    Awesome game, It takes 2 hours to get used to but after this time the game becomes an addictive jewel ,every level is different and restricted in a certain way, 100 % recommended, this game makes you think a lot, the only con I be found till now is that there is no way to know what are the demand percentage for each dish, sometimes you over prepare your line for a product with low demandAwesome game, It takes 2 hours to get used to but after this time the game becomes an addictive jewel ,every level is different and restricted in a certain way, 100 % recommended, this game makes you think a lot, the only con I be found till now is that there is no way to know what are the demand percentage for each dish, sometimes you over prepare your line for a product with low demand and the opposite.… Expand

    It fits certain type of audience. This is great if you only have fraction of time to play and would like to be able to turn it off at any seconds while still being able to feel engaging and challenged, this is it. The game focus on logic and problem solving, especially if you're aiming for perfect score. I lose interests in games quickly, and this is one of a few that I'd stay.

    This game is a lesson in guess-what-a-developer wanted you to do. This isn't fun. It's not creative. It's a hash of what comes out of the brain of a guy who sits in front of a screen for 18 hours a day. I get the overall concept. A unique puzzler with different solutions to the same problem. Be creative and inventive. It falls flat because the solution is locked behind EXACTLY whatThis game is a lesson in guess-what-a-developer wanted you to do. This isn't fun. It's not creative. It's a hash of what comes out of the brain of a guy who sits in front of a screen for 18 hours a day. I get the overall concept. A unique puzzler with different solutions to the same problem. Be creative and inventive. It falls flat because the solution is locked behind EXACTLY what ONE person wanted as the solution. Sure, you can come up with minor variances, but they aren't really different at all. Just google your solution. I'm sure sado-masochists will love this, otherwise, steer clear.… Expand

    If you've got a hunger for factory management sims and know how to think like a well-oiled machine, you'll want to pick this one up. [Issue #42 – October 2019, p. 23]

    Automachef is a really fine and simple automatics system puzzler game. Even with its abundance of options and menus, which can be its good and bad thing. It is still a fine game with its price tag and offers hours of problem-solving missions.

    Automachef is about managing resources and handling several objectives at the same time. For players who can take on such an exercise and who enjoy this kind of challenge, Automachef will be very welcome experience whereas for players looking for a simpler experience this will be an excessively complicated effort.
