LET HIM COOK :fire::fire::fire::fire:

put a gas can on the lit stove its gonna be a fire time

Cooking simulator is a nice and relaxing cooking simulator (who would've guessed). some people might find it stressful which if you're playing on the chaos gamemode (where you have all menu items active at all times). but there's casual gamemodes and you can even turn off the meal timers so it's even more stress free. overall a good game.

Cooking Simulator Review: 4/5

i love feeding people poisonous substances to people in this game lol

not made for new bees. cool graphics but hard
