What players think
The recurring themes across 123 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Upon first boot I was greeted with a catchy upbeat soundtrack and a highly colorful opening menu that has the menu in some sauce being flipped in a skillet, a fun detail with a bit of whimsy that I quite enjoyed.
It is a good time waster, cute graphics, designing shops is always fun for me.
It's a little too easy to beat the free play once you get into the right flow of things, but the story mode is real hard.
Well the question is, Is Chef worth the full price of 19.99 to buy the game, I say yes, with a caveat, The DLC is pretty expensive considering the nature of the game, I would definitely wait on the DLC to be on sale before purchasing those portions, I appreciate that it’s additional content, but the value doesn’t seem as high with the cost being 5.99 to add Asian dishes, another 5.99 to add cocktails, and another 5.99 to add Pizza and baked goods.
