Hot Pot For One
It’s mostly about loneliness, very, very short, and easy to misunderstand. By most standards, it would be barely a game at all. But if you don’t have expectations this thingy never tried to meet, it is kinda… nice. You stand in the kitchen, cook, eat, and for every piece you eat, memories start floating up, showing how food connects you to people, mostly your significant other. You eat rather little, clean up a bit and watch the end titles. There are no other people, no movement, no action, and if you were depressed to start with, you are not going to feel less depressed. But you may recognize the feeling.

The good:
-
Nice atmosphere
-
Music is sweet
The bad:
-
Boring as hell
-
Story isn’t worth it because there is none.
-
Art made for the “memories” you get when you eat a piece of food are just crudely drawn stickmen.
-
All that stuff in the fridge and cupoards? You can’t touch it. I was expecting to have the ability to get silly and pour coke into my hotpot. Nope.
You turn it on, put stuff in it that doesn’t burn (so it’s no fun), eat only a set number of food from it that makes you think about ugly stickmen, put a tiny amount away in a large fridge and then dump over 150 food items into the bin.

Cook-Out
Awesome game, its Overcooked VR.
I’m about a third of the way through the game, and it has gotten really complicated. I’m now chopping, saucing, grilling, cleaning, and plating all at the same time with my friends, and its delightful yet difficult.
Technical:
The multiplayer lobby system is REALLY easy, its just a room code. The Netcode is also really great, the polish is high, I’ve honestly had zero technical issues with the game.
This is a multiplayer-forward game, if you want a more single-player oriented experience, I would direct you to Rags To Dishes.

This is probably the one of the best VR Cooperative games to play with friends when you want something chaotic ala Overcooked. Missions become harder and harder as one progresses, and even with 3 friends requires quite bit of coordination to get past some of the challenges with full 3 stars.
There is also a puzzle mode which is fun to do while waiting for everyone to be ready trying to figure out various recipes. Some feel a bit obtuse tho and dont provide enough hints on solving them.
There are occasionally some bugs as well, but these are relatively minor: Had desync issues (between people playing across europe and us) but this gets solved by reconnecting on the next round and are relatively rare. The mission difficulty also is a bit all over the place with the later where very hard missions (to get full stars on) get followed up with something that is a breeze to 3 stars, but not sure if thats intentional or not.

A well designed DLC and enjoyable progression. The problem is that it relies heavily on cutting things into certain size pieces which is nothing short of infuriating. I enjoyed it at first, but as I got more recipes with annoying cutting requirements it just ruined the experience. Also trying to pour 5ml of liquid is annoying as well. At home I use a measuring cup so if I pour too much I can correct it. In game I have to use the mouse and time it right or get gotcha’d. I hate the cutting, and the physics can be annoying when you are moving around with plates and things fly off or bang into the wall. Gameplay that relies on the cutting mechanic ruins this DLC. The Pizza DLC was such a nice step forward, this one would be as well if the cutting was changed or removed.

Kitchen Simulator 2
(Got this game for free via dev submission to SteadyGiveaways. Thanks!)
Trailer makes it look good, gameplay gets boring and fast!
Kitchen Simulator 2 is a simple game about gathering food and serving it up…not exactly cooking stuff. Some people want pizzas, others want half avacados, and some idiots want a single carrot slice….though the biggest idiots already have food on their plates even if it’s something they’re asking for.
If there’s something this game gets right is that the food looks great. Handling the food and all other models, however, look pretty bland or buggy. There’s also LAN support, but why bother when you don’t even have LAN multiplayer? This game basically has 10-15 minutes of gameplay before it spits you out at the main menu as if you hit the ESC button, which gives you the same result.

ok but what the actual fuck is this game??? it must be some type of woman thing but i cannot wrap my skull around this game, some of the items i think have been made up. wtf is a long muffin how can a muffin be long and where the fuck do i find it? what is the difference between french bread and normal bread how the fuck am i meant to serve you the correct origin bread that looks no different to japanese bread? i can grab the food just as well as Jimmy Savile can grab a child. there is no consequence if you miss a customer and i dont actually know the point as there is no scoring system and after the day ends it puts you back to the main menu. other than that id say 10/10 i would def recommend to a friend and i hope to learn all sorts of interesting facts about food prep and what its like in the kitchen. i would also like to state that Gordon Ramsay has been awfully quiet about the release of this game as i think all his fans would move to this far superior teaching method. i hope to obtain all the knowledge i possibly can from this game so i dont have to rely on my disobedient wife to make me shitty burnt scrambled eggs every fucking day. i hope you found this review helpful 👍

Food Decisions
The main gameplay is to compare the values and select the food needed for the task. Generally speaking, this game is boring, but it taught me a lot of common sense. Let me realize the importance of healthy diet. With that in mind, I decided to give a good review.
