Nov 11, 2021Epic Chef got under my skin a fair amount, but it's so insanely funny that I can't help but forgive its shortcomings. I wish it was less grindy and had some of the tedium lessened, but this is an entertaining, lengthy game with a ton of personality. You hear me?!

Nov 11, 2021For being as strange and bloated as it is, Epic Chef is a very engaging experience. While there are an almost frightening number of different mechanics involved, they all work together in interesting ways to create a very cohesive experience. Some people will like specific aspects of Epic Chef over others, but the way in which they work together means that very few are going to have trouble engaging with the whole, at least on some level.

Nov 11, 2021With reams of fantastic dialogue and a unique take on the slice-of-life genre, Epic Chef is a worthy recommendation for fans of Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley. That being said, the introductory elements of the game could do with a bit more detail, and I’d love to see Epic Chef shine over a bit more of a spotlight on Ambrosia’s background characters.
