    Chef Life: A Restaurant Simulator captures both the stress, gratification, and realism of the heat in the kitchen. With the opportunity to juggle many different knives at once, such as prepping, managing staff, and cooking, there’s a lot to this game. Players can show individual creativity through plate and restaurant design, or focus simply on the meal. It’s a solid addition to the many different cooking games within the simulation genre.

    It may not be the most in-depth sim, but Chef Life: A Restaurant Simulator does a great job of recreating the mechanics of running a restaurant without devolving into grim spreadsheet nonsense or coming off as loose-limbed mobile port fodder. I wouldn’t give it a Michelin star, but I’d definitely eat there.

    Other review is true.

    This never shouldve been released. Even if you do get past the INSANE # of bugs, JUST within the tutorial the damn game

    Even if you do get past the INSANE # of bugs, JUST within the tutorial the damn game isnt even fun.

    The fact critics avg is 7.1 just proves total corruption and lies on their end. Like most of us already knew that but for any of them to rate this even over a 4 is complete brown nosing for unknown reasons. (Well, tbh we know why, and its pathetic)

    I went in expecting a more complex mix of overcooked and some sort of restaurant making sim. But even the recipes in this game (job???) are not even a little fun making. Like, at all. Forget the bugs for a moment, the game is boring as hell. That said there IS a ton of bugs. Horrible explanations, etc. like having to make the same dish 3 times in the first tutorial, but it only says to make it once. Leaving you to believe its stuck and you quit. Mind you at this point, you cannot even save.

    Dont support this game. Its nothing like overcooked. Which wouldve been perfectly fine, yes, but the bugs and it not being fun AT all…. Man this game is flat out horrible. Would not even pay 9.99. It feels like an actual job playing this, maybe they should be paying us. Seriously this game is disgustingly bad

Tons of bug and the lazy devs dont care to fix them fast. Players lost their hundred hours saves and the game likes not being tested before launch. Selling for 40-50 bucks and it is not playable.
