Oct 28, 2025Space Chef from developer Blue Goo Games and publisher Kwalee Ltd is an enjoyable, user-led cozy game that requires your exploratory efforts to make it a fun experience. While not perfect, it offers a deep and rich gameplay experience that is different than the usual cozy game.

Oct 27, 2025Space Chef combines cooking, crafting, and adventuring into one seamless quest, but none of its individual parts truly shine. Progress may be slow, but the variety of options grows steadily, letting you cook up all manner of strange dishes to serve to your customers. The planets are diverse, and there’s no shortage of small tasks to keep you busy. However, while there’s plenty to do, few of these activities feel particularly rewarding. Its simple mechanics make it approachable and best suited for short play sessions rather than long stretches. With so many cozy games offering stronger management and life-sim elements, Space Chef risks fading quietly into the background.

Oct 30, 2025Space Chef is a tangled mess of good intentions that end up being hampered by a flawed interface on several levels, as well as a progression system that is unfun, bureaucratic, and boring. While the exploration, the discovery of so many variables, and the handcrafted visuals work well with the game's nonsensical premise, and each mechanic has its own merits, the soup seems to lack salt, pepper, and balance. The final result is bland and, at times, hard to swallow.
